There I was, about to attend a funeral, equipped with the best gear the game had offered me yet: Neon pink booty shorts, a motorcycle helmet, a plastic-looking shirt and tie, and I don't remember what else. I looked like I was rejected from a Village People audition. That's when I decided to spec into the Crafting tree. I wanted to be able to use good gear and look good while doing it. So like 15 in-game hours later (it's really hard to tell due to dozens of crashes/reloads), I'm finally more or less set to craft whatever I like. I unfortunately discovered that even if you check every store in the game, you won't end up with all the clothing crafting recipes, and the shops don't tell you what you already have, so you have to menu back and forth to check. But I can sort of make what I want. But...
...I can't select the paint/texture/color that's applied any of this gear? V just creates the most generic-looking version of the gear that he crafts, over and over. Great. Perfect. I invested almost all of my points into this, and I can't even really customize it despite the game having a system for customization. Guns, clothing, etc. come in all sorts of patterns and colors, but the only way to use them is to pick them up as a drop? But they'll be worse than what I make, since I invested so many points into it. If V is a legendary crafter, is he incapable of using some paint or different color textiles? Why is this not an option?
It's not like I can play it right now because it's constantly crashing for me still, but it's just insanity: people choose the Crafting spec tree so they can kit out V however they want... and yet despite the game technically supporting this, they didn't put in any player-facing options to use these systems???
