Really happy with the general design and the variety of faces! Spent all day in the character creator yesterday. ^^
However, there are a few restrictions I'd like the devs to address:
1) Hairstyles are yet again tied to the faces. It was an extremely limiting situations with Hrothguys already and was criticized basically since release. I heard rumors there might have been issues with the ears, would they do it, but by now the devs managed to include several haircuts created without Hrothguys in mind and they work okay on them. And Hrothgals are an entirely new creation, there is no need to build them just as flawed. Please remove hairstyle restrictions and give all faces all exclusive base hairstyle options for both Hrothgals and Hrothguys.
2) The skin colour palette for Hrothgar of both genders is really limited. We could use proper orange or red tones aside from this wine/cherry candy tone Helions have now for example. Please give us more variety.
3) As Miloslav said, the awesome big cat nails are not part of the character model but the starting gear. It has been quite annoying I'd have to choose between the false claws from the Gold Saucer and any other arm gear for each glam of my existing Hrothgar. When I saw the claws on Hrothgals in the preview I was hoping at least the girls would get proper claws (and maybe the guys later on as well?) Sadly, this is not the case. I get how claws are not to everyone's liking of course, but many would love them, so please let us add them in the character creator as optional feature. I'd hate to "declaw" my Hrothgal as well just for the sake of nice arm gear. Having no hats is limiting enough already... ^^;
(Best would be to make this adjustable via Jandelaine, so we don't need a fantasia each time a nice new glam opportunity appears.)
Edit for comparison:
4) The fur on the fur patches like on the shoulders looked always a bit stiff on Hrothgar, but now with the graphical update and advanced lighting, it looks very greasy, especially in darker colours. Like it would be wet, but without being wet. If there'd be any way to change it so it actually looks a bit more like fur/hair again, this would be cool.
