Is there any word about the character maker getting fixed in an upcoming update? Is there going to be a plastic surgery or something for those who are already deep in the game but want to fix/change their look?

I seen that, but I didn't see anything on if you already have a person. Like to use the new items, do you have to make an entire new person when it comes out within 2 months? Or is there a way to change your saved person?
I would think adding this function to given games wouldn't be hard, and not out of the way. There is already a med person on most stations, planets, within your crew, etc. It also very much realistic to say there will be some plastic surgeon that are within the overall group. Beyond the known * job and face stuff, they help with burns, scarring from surgery, and other things. It's very much a given there is going to be some people that will be disfigure from electrical, burns, cuts, birth, etc. So having them wouldn't be immersion breaking.
I am very disappointed that adding to the male romance options for Sara Ryder is also not on that list of things to come.
Jaal's romance is decent, but not everyone is into aliens. Both of the human male romances for Sara are very lacking, one doesn't even count towards the achievement. Neither have a sex scene thats on scene.
Liams was very, very lack luster for such an amazing character.
If you don't choose to have 'sex' with him (the early off-screen sex that could potentially be a one night stand or more ) you don't even get a kiss scene with him until the very last scene of the romance, well after discussing getting serious. It's just so pooe that it's sad. First decent dark romance option that doesn't run away or cheat and he is handled so poorly. Overall us girl players don't get great luck with romance choices in the mass effect games at all compaired to male players.
In ME1 - 3 theres Garrus and Kaidan only as long term becausw Jacob cheats and Thane dies.
Now in Andromeda our only romance that even gets a sex scene is Jaal an alien.
Please do not forget your female players bioware, we need love to.
I agree this comment. And i want to believe what in the next update you will adding improvement romantic options for all "LI", for Sara Ryder
Thank you.:3
I felt that both male and female LI's suffered from bad writing and fell short of the amazing romance that was Tali'Zorah minus ME3 where she practically ignores you on the Normandy to casually flirt with Garrus due to their predestined romance if she isn't chosen as a LI. Which really should have been removed once she is in fact chosen to be your LI really. It was the first time i have felt jealousy in a game lol.
I think in general the writing in Andromeda seemed to miss the mark, in both the story plot and character interactions.
On the romances: it works like in the first three games: you can tell that some romances are more worked on and seem to have more impact than others. In the first games it was basically Liara, you could tell that was the romance they wanted you to choose, and in this one it's Peebee, Cora and maybe Jaal. At least it's three instead of one. The others feel like secondary options just like in the original games.
I disagree with that opinion on the romances as Tali'zorah was the best romance in my opinion and Liara just felt like a "big sis" or "close friend" type character who then was out of the relationship running in the game (ME2) that was most focused on character relationships.
I would say you can tell certain characters are just used as side options due to their looks as in graphical comparison. For example compare Cora to Suvi or Jaal to Avela.
As a straight black guy these options don't effect me but these can clearly be seen as side characters not of equal importance. We never had this issue with the old ME games, only the writing of the characters was the lacking part. Trynor didn't look graphically worse than Miranda, Tali or Liara. She was clearly a side character and new addition but it wasn't so blatant as what can be found in this game.
The romances in this game for me are just lacking in appeal as none of them really attract me with either looks or character writing.

In my country, women are now the majority of gamers, although I know not that many. That would make sense.
Regarding that subject, I was sort of not really interested into relationships in the game. My interest upon these things revolves upon how well written and developed and presented they were. So far, MEA presents everything in a shallow way, sometimes you just bumping into a new alien race and flirting straight away. I think in the rush to present some more options, still not enough for general public it seems, they picked some characters that really wouldn't provide depths into a motivational and interesting romance.
Really, there can be the one-night only bang ones, but some must plant the interested and tend to it in the long run in a passionate way. Which is, as far as I can tell, lacking.
