That's hardly what I would define a "bit".

It's pretty much in line with today's standards. Some cases with more options (which often lead to hideous results) hardly qualify as a "standard".
That's what I was thinking, too.. of all the MMOs I've played, only a handful of them have character creation that's *that* in depth. Aion, Perfect World, Forsaken World... and a few others come to mind. Most MMOs, by far, do not offer that much character customization. So, it's by no means "modern standard".

I think we could do well with more hair styles, voice sets, eye colors... perhaps different chest sizes for those who seem to want it in a video game (kinda creepy, IMO)... but the all-out character customization of a game like Aion, as you stated Abriael, could lead to some very, very ridiculous, often creepy-looking characters which kinda detract from the game.

I mean check out some of the samples on this page: Click Here

No thanks.

By all means, more options for each race's look/sounds, details, etc... But I think they should still resemble what they're supposed to.
