The one thing I have always liked with all my fantasy games is that you could have a button or way to either have your helm/hat/crown visible or not. It is a nice feature to have since you did spend some time on your character's looks. Am I alone in wanting to have this option or do others agree with having this as well? Apologies if this has already been brought up already.

Edit note: Also a hood on/off toggle would be nice too for robes and/or cloaks.

I like when games allow a button for Helmet off outside of combat myself.

That way you can get the best of both worlds. I am sure they will add something, DoS2 had it, and if not someone will mod it in for sure.

It's a cosmetic feature that doesn't hurt anyone or affect the game in any way so yes.

Yes, please. I hate the look of most helmets.

I'd like this option too, and was surprised it isn't in the game already. The first helmet I picked up for my MC -- some leather thing with tassels on the back -- was hideous.

Ideally we would have three options: always shown, or shown except in dialogs, or always off.

I like always off, even if there is some cognitive dissonance in gaining AC and perks from helms that don't show up in-game. It makes it easier to always identify my party members. The look is consistent whether they're talking in cut scenes or out in the game world.

I have recommended this before but they should not only allow you to hide your helmets but also hide or change the look of any of your armors.


A lot of games do this in both single player and MMOs. You can choose how your armor appears and are not forced to change your look just because you got an upgrade.
Assassins Creed for example.

If anything they should go further. We should be allowed to recolor the armors in the game as well. Go to a dye shop and recolor those brown leathers black! Because why not!

I'd like a "hide helmet[hood, whatever]" option. I'd also like a ... show more jewelry option if that makes sense.

Glad I'm not the only one. Just wanted to highlight the last two since you both put up great examples that would be nice to have as well. I think both great suggestions to be considered and added. I am sure we are only getting the less flashy armors and cosmetics right now since it is still in development, but I hope they take your suggestions into consideration. I think it would be awesome to be able to have those options available.

Sorry didn't see your post until I posted. Totally down with that as well. I like to see as much detail as possible.

Definitely agree. I didn't spend 45 minutes in character creation to hide it all.

Glad to have found this post, I was searching of ages for the button to hide my helm and was wondering where hey hid the option.
I like the idea of hiding it outside of combat, maybe make it a toggle for each individual character as I like the circlet that Shadowheart wears and it looks nice in cinematics, but some of the other helmets not so much.

+1

I think it would be great to have a setting in the options to hide helmets in conversations and cut scenes. I don't mind my character walking around in a helmet in the world, or in fights. But when the cinematic starts it would be nice to see faces.

+1

I don't even think it deserves a debate.
I'm all for it but we all know it's coming. They always had the option in their past games, no reason to think this will be any different.

P.S.

This reminds me how much I dislike how most games of this type picture mantles and cloaks.
The often end up looking like a rectangular carpets glued to your back rather than a large piece of cloth wrapping around you.
I hope Larian will nail the aesthetic this time.

At the very least give us the same option we had in dos2. The rest is bonus

Agree 100% My ranger is tired of helmet hair..

Agree.

+1


Considering I spent like 10 minutes deciding what hairstyle to put on my character, having it hidden once you equip a helmet is pretty disappointing. The helmets are pretty buggy anyway, hair clips through quite often.

I agree. It should be standard in every CRPG.

Always include this option. It's standard in most games

+1

Sure, but aside for that what I meant is that it's already confirmed on its way.

Asking for it is just as useful as "Please, include Act 2 in the final release".

I hope the do include act 2 in the final release.

Agree

I want a toggle off helmet please ^^.

Helmet on for battle, off for everything else. I’d also suggest that ears should be made invisible when you’re wearing a helmet – even human ears seem to clip out through some of the helmets I’ve seen. It would be safe to assume even elves could tuck their ears into a helmet, would look so much better than having them piercing through leather and metal.

Mandatory. Anyone who doesn't want it can just not use it.

There is nothing worse in any RPG then spending 10,20,30-60 minutes in the character creator only to have in the first 10 minutes of the game you equip your first helm and can no longer see your characters face. If i games don't allow to toggle the helm on/off then there is no need to waist dev time and money on the character creator.

So yes we need a toggle in the final release. And if it can come to EA great

I'd be surprised if it isn't already here by the first big patch.
Hell, I was surprised it wasn't already included in the first alpha, actually.

As I said I'm not sure why people sound anxious about it. It will come for sure. Not even a guess, Swen stated it explicitly.

I made a thread, but nobody seemed interested in even leaving a single reply.

Please do let your voice be heard about this, because I think this game needs a transmog feature badly.

Bumping this thread.

Would love to see helms on/off as an option, yes

Agree. +1

totally agree, the helmets so far, and specially the circlets are ugly as hell to me so far

Yes please! +1

Agree. I hate the look of most helmets. If it had you remove the helmet for conversations the way Amalur does, that would be a good compromise.

I actually like helmets they provided, they look way better than in other games
Also there are diadems/head accesory and they look pretty ^^

But I agree for more jeverly - at least some necleses would be fun. You can see then in game as some characters have them even in their hands (BIG SHOSCK) so why not on the characters themselvs?

I would love the option to show my helmet only in combat or to toggle it off completely. I justify this thinking that in the place of my character I will put my helm on only during fights, showing my face when talking to people.

A helmet toggle would be awesome.

Totally agree; there should be helm/hood/cloak toggles.

+1

I think there is universal agreement on this.

Yeah. And it's a bit pointless too, since they already said it's coming.

I'd kinda prefer if it were per character. I'd like to turn off some helmets on some characters and leave on others. I can't remember which game had this feature.

But if I have to have all or nothing, then turn them all off.

I may replace some of them with jewellery once the GR2 importer is working (or I figure out how to use it correctly... delete as applicable, etc).

Helm toggle would probably be appreciated by a few people or at least a cosmetic adjust ment option but probably wont appear till post launch.

Agreed, +1.

This is a very old bump and I apologize for that, but I haven't played since 2020 and having played the game on launch now and seeing the option there makes me very happy. Thanks for listening to the feedback.

I read the messages in this discussion, and as I understand it, people want the function of turning on/off helmets in dialogs and so on, this function is already in the inventory if you visit an equipped helmet there will be a small icon on top there are 3 modes (always show, remove in dialogs, remove the display altogether) correct me if I do something I misunderstood.

Я почитал сообщения в данном обсуждении, и как я понял люди хотят функцию включения/выключения шлемов в диалогах и тд, эта функция уже есть в инвентаре если навестить на экипированый шлем сверху будет маленький значок там 3 режима( всегда показывать, убрать в диалогах, убрать вообще отображение) поправте меня если я что-то не так понял.

Um guys,

THEY HAVE THIS

Hover over your helm, and the checkbox appears above it.
Options = on all the time, off for cutscenes only, and off all the time.

You're welcome.

You necroed an old thread and now people are wasting their time reading it and responding to it.

for hte love of goodness people read the dates on teh thread before you respond.

Necro'ing to thank the devs for implementing a suggestion is cool? but why are peps replying without reading the most recent posts? is wild man, wild
Anyway, it's cool to see suggestions got implemented

Yes, it’s good this was implemented and was fair enough to say it, but I’m going to lock this thread now to avoid any further confusion.
