As I said in the past about BG3, I'm ambivalent about transmog systems, because:
- on one hand they are useful tool to give the players option and to prevent their characters from looking like complete clown when in the end game they are dressed with the tackiest costumes and decorated of magical trinkets like christmas trees.
- ...on the other hand they break the illusion of consistency, where "what you see" isn't "what you get" anymore. It feels a bit like cheating. It makes picking your favorite equipment feel more fake and irrelevant.
in an ideal world, I'd have a game where I like all the costumes and design enough to not feel completelled to "trnasumtate" them with videogame trickery. But it's admittedly unlikely. Especially coming from Larian artists, who apparently couldn't make non-tacky outfits in their lives depended on it.
Anyway...
Absolutely YES for having weapon sheets, scabbards, quivers, etc permanently visible on the character (or at very least togglable). I despise "naked weapons magically floating glued to your back" with a fierce passion.
Maybe almost as much as giant pauldrons.
