What happened to my face?

EDIT: I have determined that the cause of this was my use of the low graphics setting in addition to / in spite of everything else. After upping the graphics, all instances of this problem went away -- and I can see all of Fereldyn in its bloodstained glory.

------BEGIN ORIGINAL ANSWER------

I started up the game later today, tried again, and found the bug still in place. I later get a notice that DA:OUE has downloaded a 130 mB patch. I even later get another notice from steam about DA updating.

The end result is that after restarting Dragon Age for the 5th time or so, all traces of this bug have vanished. Male humans have bodies, and female humans aren't...special. I'm going to chalk this one up to a hiccup in the graphics code...

(I did verify the game files as was suggested by Xantec, above, but that action alone did not fix the graphics glitch)

Edit: Hm. It looks like my troubles may not be finished after all...

I think there's something wrong with one of the dwarves in that picture, but I just can't put my finger on it.
