BTW a remark to Lae'zel and her armor, from the lore. For me it is impossible to take the armor from her and give it to others, especially not Shadowheart (both hate each other, I think). I think Lae'zel would not allow it, so you had to kill her. People who kill possible companions because of armor ...? I would not want to be near such persons and I don't think most companions would. So Shadowheart get's Gith armor after the Gith fight, she looks good in it.
Understandable. That is, of course, your prerogative. However, after Lae'zel's Gith 'buddies' ignore their duty and attack you, I assume they would be dead to her (both metaphorically and literally) and she would have no issue having you wear THEIR stuff. After all, (and I can't remember the exact quote) she says basically that you are her 'thralls' and it is acceptable for you to do whatever you must to ensure that she lives, including telling you about the creche in the first place.
Anyway, this was a mechanical guide, not a lore/storytelling one. If it was a lore guide you could have her wear leather if you thought it serviced the story better.
