While a character creator would be awesome and certainly a asset that would be welcome, my only concern is that it might have a very cookie cutter format and lack the customability necessary to create more nuanced characters or NPCs for total creative freedom. Animals and monsters for example.
So i would have a number of questions about the character creator
-will it allow for organic character building? (asymmetry, extra or missing limbs, deformed proportions etc)
-will it allow for the import of custom textures, clothes and animations?
-will it allow for multiple models for the same character entities?
(mutilated corpses for death animations for example)

If you where going that route why not just work with Make Human? http://www.makehuman.org at least its still powerful but its also free."
I think Lee\'s point is not just the modelling process but also the rigging and animation process can be quite agonising.
While i understand this point, the rigify stock rig in Blender does go a long way to bringing down the barrier to entry a great deal. Anyway the information to make characters from scratch should be available to those that feel up to the task (IMHO).
