A lot of the character appearance options don't affect the description of the character during creation, it seems to vary from race to race which options will cease working.

Example: 

For Humans (female and male) all options seem to all work. 

For Elves (female and male) the hair length, eye color and height settings have no effect.

For female Demons skin color, hair length, hair color and height have no effect.

I'm 99% sure that I didn't have this issue during character creation in 0.3.2b.
