Hello adventurer!
I see you've spent undue amounts of time carefully crafting your
appearance to match your particular vision of how you're supposed to
look. But now that you have been playing for a few hours, perhaps
you'd like to reconsider? Come, visit our surgeon/barber/magic mirror/whatever and - in a manner completely unexplained - transform
your entire look! It's fun, it's easy, and 9 times out of 10, nobody
in the game will even notice that - while you started as a 1.2meter
35kg purple-skinned balding waif - you've suddenly transformed into a
hulking 1.9m 97kg* orange-haired ogre with a comb-over.
So... please enter and take advantage of our magical cabinet of
personal transformation!
Do you:
a) Eagerly step into the room. Nobody should be stuck
with the same appearance for an entire game. In
fact, you'll probably re-visit the surgeon
repeatedly through the game.
b) Enter the room; I mean, sure, why not. You're not
really into body-modification, but a one-time
transformation might be fun.
c) Enter the room with some trepidation. You're fine
with what you look like, mostly, but maybe a few
tweaks here and there wouldn't go amiss.
d) Enter with nervous curiosity. It's not so much
that you're really interested in changing how you
look, but there's something about the mechanics of
it that appeal to you and you'd like to revisit
the experience for that reason.
e) Politely refuse. You put a lot of effort into your
current look, and any further tinkering would mess
with perfection.
f) Snort disdainfully as you walk by. Such pitiful
vanities are for lesser folk. Why, you barely put
any effort into your appearance when the quest first
started; why should you do so now?You look what you
look like; it's completely unimportant when compared
to the many exciting deeds that lay before you.
g) Stare confusedly at the petitioner. Customizing
your looks? Wait... was this like that thing at
the start of the game, where you pushed a button
marked "random" and your face briefly contorted
into its current ungainly form? Why would anyone
bother with that a second time?
So, while there is some variance, on the whole I trend towards
"e)Politely Refuse". It's not so much that I think my original efforts
were perfect, but if I bother with character customization, I usually
get in the general vicinity of what I intended, and am satisfied with
the (often very little) effort I put into the task. Going back and
doing it a second time doesn't really appeal to me.
But what about you? Do you enjoy getting a second chance to change
your character's in-game appearance, or does the whole thing feel like
a waste of time? Our researchers are excitedly awaiting your
responses!

This one, but I usually just go through each option sequentially and pick the one I like. Also, I'm pretty indecisive and will end up spending the next hour debating whether to use face style 2 or 3.
(Sorry if this isn't how you're supposed to respond, I'm using a usenet mirror)

I think I fit into category B. I will take the time to make my
character look the way I want him or her to but then I will never
touch the customization features again.
