Open world RPGs need a standard feature whereby you can transfer your current clothing stats to any other equivalent piece of clothing in your inventory (lemmy.world)

I'm kinda sick of walking around Witcher 3's world looking like Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. I'm supposed to be a gruff and grizzled monster hunter, living in a filthy world and at the bottom of the social hierarchy, dishing out menacing threats in a monotone voice, yet I'm dressed in pristine baby blue prince pyjamas because they happen to be the strongest clothes I've come across so far. Let me cut & paste the stats from these Pierrot cumrags into a butcher's apron or something. And let me do it freely, with no in-game wank about having to visit a special magic tailor in the bumhole of nowhere, and with no restrictions on how often I can do it.

Fuckin' 17th century unsuccessful baroque composer lookin' ass. If someone came up to me dressed like my Witcher character, and challenged me to a fight to the death, I'd take the challenge because I know that no just universe or god would allow any harm to come to me from a person wearing that outfit. They could thrust an obsidian-tipped spear directly into my belly, and it'd harmlessly curve around me like a snake climbing a banana tree. The sacred blood of Christ would not allow for even a mild abrasion to befall me by the lace-gloved hand of a ballet theatre's chief bathroom attendant.

World of Warcraft had the transmogrification system that did this. They introduced it a few years into the game and it was great. No longer looking like a clown while playing your character really helps with immersion.

There's a penny arcade comic that makes a good argument. About printing out your character as a figure or something they have/had. Heck I wonder if it that was part of the reason, unsure if it's still offered.

I always enjoyed the bit of making my character looked like how I preferred though it wouldn't detract me overly if I wanted to play. I play sometimes but not often.
