Heya,
one of the things I like the most is the visual impact, the clothing styles in the game.
It's an awesome differentiator between let's say Pacifica and the City Center.
Playing with lots of pedestrians, it gives a totally different flair.
Of course that also makes it loads of fun to style your character.
Or at least it would, if we really had a choice about it.
Which we don't.
In order to survive at higher difficulties, it becomes critical to gear for stats, not for style. So now I walk the streets with a yellow bandana (ugh) , a rocker jacket (ugh) a netrunner shirt (not quite as ugh) pants that would fit into a 1970s KungFu movie (ugh) and chromed dancing boots that probably look good on a female character (male; ughx2). Oh, and my mantis-blade arms are so obviously artificial and I got nothing to cover it.
But I wanted to be corpo-militaristic, not punk!
Yeah right, so ... I want some control over my style without having to trade in performance.
Maybe a second set of equipment that doesn't affect stats, but controls optics (and doesn't factor into weight)
Thoughts, anybody?
