SH: The audacity.

Lae'zel too, though I guess she would disapprove of most anything, especially large fleshy noses.

Giving elves that face wasn't fair. Its so pretty

Agreed, while I find many of the face options kind of weird or funny looking, there are some that look fantastic, especially with the right makeup combination.

I've yet to make a female character without this face, but I might give it a try now.
My wife has made quite a few great looking characters. She's made them all GOOlocks with the tentacle tattoos and the Demonic Green eyes, so it is definitely possible!

No doubt about that, I may also try other face options in the future if I decide to play another race.
Though I always feel like gravitating towards elves or half-elf characters.

Now I realize that the actual braid isn't visible in the picture I posted, but I really wanted to use a close-up of her face.
Here is the album with extra photos and another one with photos taken in the character creator.
Now. While I have used cheat engine before to spawn items, I never really paid attention to the BG3 modding scene, mostly due to the constant updates from a game in early access makes keeping all the mods you download compatible a royal pain.
But, now I decided to try some out. Granted this was also somewhat spurred on by all the screenshots people have been posting lately.
Anyway, being honest, though your opinion may vary on this, I did take a look at one of the character preset mods. But I found them all too reminiscent of South Korean MMO characters for my liking so I ended up going with one of the vanilla faces with one of the added Shadowheart hairdos from Customizer's Compendium 5th Edition.
As for the outfits, they are from the Basket Full of Equipment mod. My apologies though for not recalling their names at the moment.
When it comes to the face I used. It is vanilla face 4 for Elves/Drow with preset 9 for makeup, though you have to forgive me for not remembering the skin tone option I chose, I think it was either blush or warm.
With that out of the way. I actually find it kind of amazing how much a change in hair and eye color as well as style can make a character look different even though they have the same face.
As seen here with the Wood Elf Druid I made for another game, while using the same face.
Edit: Forgot to mention it, but one thing you will realize quickly upon using one of the modded in hairstyles, or at least the Shadowheart ones, is that they don't react to in-game physics like the vanilla haircuts.

Shadowheart looking at you in the background...
Definitely disapproved :D

She is throwing shade at my character for not having bangs.
