Suggestion: option to remove backpacks and hoods

[Mortus_VanDerHell]

Allright - lets us say like it is. The backpacks are an cool idea for level one characters, because they give them an unique look for each class. I have never seen an more stylish alchemist like the alchemist in Pathfinder Kingmaker. ...but...

If we are an Lord - why should our lordly fighter carry his backpack himself ? He got an whole army ! Can not an recruit do it for him ? And in combat - why he doesn't throw this thing into an adge, because it is in the way.

Please say what you thinking about it, so the developers know if I am the only, who wanted to have the ability to remove this feature if necessary.

Agree would defo like to see backpacks toggled

I agree. I know they wanted to add flavour to some classes, but I see plenty of people choosing a class that doesn't have a backpack solely because they'll be playing that character for the entire game and don't want something obnoxious sticking out.

There's at least one thread daily complaining about this. Hopefully they'll listen and add a way to turn off class outfits. Or at least make the outfits a wearable item you can change with one you like better.

Yup, my desire to play ranger died instantly when I saw the backpack.

Second this. The backpack is horrible.

Who cares about the hood7backpack on the ranger ;) Look at those boots! :D

Great game (if the bugs keep getting killed)

+1 for this. Bought the game last week, won't be touching it again until they add the option to remove/hide these atrocious, immersion-killing items.

You wanna tell me you don't feel immersed watching a warrior in full plate armor charging into battle with a backpack????

Real warriors charge into battle with a dwarf strapped to their forearm like a shield.

@Cutlass Jack:
Yeah, but only if this dwarf is very light and with no weight-full plate armour. You could call it a... shield. ^^

I think the searaider (part of the ranger class) is especially wrong with coat-boots, an green cape and an backpack. Why should an seaman where this things ?! O.o

I'd actually love to see the cloaks (in addition to the backpacks, hoods, hats, etc.) removed from the character classes too. I hate having that cloak on my rogue. Makes me feel like I'm playing a ranger (and makes me wish my ranger looked like my rogue).

What I don't get is why you don't just make these equipable items given at the start. Backpacks, for example, could go into the cloak slot and add 50 extra pounds to your weight limit or something. Could be used as the cheaper, early-game version of the bags of holding. Or maybe add some sort of resting bonus. Something that makes them worth actually having.

Same with the hoods/hat for certain classes. As equipable items, it gives people the option to keep them or not. You could easily offset the advantage over other classes by doing some similar (ie: Magus gets special bracers or boots or something).

Edit: Hell, you could make the backpacks bags of holding,

You have given me such a stupidly beautiful idea for an encounter in my next campaign!

I'm actually laughing out loud. People care that much about this nonsense to not play a class. I can't even type that without laughing.
