So since I said I should, and im bored out of my mind here it is. My not-so-good transcripte of the pod cast. I only did the parts importantish to this thread and kinda skip past the reasons why they think the stuffs good or whatever. So all the stuff in qoutes is basically Mike Laidlaw.
"...but it goes a little deeper then that as well. Follower outfits arn't just you know a suit of armor an-and just some locked away thing. Through out the game its possible to find and buy upgrades to the follower armors. And what these produce are new effects on the armor that're-that're presistent through out the game. So being able to find, uhh y'know different kinds of padding, bein-able-to ALSO find, on occasion the ability to add runeslots 'to' the followers outfits. Meaning you can take them a step further and start using armor enchantments to further customize how they equip them selves. So this system hits a nice balance for me..."
Goes onto explain why he likes it being 'unique' look but allowing statistical customization, and the interviewer dudes being all 'yeah that makes sense'.
"....It's worth noting we're, I mean you know we're covering a 10 year history here. The followers Armor will progress on its own as well, like the follower will between periods of time or, as they progress they will actually grow stronger they'll-they'll kinda keep up. They're not gonna be in the same stuff they where waring at level 1. They'll do there own upgrades, kind of 'off line'. But everything you kind of slot in there or upgrade or, or purchase or find or whatever will all kind of persist all the way through. Um and like you said become kind of this legecy item."
Interviewer goes on to talking about weapons again, and how it reminds him of sten and his awesome RP sword which actually sucked horrible in game-stat wise and just wasn't useable unless you where crazy (though thats all my wording on it and I personally often used it but im a little crazy). Mike says to clarify...
"...yeah, yeah definitly-definitly in terms of there armor.. ehh, ehh weaponry I need to be quite clear. Weaponry can be changed out. Um, now its important to note for followers, that the followers will stick to the weapons that they prefer. Isabela is a duelist at heart, she was in Origins, she tought you how to be one. She-she y'know would teach you how to fight. Shes not exactly what you'd call a 'bow girl'. So she does have her prefrense for her daggers, but beyond that its up to you. A particular set you like... a particular set you've enchanted, that you think are particularly good - you can change them out. So you can change the models, the appearance that kind of thing from a weapons stand point. Outfit wise though this does hit exactly what your talking about is-is...Y'know, uhh Isabela in platemail would look rather strange, um knowing her she'd probably still look pretty sexy...."
And they go into explaining why they think its a good idea (and I pretty much agree with them entirely on that point). So yeah take it for what you will, would be nice to get a direct yes/no as to weather or not all companions armor upgrade directly in appearance but the way he says "...I mean you know we're covering a 10 year history here." and "They're not gonna be in the same stuff they where waring at level 1." makes me think graphically they all change at least once. So, well, heres hoping im right.
