i think the next leap in character customization isn't more outfits, or more sliders, or anything like that. i think the next best step would be to let the player dial in exact measurements for body parts. it'd be really cool to measure your own neck, thighs, arms, head, etc. and then plop those values into a character creator instead of trying to fiddle with sliders and esoteric values that don't actually mean anything except in relation to themselves on an individual level. i think the only thing that games really have this for is height.

also, better beards k thx. every game either has shitty little goatees and moustaches or these massive braided dwarven beards. give us some nice, full beards PLEASE.
