I wish there was a "Generic Armor" checkbox in the client options.

Yeah, I pretty much agree that the outfits are kind of out of control. And this thread has made it clear that said outfit's staunchest supporters are too. You made a valid request, and everyone defending their Bioware-given right to be stripperiffic has been borderline hostile. You can make whatever choice you want, and I certainly have no power or right to say you can't wear what you want in game, but if you're going to put this guy down as a prude or attempt some sort of sjw guilt trip, then maybe you realize what you're up to is a little an the weird side. Just saying.

I'd say that you perhaps may want to learn to use Google.

On the subject of low poly count models, they're low for performance reasons on lower end systems I would hazard a guess at. Equally you're assuming that the server > client communication in a heavily modified Hero Engine is "good enough" to start automatically filtering costumes. You're automatically assuming that the work will be done purely client side and that the server side isn't having to do extra work in the process (fetch / call from a database etc).

You literally have no idea how it will impact gameplay by adding additional features, or how many systems BioWare may need to alter, and how many bugs may be introduced in that process. None of us do, we can make educated guesses, but ultimately unless you have in-depth hands on knowledge of the modified version of the Hero engine that BioWare is using it's pretty much just that, guessing.

Purely for aesthetic / morality / personal preferences, that's a lot of work for BioWare to do with absolutely zero return for that effort.

Request away, by all means. However this isn't the forum for that, it should be in the suggestion forum.

Valid or not, it was not the request that caused all the ire in this thread. It is the insulting nature of the posts and arrogant presumptuous attitude of the OP. Keep the request, leave out the insults and attitude, and people would not have responded as they did.

Fair point, I read this post this morning when it had two pages and he was clearly the victim. I posted without reading the other 10 or so pages, and lord I wish I had. I stand by my opinion on the matter, but this has just devolved into a mudslinging contest between two parties that care FAR too much about pixel breasts.

But we're not arguing with his opinion about skimpiness.

We're arguing he's a douchebag.

Because he is.

.if the launcher didn't overwrite my modified files every time I launched it...

A decent point made by a douchebag is still a decent point. OP, I agree with your base argument, the striptastic stuff made available in game has gone to far, but you too have gone too far with your choice remarks. 'Yall have devolved what could have been an actual, intelligent discussion into something nasty.
