Will there be clothing items or accessories that we'll be able to wear over flight suits and armors? Dusters, cloaks, scarves, capes?

JHe: Probably not, to give you the short [answer]. Over armor. We can create items that allow that look. It just gets incredibly complicated to take an asset and put it over all the other stuff. A lot of the cloth tech you're talking about, yes, we could do it. It would be very complicated. The sim would be very intense. It would be a very intense look, and I don't think it would actually look like what people think it would look like.

Everybody thinks it looks like the Desert Nomad. But that's a very crafted...

JHe: Custom look. So we can create all kinds of stuff that's like the Nomad, that's like the Legacy Light Outlaw, that have that kind of look. Yeah, we can make that and that's not a problem. But as far as creating and saying, hey, I want to put this jacket on, then I want to put my armor on, and then I want to put my duster back on, that creates a million different types of permutations of: oh, I had different arms on this time, I had a different chest piece on this time, I have a different helmet on this time, I have different legs on, because all that's going to be interacting with that duster, for example. So to be able to do all those combinations is just a lot of setup work and asset work. And we can really get that same look much easier by just saying, you want a duster? Cool, here's a duster. Right now we have core, arms, legs, head. What if we give you a core that also includes the arms and it is a duster? So we can get you the exact same look and it's going to have the more curated, crafted look like you're talking about, but it's going to alleviate all our asset concerns, all our extra concerns, and at the end it'll look better.

But there may be specific armor sets or types that come with cloaks or armors baked in.

JHe: And it's not impossible for us to add components to an armor. So let's say something that's more straight up would be any of the Odyssey stuff or, I think it's the Pioneer, which would be the Explorer armor. That's kind of just a standard spacefaring armor. We could do a component that has a cape. We'll just make a cape, and it can be something you can put on that, and then there'll be an attachment that goes on that. That kind of stuff we can easily do, and that's more of something as we progress further into the character customization, which is not just the initial layer, but also the components inside of those layers. More accessories.
