Speaking of which...
There are some weird features like personalizing your room and surprisingly involved appearance customization.
I'd argue that your character's customization is incredibly limited, actually.
Male or female, but both can basically have one single look and apply just minor variations to (haircut, beard, etc).
As far as character generators go, I'd rank this more or less at the bottom of the category.
EDIT - And as you'll have a chance to experience yourself, there isn't much variety in what type of hero you can play, either.
"The Hunter" is a fairly rigid character with only a limited range of options in terms of what powers to specialize on (no, light and dark side don't play significantly differently, either).
