I have find out lately that i enjoy creating polls (
despite the fact that this forum isnt exactly friendly around that function) and read other people toughts ...
So here is another one!
I would like to know your thoughts about Transmogrification ... i hope i didnt left out any important option.
And you can choose from:
1) Option to recreate item as a whole.Basicaly this would mean that if you really like enchantment of any item, you can create different item with that enchantment that would suit you better.
2 Examples:
- If you really like
Sword of Justice ... but your character strictly uses Morningstar and Shield for w/e reason ... you would be able to change Sword of Justice into Morningstar.
- If you really like
Blazer of Benevolence but you wish to use Medium Amor with your Bard ... you could change it into Medium Amor.
Teoreticaly you should be able to change that armor into boots ... but i would rather not go that way, that is path to madness.
Yes, im aware that this would mean
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE amount of work and would cause
SEEEEEEEEEEEERIOUS problems with ballance ...
Aswell as im sure and aware that some of you would point this out anyway. And that this is kinda "beyond" therms of transmogrification ... but i wanted to include it anyway, just to see if this would actualy be someones prefference.
2) Just visuals, without restrictions.Basicaly regular transmogrification as we know it.
Except it would still allow us to *visualy* wield any item we would wish ...
2 Examples:
- If you really like
Sword of Justice ... but your character strictly uses Morningstar for w/e reason ... you would be able to change VISUALY Sword of Justice into Morningstar ... sadly no shield in this case tho, since your other hand is "actualy" still occupied with the sword, it just dont seem that way ... and yes, your Morningstar would still give 2d6Slashing damage, even tho its utterly nonsence.
- If you really like
Blazer of Benevolence but you wish to use Medium Amor with your Bard ... you could make it look like Medium Amor.
Yes i know it may be confusing that i used the exactly same example, but if you read thoroughly, i believe the difference is obvious.
3) Just visuals, with some restrictions.Basicaly regular transmogrification as we know it ... in fairly serius games, or as it was in WoW until recent changes.
Meaning basicaly just same type to same type ...
2H Weapon > 2H Weapon ...
1H Weapon > 1H Weapon ...
Heavy armor > Heavy armor ...
Medium armor > Medium armor ...
Clothing > Clothing
Etc.
//Edit:
Lets say you wish to transmog
Sword of Justice ...
But with this option its only model change ... so your Battleaxe (wielded in both hands) / Glaive / Greataxe / Greatclub / other Greatsword / Longsword (wielded in both hands) / Maul / Pike / Quarterstaff (wielded in both hands) / Spear / Pitchfork / Trident / Warhammer ... would still give 2d6 Slashing damage, as Greatsword normally do ... aswell as provide exactly the same weapon manouvers (or w/e Larian calls that weapon attacks) Greatsword do.

4) Just visuals, with strict restrictions.Basicaly regular transmogrification as we know it ... in more serius games, or exactly as it started in WoW all those years ago.
(Since WoW is many things, but certainly not "serious" game ... not anymore, and not in mine eyes at least.)Meaning exactly same type of item into another example of that exactly same type:
2H Swords > 2H Swords
2H Axes > 2H Axes
1H Maces > 1H Maces
Medium armor > Medium armor
Clothing > Clothing
Etc.
//Edit:
Lets say you wish to transmog
Sword of Justice ...
With this option it can take form of:
https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Greatswordhttps://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Greatsword++1 (wich is Sword of Justice default skin if im not wrong)
https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Everburn+Bladehttps://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Sussur+Greatsword (i have the feeling that this one is aswell just Greatsword +1 skin)
https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Githyanki+GreatswordBut no Battleaxe (wielded in both hands) / Glaive / Greataxe / Greatclub / Longsword (wielded in both hands) / Maul / Pike / Quarterstaff (wielded in both hands) / Spear / Pitchfork / Trident / Warhammer
Edit. //
5) Dont care.I wanted to include this option for people who have no strong opinion on the matter one way or the other ... but wanted to participiate.
6) I dont want to use Transmogrification at all.This option is i hope speaking for itself ...
Its for people who dont really care (as much as those abowe) but allready know that no matter the implementation, they will allways look like they are wearing what they are wearing, bcs that is the way they like it.
7) I dont want ANYBODY to use Transmogrification at all.And this option ...
Is something i quite honestly REALLY hope will get 0 votes, or that all votes here will be trolling and not meaned seriously ...
Bcs aswell as in many other cases, i believe that this particular mechanic is something you dont even notice exists, as long as you dont use it yourself.
---
And thats it from me for now.
Looking forward for both your wotes, and comentaries if you wish to explain your opinion futher.
Oh and for the record:
My vote is obviously 2.
I will probably never ever make my fullplate amor look like robe ... or my 2h sword like walking stick ... or vice versa.
But i kinda like that i could if i wish to.
