This is pure poetry. Brought a very literal tear to my eye.
Now that I can breathe again, yes absolutely this should 110% be standard QoL for next-gen RPGs. Hopefully.
I finished The Outer Worlds looking like a psycho in mismatched mascot hats and boots, rapid-switching in my inventory depending on the skill buff I needed for each dialogue check.
World of Warcraft had the transmogrification system that did this. They introduced it a few years into the game and it was great. No longer looking like a clown while playing your character really helps with immersion.
There’s a penny arcade comic that makes a good argument. About printing out your character as a figure or something they have/had. Heck I wonder if it that was part of the reason, unsure if it’s still offered.
I always enjoyed the bit of making my character looked like how I preferred though it wouldn’t detract me overly if I wanted to play. I play sometimes but not often.
Yeah, never could get into SWAT, it greatly increases the skill gap, so people who play it all the time can just headshot you before you have a chance. The most fun modes were always the chaotic ones with hammers and rockets involved. Oddball and CTF come to mind.
Yeah, that’s the same issue we have too lol. I’m a sucker for basic team slayer though. CTF is a lot of fun too though. Some of my most memorable matches came from that
I didnt experience this with Johnny’s outfit, the wardrobe menu definitely let me overwrite my appearance with his stuff while wearing whatever random crap underneath for the stats.
His items are only marked as quest items until you have them all. Then you can stick them in the stash.
Also the wardrobe populates from any item you have acquired, not just the ones in the stash. I know this because I always go buy a bunch of street clothes in watson before talking to Jackie. I don’t stick them in the stash. I just buy them and disassemble them and use the parts for upgrades.
They don’t have the iconic background in the wardrobe. That also confused me the first time I went looking to make his outfit. You’ll have to either remember the icon of each item or hover over them to see the names.
If you want to be optimal you should be looking out for the Green Gear (Witcher Sets). They are all obscenely broken compared to other gear, to the point where they invalidate almost every unique item in the game. It’s one of the things I hate about the game. For the most part, gear is just a matter of picking the Witcher set that matches your build and play style.
There is a unique Steel Sword you can get at the end of Hearts of Stone depending on your choices that is actually quite good due to its unique ability. Definitely good enough to use for all of Blood and Wine. You can also get a unique Silver Sword in B&W that is very good, though it’s a quest reward that can take a while.
New Moon trousers are not bad, and the Nilfgaardian Guardsman Gauntlets are actually insane gloves, so look out for those. You should still use Witcher gear for the other two armour pieces though, for the set bonus.
This game is balanced around the Witcher Gear I believe, so there’s that. But I do enjoy playing without it for a more aesthetically intricate experience.
I pretty much only play it one way every time… When I’m high enough level, I get Griffin Witcher gear, and when I’m high enough for Feline Witcher gear I stay with it through the base game and both expansions. I did go Bear once and it was okay but never felt as good as a set.

Thanks foe sharing! Peak has been a blast to play with friends lately. We’ve finished it a couple of times now, believe we are on ascent 5. We’re now trying to get all of the achievements too 😅
