Q: In what ways will the player be able to physically customize their Oblivion counterpart at character creation?

A: It's amazing, and mostly done through code that procedurally generates your face. You have sliders to change different parts of your character's face, and it works for every race. So you can age them, change their eyes, nose, mouth, cheekbones, chin, etc. And it's not just do you want this nose or this one, it's a whole range of possibilities as the face dynamically changes based on your input. Or, you can let the game randomly generate faces for you until you find one you like. We do set limits on what you can do to keep you, or the game, from creating anything grotesque that would keep your face from looking right when you're wearing, say, a helmet. You can also chose a hairstyle, its color, and how long your hair is.
