I'm definitely in favor of it. I first encountered it in Asassins Creed: Odyssey and loved it immediately. It let me pick outfits and armor for roleplaying purposes rather than purely for stats. I hate how often in rpgs, the characters start off in cool, unique armor suited to their characters and then you have to trade it in for something less unique or that doesn't fit their character because it has better stats. I like Shadowheart's armor, it's super thematic and unique to her. I don't want to put her in generic armor that just happens to be better.
