Cosmetics for better roleplay

[Sir Cosmo Wyrd]

I'm still just getting started but I've noticed much of the progression of the game provides you with a line of gear that seems exclusively military in nature. I feel like our character is kind of like a fish out of water, a civilian, but possibly once a scientist, a government agent, or a corporate fixer. For roleplay purposes I wished they leaned more into this for transmog or even gear that represented different life paths.

Whether the game brings to mind cover-ups or lab experiments gone wrong, or investigators getting in too deep, I just think the standard commando vibe soon as you're out an about breaks the immersion as much as the goofy stuff in the shop. Curious how mid and end game pan out, but I really hope they lean into this over time and reference the fashion tone from Control or Twin Peaks, Men in Black, etc. and any thing else that could help us play out the back story of our character after we spent any amount of time in their character creator.

For example, I wanted to make a couple of characters to bounce between, my own Mulder and Scully and perhaps reform a secret department of the FB! as my own Hive at some point. But lookin like a bunch of swat doesn't vibe right.

Is more immersion a good thing, or is this game at its best when its a looter? Is there a greater spread of in-game cosmetics to find that help with this down the line?

why not any achievements ingame?

If they'd have leaned into role-play it would have turned off a lot of people, namely people without serious social issues

I feel like it could still have a lot of potential with the clothes available. What I wish is that once you unlocked a blueprint or maybe crafted a gear piece, you could unlock a corresponding cosmetic item for the gear. Like... the first jeans in the game at like level 3-4 I loved but I was already crafting a new pair within an hour of getting them haha.

Like many other games with a paid cash shop for cosmetics most of the in-game designs are pretty bland and undesirable to push you to said shop. This is one of those games.
