Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Second outfit choice for classes

What would you all think of being given a second optional outfit for each class at the start of character customization? Would that be possible to do or too difficult to accomplish?

I'll do you one better: why not allow us to customise our starting equipement (within reason of course).

Custom our starting equipment according to DnD rules + main and secondary colors on amors would be my choice.

I'd just love to find some extra options for new outfits in the game, at merchants, as loot, whatever.

Also, I think it would be nice if a Githyanki had the option to start with Githyanki equipment, much like Laezel's armor.

The more outfits the better. ^_^

Personaly i would like to see 3 options ...
- One set styled by racial prefferences (and profficiencies)
- One set styled by class
- And one common, generic armor

And when i say "set" i just mean every part of armor ... its Great that Lae'zel have that beautifull Githyanki half plate ... but why cant she also have gloves and boots?
No stats, just visualy fiting ... O:)

I think custom starting set is great. It lets plan out your build from the beginning. For example, every 1 level warrior starts with a long sword, but what if i chose two weapon fighting style, why do i need a longsword then, let me have two short swords. Or, if hexblade gets added(fingers crossed), he gets medium armor proficiency, but every warlock now starts with light armor

I think we should just start with nothing but a tunic or similar item which we select a style (including racial styles) and maybe two colours for in character creation. We would then pick up our gear from a nearby chest in the first room so we can decide our starting equipment.

I dunno ...
Covenient chest with any and every possible equipment sound horribly unimersive.

It does but I was thinking of a compromise for the people who want to pick their starting gear. The mind flayers gathered everyone's equipment in a storage chest before throwing us in pods. The chest would only contain one of each of the basic weapons (shortbow, light crossbow, dagger, shortsword, longsword, two handed something) and one light and one medium armour, not some super loot chest. Throw a couple of dead bodies in the room to account for the extra items.

Not so much as mindflayers putting people in their ceremorphosis pods fully equipped and fully clothed. The immersive alternative would be for the mindflayers to strip all captives of their clothes and belongings and put all that stuff in a garbage bin.

In fairness, the cut scene shows people being teleported into the pods from the tentacle attacks. They still have their stuff.

It seems easiest to do it at character creation. Give the character x amount of gold and provide a creation store where equipment can be purchased. Maybe offer special selections for certain races, like Githyanki items for the Gith and Drow merchandise for the Drow, etc.

^ This! :3
Exactly this.

+ Lets not forget what are we talking about here ...
- For one, we have seen in cinematics that they dont bother striping their victims from even Plate Armor of Flaming Fist. Why would they bother with anything we can have on oureselves?
- For two, dont forget they are mind controlling race ... basicaly they have no need to strip anyone, if there would be such need they can easily make him step out, strip naked and crawl back in any time they want. So IF (and that alone is big IF) there should be some pile of unused arms and armors ... it should be in that room where they were Ceremophosing people. :P
- And finaly creating starting equipment would add "a little" more DnD feel once again, since starting gear is quite important thing for player to decide.
Also it would just feel better (call me crazy if you wish) if my Dwarf Paladin would have his own axe since the beginning ... he is that sentimental about it.
And actualy finaly im aware that game never ever mention how or where we were kidnapped and i think its good, bcs we can imagine any story we want like this ... and it would be much better, if our starting gear would support that story.

I mean i can hardly pretend that my Fighter was kidnapped during his aventurers if all i have on myself is shirt and pants, can i?

I would like to start with Hand Crossbows...

If nothing else, your chosen background should have some effect on your starting gear - a Criminal background should warrant your character having mostly black/gray attire, Noble should have some regal looking, satin laced clothes/armor, etc.
Would be nice, isn't a requisite. Gonna mod the game to hell and back anyways.
