One of the main draws of many Bioware series of games is their Character Creators, which allow you to customize your player character to have the facial features, hair, and skin of your choosing. Unfortunately there are very few available options that are adequate for creating player characters of color.

-There are generally a wide variety of skin tones available but only one or two darker ones, and those darker skin tones often don't work very well in-game. 

- Changes in skin tone are sometimes not reflected in the armor selections where skin is shown, for example in Dragon Age 2 your hands will appear white even if you have selected a darker skin tone.

- There are a wide variety of hair selections, but almost all of them are for straight hair and do not include hair textures for POC. The styling options are similarly limited, often without choices for braids, locs, etc.

- Because of a lack of presets for characters of other ethnicities it is a difficult and complex process to create a character with facial features that are asian, hispanic, black, indigenous, or mixed-race. Meanwhile there are lots of pre-set choices for a variety of white faces.

If Bioware wants to continue to position themselves as a company that produces games for EVERYONE, they should strive to improve their character-building software so that players can make TRULY customizable characters.
