    Game Amp has published a review of Dungeons & Dragons Online that's divided into nice sections and starts with a commendable example of not splitting your infinitives. Here's an excerpt:

    Character Creation

    The character creation for DDO holds a good deal of options. There are plenty of appearance options to keep all but the most hardcore role playing crowd happy. From a wide range of hair, eye, and skin tones to multiple facial details (including scars and piercings) you run an extremely low risk of running into your long lost twin a few months after release. In fact the only appearance customization this game seems to be lacking is the ability to scale your character in height and weight. While DDO does offer all the standard races with the addition of Warforged and each race does have their own height differences it would still be nice to be able to scale your character.

    After you have designed your character you will also have the option of further customizing your character’s attributes, skills, spells, and feats. Turbine does offer a generic template for each class which, for less experienced D&D players, would most likely be a blessing. However, if you know exactly how you want to play your character you are given the option to further tweak him/her for their desired traits. The customization is very smooth and comprehensible and leaves you feeling a bit like rolling a character on paper, “If I only had like two more points in my Con”.

    Right. Scaling is good. I liked my 6'5'' tall paladin in ToEE. Now, don't ask why my paladin was 6'5'' tall...
