JennyFlynn Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I don't understand why they haven't yet allowed us to customize our companions when it's such a common thing for the classic story companions. Have they ever given any type of reason for denying us the chance to do so with the newer comps? As for the whole 'slave girl outfit' conversation.. I don't see the problem? I'm female and I have zero issues with the slave girl outfit. It reminds me of Leia in the movies, obviously, but it also reminds me of Arabic/harem styled fashion which is something I've always enjoyed. I tend to pair my slave girl bikini's with some 'puffy' pants instead to further achieve this look and I'm happy with it. I don't mind scantily clad pretty characters because I don't think it diminishes who they are. I don't think a woman's character and personality is diminished simply due to what she wears or doesn't wear. It's that exact type of thinking that emboldens the divide between men and women. If Conan the Barbarian runs around in a loin cloth he's bad *** but if a woman runs around in a slave girl bikini it somehow means she loses her value, then it suddenly means she's being objectified? The mere idea that someones choice of clothing is grounds for judging who they are is so archaic and asinine. As a proud, not stereo typically 'pretty', young and healthy woman I'd like the freedom to wear whatever I want to wear and not be ignorantly judged for it because at the end of the day whether I'm butt naked or dressed in 5 layers of clothing.. I'm still me. Lana, whether she's in a slave girl's outfit or in her thick layers of armor, is still Lana. She's still awesome, she's still a great character.

I would say this: "Barbarian dudes" look just as silly going out to adventure in a loincloth as female Jedi do in the dancer getups. The Leia "slave bikini" look has a context within the movie in which it makes sense. In a game, it makes sense in a certain sort of context as well. That context is not "fighting giant predators on Hoth". Context matters. Edited March 10, 2016 by Max_Killjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pants that don't look like butt-hugging skinny jeans or pajamajeans would be great... Also... how puffy? I feel the sudden need to introduce the Sith Empire to the stylish tyranny of Darth Hammer.

SteveTheCynic Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I've suggested before that all they have to do is flip the same switch on Lana and Senya and whoever that prevents guys from wearing "female clothing", which would allow them to still wear 95% of the gear out there And block them from wearing e.g. the definitively non-revealing outfit from the Social vendor on Coruscant. Very modest, and female only... And if you flipped the switch like that, people would dress them as men using men-only clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abataamala Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 A lot of cartel customizations for some companions such as T7 you can get of GTN, I admit this will not get you the range of options as the venders but at least give you a few options. I do fully support your request though about having a customization venter on neutral ground Thanks mate, I'll look into it. A quick fix would be if BW didn't make the appearances bound; goodness knows with 16 characters on Ebonhawk, I could likely find someone to go fetch a companion skin and throw it in the Legacy vault.

SteveTheCynic Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 It's the same with the new companions. Why is it that Lana gets s new outfit every time we see her on a new planet (I've seen at least 3 different outfits on her now), I count at least five. * Manaan * Rishi * Rishi (hologram talking to Kai Z) * Yavin IV * KotFE. It might even be six, but I don't remember what she was wearing on Ziost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Ziost outfit is basically the same as the outfit that was in Cartel Packs - I haven't checked the details to see if it's exactly the same or not.

The very same Social vendor sells a male-only suit. Dirt cheap, requires Social I. EDIT: and the notoriously non-collectionisable Basic Underwear items for females have a trunks-only male-only version that is just as non-collectionisable, I guess.

achuzanone Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 we prob wont get the option to sadly since all the comps who got a new model *lana,koth ect has there armor as a part of there model Wow, umm back to my original thought ... Do we know they are bound to the model? And if so I guess they could replace the model with one that can be dressed. I am kind of suspicious of Where Marr says it is a pity so many of them will have to die. which is another reason I am wondering if those companions may be going away at the end of KOTFE ?

IanArgent Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 There are a LOT of things that should be Legacy bound, as far as I'm concerned. Basically, if it's not: craftable, a reward for repeatable event completion, a reward for time-limited event completion, or requires a token obtained via event completion, it should be collectable. I could be convinced that open-world drops shouldn't be collectable, either, but I don't actually care one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediAkemi Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 The maintenance/patch thing ate my previous reply Long story short, I support the idea of a companion customization vendor on Odessan, as well as the ability to change the clothes on the new companions. I want to put Lana in her original outfit, not her KotFE potato sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Do we know they are bound to the model? Have you tried previewing armour on Lana? Try it some time with something reasonably "tight" and non-bulky. You won't like the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amonthor Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Costumisation vendor would be great. And also i would love to dress the new Comps with some clothes that fits how i think a Comp should look like. Lana, Koth, Senia would look nice in the way i would dress em up. There are so many Clothes i don't have a use for right now but don't wanna sell em cause they look so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Koth (ugh thanks for making me look up koth images blech) and the travesty they try to pass off as his armor in the latest pack (Exiled Revolutionary) you can see its not even remotely the same, the only reason his clothes look decent on him, is because they are part of his body.

I'm not a big fan of bikini-clad characters or companions. As a full-grown man with his own computer and stuff, I can usually find better ... inspiration ... than clunky cartoons in cropped, clipping costumes. I do, however, like my chick companions to dress like chicks. That means for Nadia, the Elegant Lougewear Top with the Formal Pants skirt (the one you can buy from the Social vendor on your Capital world). Feminine, yet classy. The Exquisite Dancer Top with the Kreia skirt is also a good look when properly dyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
