We will be able to choose bodytype (YAY).

Found this Q&A. It looks like it's pretty old, so I didn't put it in news, but. My biggest squee moment came from this bit:

Eric Flannum –Lead Game Designer: We’re still finalizing details on character creation but you can expect to see a ton of physical options such as body type, height, and advanced facial customization.

Chunky nornbear girlie here I come!

Another fun bit is confirmation that Water Eles will have strong healing/support abilities (another yay).

Yeah this was one of my biggest annoyances with GW. All the characters were cardboard cutouts depending on class in terms of body type. Very excited for this kind of customization.

Yesssssss! I can't wait!

I like anything easy to my eye, a normal human, a cutesy charr, sylvari maybe if i can change the face to suit, norn, well they're all pretty much humans apart from a giant cat and a rodent.
