As spying and hacking will be part of the game I would like to know if for example a spy (with a blown cover) or a citizen who made a huge mistake will be able to get a new identity? I could imagine that this means he/she needs to visit an identity-renewal institution, new face, hair, etc?asked by Circus
TL;DRChris Roberts says players will be able to change identity through plastic surgery, which will be expensive, with some off-the-grid places on outlaw planets where it can be done untracked.
So yes, absolutely we're gonna allow it that there's actually a whole kind of setup where you can go and get plastic surgery and change your appearance. It's actually the device that we use at the beginning of Squadron 42 to be sort of in-fiction, but allow the player to determine what they look like. The concept is that you're involved in an opening battle and you kind of heroically save the day, but you're really badly scared and injured, so you wake up in hospital and you have to give input on how you want your face reconstructed. So we're definitely going to allow that; we'll definitely have parts where you'll be able to - you know, it'll be expensive - but there'll be places where you can do that, and there definitely will be some places where you could do that "off the grid" so to speak. So you can do it and not be tracked, so if you wanted to change your identity and do all the rest, in sort of the outlaw planets, you could do that, and it will definitely not be a cheap thing to do. But I think it will be very cool.
