RPG game developers should be warned that if they incorporate the suggestion given here-under, they are risking the destruction of *mental* productivity/efficiency of a whole generation of RPG players all over the world (because there is a high probability that people will prefer the game over their work). Proceed if you are willing to take the risk.
Here it goes:
It is good that larian gives a lot of options with the style and type of gameplay. I suggest that one ultimate armor and weapon must given in the game for every choice made. And that should very poweful. Powerful, beyond doubt, than every other wargear found in its class, and useful for the player's type.
Allow me to reason why it will be so good. When we kill the final daemon, the game finishes... no rewards... not much fun left after that! But when you overcome several obstructions to find something you know that will make your life easy (while you are in the game) is much more fun. Most games neglect it. They either put two 'most powerful' things (like the Dragon Armor and the Larian Armor) or none at all. Fable, The Lost Chapter sports a really big hammer that beats every opponents to leaky bag meat in no time. I know a friend who plays it for that hammer. Most games don't even have a nice hammer or a mace. It should be kept in mind that if one wants to become a spearman, he should benefit from his armor set. The spearman would love to find it. Ofcourse you would want to keep several other objects to help the player's type to reach the final gear.
What I am saying is, keep something like:
The White Hermit's set for a wanna be healer
Zandalor's set for a wanna be mage
Lady Nightwisper's set for an archer
Taryal's set for a soldier
Duna's set for an axe user
and stuff like that... I think you got the idea
Such gears give the feeling of "made for me" to the player. Do consider it.
