Let us choose our outfits

[TormDM]

Please let us choose our outfits. There are so many of them and for the most part we are locked to 2-3 DLC outfits + the robe thingi of Paititi. Even in GN+ we are tied to this limitation.

What's the point of adding cool/funny outfits when you can't use them for the most part of the game?

The outfit change out is there to unlock parts of the story and side missions. She will unpack her weapons when required and there is a campsite close by at that point to change outfits/suits.

The game will also auto-change outfits when returning to Paititi.

I agree. Players should have freedom to change any outfit in Paititi rather than having restriction outfit.

I dunno, but they need to be forced to play other hands, so they can learn how to handle outfits in game.

[Thumper]

Thats the point, your not restricted. the outfit change apply's when needed. How you mix and match can sometimes change the outcome.

If you only tried to wear the custom outfits, how far do you think you will get? Only in Paititi are the proper outfits required.

It is not only in Paititi. In adjecent zones like Cenobe (and others) you are also limited to the outfits. You can wear the craftable ones but you cannot wear the other outfits (like Lara 2013/Survivor etc.). And those zones incl. Paititi as the biggest zone in the game makes a pretty much significant part of the game where you are limited to a few certain outfits.

I get it, that I need certain outfits to talk to people, but why can't they just let it up to the player to change outfits on his own when he want's to speak with the locals?

[Thumper]

I understand what your saying. So let's consider this, in Paititi you are there as a guest. You can't hurt any of the people there and your required to more or less blend in. Granted you can't always change out what she can wear is a part of the challange to complete what part of the mission you are doing at that time. Oh, others have also said they had issue's with the restricted outfits, yet no one said anything about the weapon you can n can not use. Beside's most of those other outfits do nothing. I hope this helps.

I don't know if you can wear what you want when you finish the game and return to free-roam where you want. Maybe you can tell me if you decide to do that rather then start a NG+ game.

I rather play ng+ because I do like the story, the cut scenes and you can choose to push the story or instead spending some time to explore.

It would be better if we could freely choose our outfits and while in Paititi you can simply switch outfit when you want to speak with the locals in order to do side missions.

Unless this was patched recently, even when she gets her backpack out and retrieve her guns/gears, she remains in her blue dress and we have her stuff attached to it. Which forces you to either raid tombs and complete sequences in a dress, or covered in feathers if we go for the few available outfits or clothing. If we want to use any Adventurer (or the default tactical adventurer) outfit, we're screwed.

Which is ironic since one of the reason Eidos gave to the lack of tank top and short classic attire for Lara was because it was impractical... Yet they throw us into these silly attires for tomb raiding.

From a marketing perspective, it's also a drawback. They spent all this time marketing and seeling the season pass and the various amount of outfits only for us to be enable to wear them for 60% of the game. That's a bit of a killjoy.

Even after helping the villagers through tons of quests, even after saving the world, we're restricted.

Lara's.
That's to say the developers.

;);)

yes of course.. but yeah im with the thread starter, we should have the free will to choose outifts then being forced

[Thumper]

Your all missing the 4 enhanced skills (F1,F2,F3,F4) even if you can't change out what she wear's, those 4 enhanced skills will serve you better then all the other 67 skills or outfit change.

Try using them 1st, then give me a better reason other then outfits are eye candy and nothing more.

[TormDM]

To be honest, I don't care very much about some skill enhancement or stats on certain outfits. I just wear which style suits me the most.

And it is just annoying to be unable to wear what you want for most of the game.

[anal amy]

+1 we should be able to wear what we want like previous titles at least give us option to in ng+ playthrough. I remember in one of the promo videos lara was wearing her def clothes in paititi.

[TormDM]

The moment you enter Paititi until you reach San Huan you are locked to a very few outfits. This kills me....

[sling_shot]

I think some of the available sets look great. however, I admit that, without that restriction in place, I would have never picked those over the modern outfits.

devs must have known many would have felt that way, so they went for the stats gear anyway and soft-forced it on the player on top of that: "they won't want to walk around with a blue tarp or a stupid green halloween costume all the time, right? they'll have to pick the custom gear!"

what's even funnier is that for the only legit fights of the Paititi chapter and the first portion oil refinery (when you actually might need those stats boosts) you're stuck with the green serpent outfit or the default one. like, I don't even care, you can beat those parts no sweat anyway, but that shows you the attention to detail this game has. NOT ('= =)
