The only eyes that looked right to me...all the others looked fake or something. And one looked just like Jansen's from Lost Odyssey. (goofy)

The eyes are the only characteristic I'm not overjoyed with, all the options seem a bit soft.

My character is nothing particularly revolutionary in terms of character design but he'll do.

So far, the female voices are terrible. At the very least, the corresponding adjective does not fit at all; try listen to the "violent" one. It's understandable Bioware chose to make the playable character silent.

I think the voices are bugged or something. It plays same voices with few different options.

Anyways, here's mine. Elf mage who will be evil and selfish as fuck. I'm thinking of the arcane warrior route as I have a soft spot for warrior/mage builds.

I'm liking the character creator so far, especially the portrait feature. I'll see if I can make a good enough looking character and get some pictures off something stronger than my laptop.

I managed to make a young Peter O'Toole. Except with pointy ears
 
I could not get a good capture from the creator (some kind of brown blotches all over my right side of the screen). Mine reminds me of Jesus

So I captured the profile on Bioware's social network site where you upload them to

Oh god...

When the chicks speak, you can see their teeth from some angles.

They look like they've been smoking 10 daily bowls for the last 20 years :lol :lol

Edit: Look at this:

Wait, I thought you had to choose from a couple different premade characters and play through their respective stories... or am I confusing this with another RPG?


Anyway, awesome, interest ++. Love making my own characters.
 
I'm getting lovely 800kb download speeds. Can't wait to try this out!
Edit: Nice to see the classic Bioware launcher, with music that isn't hard rock.

There are 6 different origins based on race (and in one case class). That's probably what you're thinking of.
 
I tried to make ye olde wizard type guy, but he came out like he's really worried about something. Maybe if I give him the experienced voice he'll feel more Gandalfy. I'm not sure why, but I thought there was going to be a lot more options than this.

Haha, the portrait looks like Geoff Keighley :lol
 
Who will be first with a nekked skin?:lol

Seriously though, you can clearly see from this small part that the game is clearly developed for the PC and afterthoughts for the consoles. Just the way you can upload and compare your characters to Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins online community website is pretty smart. On top of that the extra challenges they're tying into the game (also to be compared on the PC website) will make the PC the platform of choice...

That must be it. Don't really know why I thought they were premade characters.

Excellent.

Depends on the race. I didn't care for any of the female elf voices, but the female dwarf ones are surprisingly good.
 
Worked a charm wman! Thanks!

Got my human mage set up, has the "violent" Disney villain voice set too.

And here's him when he's a little mad.

How are you guys taking screenshots? There doesn't seem to be a folder for them when I push print-screen and nothing is copied.
Well, try pressing Alt+PrintScreen, Alt-Tab to Desktop, open MSPaint, press CTRL+V.
 
I took mine with Fraps - I think I'm done for now.

And I agree on the female elf voices.
One positive point: even this character creation "demo" has a Vsync checkbox in the graphics options.
