Again, if you're reffering to how characters look (and you obviously do), yes, the moment it was possible to be implemented it was - yet it was still as irrelevant as before, because it had no impact on how you're characters behaves in the game world, or how game world perceives him/her.

To my knowledge, only few games ever have actually tried to connect (to a certain degree) your apperance/body type/body mass with how your character behaves in game (Exanima pops to mind).

You can just stop now, man. The fact that character creation is so prevalent in RPGs now means it's important, even if only for aesthetic purposes. People care about what their character looks like regardless of its impact on gameplay, just like people care about any artistic aspect of a game when it's mostly disconnected from gameplay itself. 

I don't have anything to stop about, mate.
Visual character creation might be very important to some people, yet it's completely irrelevant to RPGs as a genre in its core. If that's what's preventing someone from enjoying the game, then I'd suggest that maybe RPGs are not really what they should be playing in the first place.
