Wow!
I wasn't bringing over a character, and I'd been previously playing a game that gives you very finely-tuned facial structuring, so that probably accounts for my somewhat different response to TOW's character creation. I didn't find it bad, by any means, just less detailed... which ma, in fact, be a good thing, now I think about it. When provided enough freedom, I can sometimes be very skilled at creating characters that look..... off.

Aren't we all?
I'm wary of how MS will handle the TOW IP, but, on the whole, I'm cautiously optimistic. Time will tell, I imagine.
Also, something tells me, that TOW will get new features in the future (with a DLC perhaps). Example. While I was fooling around with the 3rd person camera, I noticed that the protagonist is the most detailed character in the game. The UE's texture scaling works the best with the protagonist. Up close you can perfectly see individual skin pores and body hairs. Also the feets! Because of course I took a closer look at the feets. The soles are properly textured with all the tiny details - skin texture, wriknles, toe pads and heels are pink'ish while the rest is skin toned and such. There's no legit way to see your character up close. Third person view in the inventory uses downscaled textures and all the detailes are lost. Same with the idle cam. And there is no way to see character's soles even in 3rd person. Crouching doesn't work - the camera doesn't swith to 3rd person after 60 seconds of idling when crouched. What was the point of spending so much time and effort into something that players could never see? The answer - 3rd person view was planned before release and we may see it later.
