I wish there was a "style" menu type thing.
If you have played DC Universe Online, you know what I'm talking about. Basically gears have their own "style", a unique appearance. Once you wear that gear, that style is unlocked (it works with wearing bc its a MMO and there are tons of styles and gear pieces). But basically, now you have that style unlocked, lets say for gloves, now you can go into the style menu and just equip that style and lock it in and you can wear better gear that might not look as good or you don't like the appearance.
I don't know if equipping to get the "style" would be a better fit for a game like DOS, but it is something that can be done. Honestly this should be in every single RPG really.
