Orcs appearance changed?

[pompejusz]

In Shadow of Mordor that when an Orc went from Captain to Warchief their appearance changed? Disappointed they took this out , now Orcs always wear this same set of armor.
Is there any other ways to change appearance?

They change when they become Overlord it seems.

Level affects appearance too. It's most apparent when you have a level 60 captain with decoys. The real captain will be dressed far better than his followers.

No, the decoys are just always dressed ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ so you can tell them apart. The decoys are supposed to make you have to TRY to tell them apart, not be 100% perfect copies.

And it does not seem that orcs change appearance when they become Overlord, because I switch my guys in and out of that role now in order to get the Overlord to my level, and I see no differences in their appearance.
The gameplay video gave that impression, but it also gave quite a few impressions that were, sadly, incorrect - not necessarily because they actively wanted to deceive, but just because it was still in development while it was going on.

At any rate, all captains really got was extra armor to cover up their generally bare torsos/arms/legs. If they were already armored up, or otherwise covered, their appearance didn't change.
