I think it has something to do with Lara's tank tops being seen as "scantily clad", and so, for the sake of political correctness, she has to show effort in "respecting the culture of the natives", by either wearing Paititi-themed clothing, or have the hide of some exotic animal draped over her shoulders, which is a strange messasge to send out whilst trying to mantain the political-correctness facade.

Lara showing effort in covering her skin is a bit silly, since three quarters of the men in Paititi are just strutting around in nothing more than thongs or G-strings, and in some cases, even dental floss to cover their meaty carrots.

Yeah, exactly. It seems silly as usually in these tribes women and men are (like in game) half naked. Woman have wrinkled skin and soggy breasts and men are walking with their bits out. Tank top suddenly does not look so scary. I want my tank tops.

I think that is more of hide modern clothes than cover Lara´s skin, that is why you can't either wear modern weapons on Paititi.For example you can wear the Wraithskin outfit from Rise of the Romb Raider as it is composed of leather and skulls. And some of the allowed outfits reveal more skin than the forbiden ones

Also, Lara is hiding from Dominguez and his henchmen, so she's going to walk around in "costumes" that don't match the locals, etc.

I get what CondeDrako and Sam are saying, and initially I thought "Yeah, that makes sense, you refrain from wearing modern clothing to blend in, especially given the context of the situation, to avoid Dominguez and his henchmen from Trinity...

I'm not saying you guys are wrong, but there's something that doesn't quite add up...

... Which is that Lara makes little to no effort in covering her face (yeah apart from the Serpent Guard stint, but that was for a very specific situation).

Lara can change her fashion sense all she likes, but that pony-tail and those lovely rosy English cheeks are a clear giveaway, in an area where the natives whose skin tones range from mocha to bronze. One glance at her and you know she is in an outsider (what it is it, "ishiki"? lol).

Arguing from the "immersion" angle, you can't convince me that nobody from the Trinity organization (who, by the way, are also in disguise) ever looked at this outsider and thought "Hmmm, I wonder if she is the enemy we've been looking for, or if she's like a college/university student travelling on her gap year? I hear Paititi attracts a lot tourists this time of year"

I mean, come on, a man native to China or Japan isn't going to think to himself that he's blended in with the people of Texas just because he's worn a cowboy hat.

This is like Superman masquerading as Clark Kent, only a lot worse. At least the Kryptonian made the effort in combing his hair and wearing a pair of Mr-Potato-Head spectacles when going to work at the Daily Planet.

This is exactly what bothers me. If the game prevented me from wearing clothes in Paititi for a short period of time, it would be perfectly acceptable. But you still have the wardrobe limitation until the very end of the game, which does not make any sense.

If we bring "immersion" to the topic, we should have the same limitation on other locations as well. Imagine you going to San Juan wearing the Serpent Guardian outfit. This would be very strange to see someone dressed like this running around the city.

It was a long time into the game before I was able to use most of the outfits at all. It's not just Paititi.

[Mike Hawthorne]

In Paititi you can only interact with some of the quest NPCs or enter certain areas when wearing the correct outfit. I've had to run back and forth between campfires to be able to talk to or enter the areas I needed to get to.

I would vote on this poll at the TRF - https://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=222348&page=35 - It will show EM that people want change.

Of all the outfit's she has 17 do nothing and 2 of those must be used in Paititi at one point or another for the story to progress.

And Paitit is a major part of the game. So that means players can't use most of the outfits that they paid for.

Yes you can. The one's thru the DLC's I change to when I get a new mission. Of the available one's when in Paitit, there are 6-7 you can select and use. The other 2 town's they are all up for grab's.

Now. throw in the other 2 piece suit's that you can mix n match and you have more combo's to add to that. Do the math and tell me that number and this topic dead end's.

No, this topic isn't dead.

Since you did shed some lite on this for me, then Ok, I'll let it go.

*snorts* I honestly do not understand the "argument" over the outfits, especially in Patiti.
I change outfits as soon as I've done the interaction with the local population.
The only time I feel the need to wear the required outfits is to the "required" missions, i.e., Upper Patiti.

Try wearing the classic Tomb Raider model outfits, the Leather Jacket, the Adventurer, or even the default outfit that is on the cover of the game in Paititi.

I stand corrected as I never wear those outfits.
I prefer the costumes, all of them to the standard and the older outfits.
I think & I don't do that too often that once you rescue the queen, you can wear those skins.

Yeah I'm hoping that one of the last 2 DLCs, lifts the Outfit Restrictions. For me, I like the default outfit for Lara. But that makes sense to lift the Outfit Restriction after saving the Queen, but based on the latest DLC, Trinity knew what Lara was doing all along. Meaning Lara was never truly hidden from Trinity.

Did they?
They knew she was following them since Cozumel, remember? Dominguez wanted proof that it was her and you hear Rourke speaking into the radio about Lara and the henchmen having her picture.
And then there was Anna.
