In real life, I’m having a good day when my socks match and I don’t make people visibly wince when I appear in public with whatever ensemble I’ve pulled out of the closet. Fashion is not my forté; I’m more into functional, simple wear.
But in virtual life, I can’t stop obsessing about how my character looks. I am constantly lurking in wardrobe screens, seeing if I can come up with a new color or outfit combination that not only looks spectacular, but is “me” somehow. Generally, I tend to gravitate toward what most games call “medium” or “leather” gear when I get to choose. Something a bit more substantial than billowing robes but less bulky and imposing than plate armor. I want my character to look nimble, tough, and ready for a tussle.
What type of armor do you like to wear in MMOs, when given the choice? What game makes you the happiest with your outfit decisions?
