I think it would be wonderful if we could make our companions look how WE want them to look.  I'm sure this has been suggested before, so sorry if this is a repeat.

Have a good one:)

No thanks. I mean, there are plenty of mods that do that, but I've never seen the point personally. How the character looks is an integral part of them. That's why I object on principle to mods like white!Isabela and shirt!Varric. If you don't find the look of the character appealing, then you don't have to romance them or even take them any place.

I agree with this. If the character's designs are completely fluid, what's the point of giving them a unique look in the first place? The entire reason you can't change their armor this time around is because they wanted the characters to have an iconic style.

That said I do occasionally download character mods, but I don't like ones that change appearances drastically. Usually if I download a mod at all it'll be to tweak one minor thing that bugs me rather than a redesign.

I'm not sure I even understand what the OP is asking about. Do you want a character creator screen like the Mirror of Transformation for each companion? Because that would be silly.

But there are already mods that change companions' hair and faces and that let us equip companions however we want.

I liked the idea of the companions choosing their own outfits, I would have liked to see more variations though, independant of my choosing still.

Hopefully we'll get some DLC for those unable to use mods.

You pretty much can if you really want to, with save editing and stuff.

[Torax]

I could see stuff like Companion clothes for DLC. Just with Dragon Age 2 that would basically just be a consoles thing. Even if they made a DLC version of outfits for companions. The PC users could just use a addon to generate access to them most likely. So have the consoles pay for what pc has for free already?

Indeed. My player character looks stupid 90% of the game since I am stat whoring, I don't want my party all wearing strange armour combinations aswell.

To be honest I wish you had an armour set similar to Mass Effect 2. Can change the colour, apply runes for stats, find upgrades in quests etc. Until you get the (ugly) champion armour, you tend to be wearing strange stuff.

[Torax]

I don't think the champion armor is ugly. Granted all of my hawkes wear the Mage Armor. The mage set is not changed from it's original for a reason. It's the armor that Hawke used to fight the Arishok in the original cinematic. So it's the same armor that Warriors and Rogues where.

Well in the addon I applied anyway.

My female rogue has a problem with the champion rogue armor, she's ginger haired and that armor clashes terribly.

[Apathy1989]

In the cinematic, hawk is a mage. Although a bizzare, stupid mage who fights with a staff rather than just set your target on fire from the offset.

[Torax]

How about the Mage set then? It has some red but it's not as prominent as the rogue.

Yeah but since the mage set also has metal parts and the right arm has full metal protecting it. I find it works for rogue and warrior. In partically for sword and board warrior if you are so inclindined. The only one that may look sort of weird is Archery Rogues pull the bow with their armored arm since it's the right arm.

But it has bird skull buttons! BIRD SKULLS, BOBAD.

I think that Hawke had all his sustained modes turned on and was out of mana potions, maybe?.

Indeed after slaying all kinds of huge and horrific monsters we adorn ourselves with darktown leftovers.

But orange and red?.
Better off dead.

Black haired Hawkes are the best Hawkes

We rock the red

Quoted for great truth. I just don't understand why so many people want every single aspect of the game world to be under their control.

[Eollodwyn]

A character's looks are part of who they are. I even like not being able to change their outfits. Being able to change them would make them...less, somehow. Getting to customize the PC is all I need.

Thing is, since we are given full control of the whole party, the whole party are our PCs. And I can't customize them all.
What if I want to have Isabela use a bow -because she's useless in Nightmare otherwise- or I want Carver to be my sword-and-board warrior? Why must I be forced to tag the terrorist abomination along if I want a healer? This are the problems a lack of customization brings. It gets in the way of enjoying the game.

  I like not changing their weapons and each one having their unique skill tree, but I 'm not going to make any case for that because I understand the gameplay issues it brings.  My post was really only in regards to cosmetic changes.  Like the "white Isabela" and "bearded Varric" mods.

[TheAwesomologist]

I would have liked a little more customization. I like their looks but when you buy one of those armor add-ons for them it should show up. Perhaps it just changed the color of a shoulder piece, or maybe it adds a set of bracers. I don't need Isabella to suddenly look like heavy leather armored rogue but I wouldn't mind if the purchases I made in game just added a little color or flair to her.

[Gorthaur X]

If they do decide to bring back character customization at some point, I hope they do it properly: that is, allow you to change the shape and colour of your character's equipment, like you could in NWN:HotU.

"Customization" in the vein of Origins, which basically meant your characters just looking like whatever the best mishmash of armor pieces you'd stumbled upon happened to look like, I'm glad to be rid of.

[UltiPup]

I don't want to be faced with the task of dressing my party members each day. They are all adults. They can decide if they want to put style over functionality.

This ^^ the amount of times in Origins i'd upgrade someones gear then have a convo with them and basically miss out the whole chat because i was too busy being horrified at what that new armour looked like
I like the fact that all those shiny armour drops are all mine! (and the hideous stuff i quickly pretend i didn't loot and vendor it)

[shumworld]

Its worth repeating. If they want to make the companions have original designs then fine, but atleast give the option to have them customizable open to us.
