Because it's a game, people already expect it to not be 100% precise and the general public will not notice nor care about the fact that FemRyder's punch didn't visually connect. To BioWare, it's more important to show that scene with FemRyder on it, than hiding a split-second flaw.
They don't release these trailers for NeoGAF. They release for everybody. And outside of GAF (or the BioWare fan forums...), people won't care.
Damn the faces look bad when you out of default. Gotta say that even though I wasn't feeling the game itself, I was expecting good things from the creator. I'll wait until the honeymoon period is over to make my assessment of the game to see if I should buy it when I have the time to play something.

I'm not missing the point, I'm just tired of hearing it. You were like the 4th person to post that image in this thread and it's just perpetuating a falsehood. I just think we should move on already.

Because why account for some doofus GIF'ing it and replaying it in slow motion when not even a percentage of a percentage of your userbase actually cares? Besides, again, in the trailer in reads perfectly fine. Do commercials for fabric softener need to start worrying because customers can pause their videos on places where their actor's face looks weird?

I was thinking "man, this is some great CC music right here" also.
It's detailed enough for me, I'm rolling default though I think now: don't wanna mess with Alec Ryders looks really (and Sara has really grown on me too).
Goddammit, just caught some footage from the IGN livestream and there's only 11 hairstyles for female Ryder and only one that could be counted as black. It's the default for head 8. Doesn't give me much hope for some black hair styles for male Ryder.
I do like the female precepts tho, especially 1 and 8. 8 reminds me a little of Quiet. Also liked what I've heard of the female voice so I might just have to play as female Ryder. Male Ryder sounds too much like Nolan North IMO.

They don't need to because it looks fine on male ryder. Probably a bug.
Punch still doesn't connect with male ryder. Watch it in... Bah who cares anyways.
I knew the character creator was going to disappoint so hell I'm not even surprised. Multiplayer trailer looked nice though, although 5 maps will probably get old fast.
I honestly wish they made a co-op story/campaign, a blend of Destiny and Mass Effect. Exploring the galaxy with a friend would be nice.

Yeah with a doze of Star Citizen/Sea of Thieves where you can man a ship with your mates, that's just be awesome.
I just had a session of Wildlands with a buddy, we really had a good time in fictional Bolivia even if I find the game limited, it's really fun in co-op (it's awful playing solo).
By the way, that 45 minutes Gamespot video has a big dip in quality, I guess it is finally ps4 footage? The custom Ryder doesn't look that bad.
I'm gonna spend hours trying to fix them.
lol that Scott Ryder looks older than the Dad.

Hey Look a Yao Ming appears:
The girls are really bad outside of one or two faces.
But the guys are gonna end up better than the default Ryder.
Look how bad the presets are :
And what you can do to them with simple tweaks :
I laughed at that preset yet I might end up picking it (with different hair) in the end :O .
Hope restored.
They have a couple of nice hair options for both female and male. Which, for bioware, is good.

As far as presets go, I always found them awful in any BioWare game. True magic is done when you customize them. As long as the customization options aren't too limited, getting a nice looking Ryder won't be too troublesome.
Chill.
Appears to be pretty limited, as you won't be able to change brow, nose, eye, mouth types.
Women get nothing but cornrow or straight hair. Or cut real short I guess.
The plus side being that they don't look like shit "ingame" anymore thanks to quality control and forcing models skeleton on the users.
You can still change them significantly to alter their looks as illustrated above.

Significantly deeper and more varied than The Division though.
Ain't that the truth
I'm surprised so many people are hating on the presets, they look like a nice step up from those that have been available in Bioware's past games.
But the customization options for the character creator itself... Why take such a huge step back from Inquisition's? I don't understand.

Yeah, just by fixing the hair it looks tons better. Why hair looks like shit? Frostbite?
Pretty sure that's Ryder since we saw the same scene in a previous trailer with default face.
SargerusBR
I love Pokken!
That's FemRyder
VlaudTheImpaler
tl;dr
Got nothing to do with Frostbite. They could easily fix up the hair shader within the same engine. (That's... kind of the whole point of a good game engine.)
They just really need to take some good pointers from other folks in the industry who know better. Like maybe Epic Games, for one?

That hair is just so ugly looking.
No way I can play this before a year or so by the time some decent CC mods come out.

Between this and the 45 minutes trailer, I'm pretty disappointed in the musical direction this small number of track segments point to - thus far, a massive downgrade in comparison with the mood and style of previous games...
Think I'm going to roll with a female modeled after Dominique Tipper when I end up playing this game.

You do realise that's Ability Drain's Ryder, not a side character....eh?

I'm glad I didn't buy the game on ps4, 30 fps feels like shit judging from the Gamespot video, there's some weird thing going on with the hair textures too, dunno what's that about.
The textures quality took a dip too as well as long load times. Compare the footage and see for yourself (for anyone who's on the fence on which version to get).

Yea. I really expect this considering I rocked Broshep for three games.
Please tell me this is a custom char and not anything Bioware designed and felt like leaving in the final game.
Yikes! Does hair normally...."break" like that?? I've been bald for 20 years so I have no clue.
I may go default as well. Looking like Nathan Drake is far more preferable to those presets, lol.

Pretty excited for this game, but it would be absolutely wonderful for Bioware to include customization options for height, musculature, and walking animation like in Dragon's Dogma. I would love to be a super fit Amazonian lesbian who has swag and towers over everyone - or at least all humans lol.

The humans look worse than the other species I've seen.

She is a character in the game, on the Tempest.
