True, but they are not allways similar to themselves ... It honestly pisses me off that Lae'zel wears slightly different armor in cinematic and in game. (Focus on shoulder parts)
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
I would expect that you will be able to. They allowed this in DOS II and Larian likes giving players choices. Don't see cinematics making a difference as characters in cinematics wear the armour you equip them with.
