Starting a Characer

So, in my mind when it comes to choosing your character and how he looks i think you should be limited on where you start in the game, ex. aiel would be tall and have light hair and light eyes, kinda like Elder Scrolls on how people are different. So that just by looking at someone's appearance you can tell what part of the world they started out in. I do not think that you should choose your class when you start the game, maybe what you want your character to lean to, like a major attribute but not a class, original SWG style.
