    Sorry but I would never want my banker looking like a French 6th Musketeer.

    And the town crier has the same vagabond look as ever.

    BTW that Banker looks like dooky to me

    What concerns me the most about the new "look" of the bankers, is that they have their bags packed, bedroll, etc. all loaded on their back.
    Oh, and this includes bankers in towns like Central Brittany....
    Where are they going ?

    Yeah, they look like well dressed vagabonds.

    I saw a fishmonger dressed all fancy in owls head. I used to sell fish at markets around my area and the fanciest clothing we got was a hat with a light built onto the bill

    Putting aside the fact that, yes, many of the NPCs do look rather... er... peculiar... what is an example of another game where we've been able to choose what NPCs look like? I'm confused by the premise of the thread.

    In UO you could customize your player run vendors the same way you.customize your own char. Right down to the hair and beard colour.

    You could even have them holding or wearing artifacts. Very good system on UO

    Gotcha, thanks. I never had a vendor in UO so remained aware of that. Has it ever been done again in games? I've not really come across it in loads and load of MMOs over the years...?

    I've never seen game play comparable to Uo until sota. Very dynamic.

    I am very much assuming here, but I fully expect that at some point - prior to Ep2 - we will get those same abilities that we had in a game that's approaching 20yrs old now.
    The vendor is ours and we alone should be tasked with dressing, sexing, etc..... ;)

    Like I said, I expect that they will give these options to us.
    When this will happen.... is anybody's guess.

    Maybe @Weins201 can get an answer for us......
