Dragon Age Character Creator in Inquisition: A Disappointing Experience

I personally have not seen it because up until very recently I didn't care much about Inquisition. Now, I know this information has been out there for awhile. What really disappointed me next was the character skill screen. It's very clear that Inquisition was not made with the KB/M in mind, but that's been discussed to death.

Why the hell did Bioware think it would be a good idea to use dim lighting for character creation? And what went wrong with the incredibly stiff facial animations? My female Qunari looked fine when I designed her, but in-game she had large, comical rabbit buck teeth that always showed through her slightly agape lips.

Despite this, I tried to continue on. Regardless, I ended up with a character that I was eh...kind of satisfied with, only to be extremely disappointed with how that character looks and animates outside of character creation. Also, the two available female voices don't really work for either race, at least in my mind and what I'm used to from DA: Origins.

The one thing I noticed while designing my character is that trying to make a 'feminine' character is really hard, at least for Dwarves and Qunari. The actual gameplay and depth of customization is what I find to be personally lacking.

This isn't even about the horrendous KB/M implementation, confusing and clunky menus, or mediocre tactical view. That being said, I simply am having a very hard time enjoying Inquisition. Dragon Age: Origins is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and when I heard that Inquisition was going include elements of Origins, I was really excited.

I've never played Dragon Age II, so maybe I'm just missing out on some important context. However, it's clear that the character creator in Inquisition has left a lot to be desired for many fans of the series.
