I would find it much more immersive if instead of making everyone super hot (all males ridiculously muscular and defined, all females absurdly curvy and fit) they made NPCs fill a wide range of body types. Ugly NPCs/Characters were a problem in Oblivion because they looked inhuman or unrealistic, not because they were ugly. An immersive world should contain a wide array of rather homely, misshapen, fat, diseased, and otherwise unattractive people, but they need to look real.
That being said, this is fantasy, and everyone wants to play a supermodel superwarrior, so the face/body editor should be easy to tweak to make attractive avatars.
