Your missing the point man lol...if Sten had a choice in the matter he would WOULD fight with Asala....everytime...because in reality you couldn't force him to abandon his entire cultures way of thinking just to make his stats better. This what I mean by forceing...from the perspective of free will...half the characters probably WOULD say "Pfft screw you man this is my lucky dagger...I made my first kill with this thing."
Leliana would also probably use Marjolaines Bow over whatever else you gave her because it was simply Marjolaines bow and we kow how obsessed she was with Marjolaine. Alistair would always want to fight with Duncan's Shield because it belonged to Duncan and would remind him of Duncan everytime he fought. Zeveran would probably fight with those Antivan Leather Boots all the time due to it reminding him of home so fondly. I mean really people use outdated things for many reasons...not everyone is "This is is statisticly better therefor I shall use this instead."...Many people hold things near and dear to them over simple statistics. By forceing them to not use these things are not letting them be themselves and forceing them to be whatever you wish them to be...YOu say I am being negative...I say you are denying these people the ability to use things they would probably use all the time if they were given free Will to do so.
For how attached you seem to be to these characters, you dont seem to know them very well.
Actually Sten, if your going by his culture and personality, would be more than happy to use another sword if you explained it with logic and reason. You need a certain tool to kill a dragon, and if that tool happens to be a sword thats not Asala, well sten will use it. Now why his sword didnt have better stats to reflect his "comfort" with the sword is a different issue all together.
Lelia probably wouldnt touch Marjoleins bow if you didnt give it to her. She might have once worshiped her old mentor, but now she is a demon that has haunted her for most of her "new" life. That bow would be a reminder of that life which she cant seem to shake In a roleplaying perspective you would have to give her a reason to use it, probably by saying there is a lesson in it.
Zevran might prefer those lovely boots alright, but if for some reason they impede his ability to assassinate, or he finds boots that are more comfortable, he would use them. He is a proper assassin you know. Just because he doesnt where them, doesnt mean he cant hold on to them for those times he isnt out killing people.
Allisair would indeed love Duncans shield. But really if Allistair had a choice, would he not bury that shield with duncan? Or make a shrine? Im not allistair, and neither are you, so we cant really be clear cut about that decision.
Im all for this new system of just one armor. Keeps them in class and in character, but the way your arguing for the characters isnt that solid.
Retour en haut
