First, some context.
Watching my GF play through DA:O, for 9 solid hours I might add, is making me want to replay the game. Not super keen on the old school style of the combat and silent protagonist, but I'm not loathing it, the games solid. My issue though is that the character creator is kind of horridness.
When playing RPG's that let me make custom characters, I tend to make avatars that look like me. Hence my preference for insanely handsome black men. My main issue was that it's near impossible to make a brown skinned person that does not look...off I guess is the right word. The fact that when your a human noble, your family does not even share your skin tone is particularly disappointing. (Hell Fallout 3 handled that orders of magnitude better.)
Now onto my question.
How much better is the Dragon Age 2 character creator, with specific regards to the skin tones available to you? I've seen screenshots, I know that the game as a whole looks better. Can I make a brown skinned person that does not look like my character slapped a bunch of red and brown paint all over there face?
For the sake of having a reference, look to Mass Effect 2, another game by the same company.
I have zero issue make a my Shepard a sexy black man, does Dragon Age 2 allow me the same luxury?
