Now, I don't reaaally care about losing our horni Daisy (Although I liked it), the new one is ok in terms of story etc.
What I really dislike however, is the aesthetic. I really vibed with the cozy, lofty dress. Made the character look like a god/goddess/celestial/whateveryouknowwhatimean, which I personally think was way better than random-paladin-npc2000 we now have. With all the customization and choices there are in the game, I am honestly a bit shocked that this wasn't one of them. I mean I give it another like month or so before there's a mod that gives them the old clothing back, but this is yet another "Larian, this should've been in the base game, in fact IT WAS ALREADY in the base game, you just took it out for no god damn reason" moment.
The following is more of a "Would be cool, but will never happen" :
Also an option to CHOOSE if you want the dream-lover or the guardian. This of course will never happen for 2 reasons, 1) It would clash with the new tadpole mechanic and story, which I can understand and 2) Game devs IN GENERAL are way too arrogant and stubborn to bring something back if already removed / remove something once its fully done, no matter how bad it is.
But in general, atleast an option to give them the old comfy clothes or atleast make us able to customize their outfit a bit, like "Fully armored paladin telling me they're here to protect me" is literally the lamest concept there is. I'd take overly touchy Daisy over "I can't be bothered to even give them a name because they're so generic, and the customization for them doesn't even matter because now they're just ... there. Standing, menacingly." any day of the week. (But in all reality I just want the clothes back, idc what they try to do, I just want them to not look like "Guard_NPC#330", I beg you (or any modder))
