Wait a sec. Now I see what's going on here. the second guy, while initially incomprehensible, seems to be pissed because the majority of the character creation thingos don't allow for very attractive women? Granted, they don't allow for very attractive men either. They don't allow for very attractive anyones. No good hair, no good regular colors for hair, (Or supernatural colors, for that matter) no good textures... Hell, there's no really good slider options, so you can't change the bizarre shape of their skulls, which is mainly why they look like ass.
The facial features are befuckled enough, but they really did the best they could with these fucked up proportions that you can't really do anything with. It seems like they really are pulling an Oblivion by making everyone look weird and shitty so nobody ever tries to romance anyone. And, I mean, Shepherd always had some scruff, but the 2-dimensional, stringy/powdery tarantula-ass knots of horror that they dare to call facial hair is goddamn sickening.
Look, I come to videogames partially for escapism, right? Frankly, I don't enjoy living in a world where my lower face is a bald spot. Shepherd could offer some minimal relief for that, pathetic as it was, and as someone who doesn't find most body types present in video games all that interesting to begin with, "Eugh, these ROs are unnattractive!" has been a persistent issue in video games for me since the beginning, so I didn't particularly care or notice the character model thing until I read that post and actually went back to look at the character creation menu a second time.
It's different in games where there are only clean-shaven options, right? Because you at least feel that, even if they don't have one now, the character could grow a beard in the future, and that's enough. But Ryder (They're actually named Ryder in this game, which I guess should've been warning enough) attempts to grow a beard.
Now, understand this: Ryder grows a beard the same way Florence Foster Jenkins sings. In other words, he fucking can't, but instead of bringing joy to listeners and lightening the spirits of professional Nazi-Slayers, it brings sadness and disgust to all onlookers and intense shame to everyone who owns a Y chromosome.
So I present to you another reason why everyone in this game is so fucking ugly:
Faces as oddly befuckled as the one the female models have are the only ones desperate enough to get within kissing distance of that shameful, emasculating facial fungus, let alone commit the sin of engaging in anything remotely reproductive with someone who owns that kind of facecrap.
