Similar to earlier iterations, Mass Effect Andromeda features a multi-layered character creation system. Using this system, you can easily create your desired character, provided that you know all about the different aspects of the character creation.

Mass Effect Andromeda Character Creation
Classless Character
In Mass Effect Andromeda, you’re no longer required to select a specific class e.g. Adept, Infiltrator, etc. in order to play the game. Unlike earlier iterations, Pathfinder Ryder has access to all the potential skills from the get-go.
Depending upon your playstyle, you can select the appropriate skills and start your journey. However, if during the course of your journey, you find your build to be underwhelming, you’re free to reset and reassign all the skills.
This is a pretty neat feature which you can use in order to mix things up on the go.
Skill Profiles
As mentioned earlier, you’re not required to choose a class in order to start your journey. You can, however, assign skills in a way that complement a specific playstyle also known as Mass Effect Andromeda Skill Profiles.
For instance, if you continue to invest in Biotic Abilities, you’ll unlock the Adept Skill Profile which offers bonuses for using Biotic Abilities. On the other hand, if you invest in Biotic Talents and Combat Abilities, you’ll unlock Vanguard Skill Profile.
NPC Customization
One of the coolest features of Mass Effect Andromeda is the ability to customize NPCs in the game. In addition to customizing the two Ryder twins, you should also be able to dictate the other sibling and Altec.

I expect a vast majority of players to spend hours and hours on the character customization and come up with their perfect characters.
