No arena? Ok, I can think of a few excuses
No hardcoe mode? Meh, I can always pretend I'm in harcore mode.
No character view in inventory? No changing hair and tattoos/paint/dirt?
Why should I even bother with character customization when I never see the front of them (unless I hold down a button)?
So basically, my character will always have the same face paint, dirt, and hair length throughout the in-game months/years? LAME
It seems so extremely simple to implement.
WHY?!
