Well, I was poking around the community reception thread and noticed Mr. Laidlaw mentioning that this issue is currently being discussed and that the time is right for community feedback, so let's have it!

I happen to feel really strongly about our companions having their own looks. Sure it was kinda nice to be able to dress your party any way you wanted to in Origins, but I hated how everyone ended up looking the same. Of course, I'm a very highly visually oriented person and also highly attuned to costume so I'm naturally going to be biased toward unique looks, but I can't be the only one who liked the visually distinct costumes in DA2. That said, companions wearing the exact same outfit for an entire decade was also kind of silly.

What I'd like to see in DA3 is a compromise. Make companions' armor unique, but give us a selection of unique armors for each character and let us choose which one to equip. This could be done by keeping the same upgrade system that DA2 had, but having each upgrade alter the armor's appearance, or we could have sets of lootable armor that display differently on each character but have the same name and stats. I'd be willing to suspend disbelief for magical changing armor, I mean in Origins armor already magically adjusted to fit all 4 races and both genders, it isn't too much of a stretch. That way you could fiddle with armor all you wanted, but each character would still have a distinct design language. There might be a better way to implement this kind of compromise but I've only given it a few minutes of thought at this point.

What do you want to see? A complete rollback to Origins' system? Keep DA2's system? Some kind of third option, or do you not care at all?

I enjoyed the unique armor looks of Dragon Age 2, but it was impractical, Varric for instance was wearing what resembled a casual unbutton t-shirt, which never changed over 10 years.


If you looked that good would you change? You can only go down when you're on the top.
