I'm also loving the game more than any other MMO. I really don't get where all the hate is coming from, but then again maybe I'm just different from other people. If I try a game (and I have tried many MMOs) and I don't like it, I quit. Never once has it ever occurred to me to go troll a game's messageboard just to tell everyone that I hate it. I decided to join this forum because I like the game...
I would also like the hood/mask thing back. And I wish there was more character customization. I mean, no height slider? What is that?? In most MMOs now I think it's just standard that you at least be able to adjust your height. Character customization has always been a weak point for Bioware, I guess, but I had assumed that when making an MMO where being able to express yourself through your toon's appearance is one of the most important aspects of the game, they would step it up a little.
