This thread illustrates exactly the deficiencies in the creator. I exempted the Selene hairstyle ones but people still posted them. Basically that hairstyle on male or female with anime features always looks semi decent, I think it's something to do with the hair obfuscates the main facial features like jawlines, chin and forehead width.
Note: I have no experience of DSII character creator so will leave that out of comments.
Also it's the different sliders affecting different things that really pisses me off. You change the mouth occlusion and lip fullness for example, get it right and then you'll change the chin protusion and the whole mouth will fuck up into something twisted that then can't be corrected using the mouth/lip sliders. There are loads of sliders but a very limited range of options. You can't change a feature independently is what I guess I'm saying. Which is fine, except the fact some of the ranges are bizarre - like an inverted/concave forehead?
So I continued this morning and I was trying to replicate Daenerys - yes, I play video games and yes, I want to try and recreate people like Daenerys from GoT, Dwight Schrute from US Office, Vincent from Collateral et al. because it's fun. So this is 90 minutes last night and an hour this morning. The neck is obscured but it's weirdly inverted for some reason and the jawline is horrific; not to mention the lack of hairstyles rivaled only by DA:I Qunari.
If you don't care about it fair enough, but I'd actually prefer they just gave us a character like Geralt to play as rather than give us something where it's easier to make an inhuman mess than an actual human. Bar the 4/5 fairly generic, anime featured, same hairstyle base that people create.
