I still think Dragon's Dogma is one of the best character creators out there. My blind was blown with 1, and 2 continues to impress me with its wide variety of possibilities. You can make absolute horrors, or some very good looking characters without even needing to be an expert in modeling. The options are so easy to use, and give you a ton of freedom.

However, its so close to being perfect I have to give it a thumbs down in hopes devs might see this critique and correct them.
The biggest complaint I have is the height limit of 160. I'm shorter than 160 IRL, as are nearly 40% of women in the world. Its really fun to create goblins, dwarves, or children, and as long as you can handle the last bit without being a creep, its fine.
Skin and hair colors are also sadly limited, to which I can only fear they'll be released behind MTX or DLC. Honestly, even if they were locked behind completion I'd still be in disagreement, I just like full creativity and want to be my blue haired twitter girl off the bat.
Tattoos are bloody amazing, but the fact you can't place them on your shoulders, hands, or feet is really meh. They're so close to being amazing, but when my scars fade away as they go over my shoulder, it can really dampen the experience.
Finally, hair styles and voices are very limited, although I can understand this would not be an easy fix. In DD1, we had 2 voices for each gender and a bunch of badly pitched alternatives. Here, its 4 voices with more reasonable pitches.

If these four issues were correct by the time of release, I'll be happy with calling this a perfect character creator.
