I look forward to experiment with the new options for my Southrons, Easterlings, Dunlendings etc.
Not so thrilled about the option for the old avatars going away since I use those for almost all my chars. As much as I like to have more options I really hope for some straight long and middle/short hairstyles that do not look like the char has spend hours at the barber but has spend days and weeks out in the wilderness. I use the old avatars because most of the former "new" hair is simply too smooth for my rangers, brigands, farmers etc.
Dirt etc as more details would be appreciated, especially for roleplaying
The eye patch seems to clip right now. Please consider options like blind eye right/left/both and a patch for the other eye, too.
I agree that more sliders for the body appearance are needed.
Last but not least, especially with all that new options, please consider a possibility to save/load an appearance (at creation/at the barber). Right now one can write down the chosen options but to change hair/eye/skin color always seems to lead to a different outcome, however slightly it might be.
