#weapon customization

CONFESSION:

Going off on that weapon customization confession, I really wish Dragon Age took a few pointers from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s customization. In that game, you could change the appearence of any weapon and armour to whatever you want, without sacrificing stats. Let’s say armour A has great stats but an ugly look, while armour B has great looks but poorer stats. You could wear armour A, and the game lets you change armour A’s appearance to armour B if you wanted to. This goes for weapons as well. I don’t know why more RPGs don’t do this, because it’s such a simple system yet so genius.

We’re throwing around some new customization ideas. Coins of various sizes and metals have been added to pommels for ages. Here, our sharpener added a nickel to an old sword we had laying around. Do you customize your weapons? What customization options would you like to see going forward?

Tales of Grace's Weapon System

I really want to play Grace's but I no longer have a system. I cant play it :( I love the battle system for Grace's as well as the weapon and equipment in it. I love how you upgrade said equipment, too. I want something like that for future games but more in depth. Theres more special items that change the weapon and armor that are harder to find. Then maybe you can create those special items that change the weapons and armor but it's a grind making those weapons more special and unique. Then you have your regular weapons that you can combine with the same type to enhance it. You can do this with the unique as well but it will be an even bigger grind since you have to find another unique item or enough materials to create another unique item. I think that would be awesome. Then create more unique weapons and regular weapons for in game. I'd like that.

Tales of Destiny weapon system.

I wouldn't mind another Tales of Destiny weapons system, either. It looks like Tales of Arise could have weapons unique to its user. I could be wrong, of course. He pulls the sword out and maybe that'll be like his Dymlos? And maybe there will be weapons mods (like the Disc in Destiny). That would be cool too.

Is there any weapon system you would like to see again or a system you would like to see used but upgraded or changed a little bit?

Unpoplar opinion

I really liked Xillia's weapon and armor shop idea. The downside was how easy it was to level up the shops. Had they made it more rare to come across the items for shop upgrades along with weapon customization then I wouldve considered it the best in the series. There were so many different types of weapons and if they did it correctly to where upgrades changed elements rather than adding a lot of Power along with a chance to upgrade the individual weapons, it could've been a lot better. So many people complained but I liked the thought process behind it. Does anyone else feel this way? I feel we are more limited with their current weapon/armor setup. I wish we had more options to be honest but I can definitely see why they strayed away from Xillia's setup. It was flawed but it wasn't broken like so many people claimed. They should've made it more of a grind to where you had to put in extra hours to really advance your setup.

According to a post on the official Saints Row Facebook page, "As soon as you buy or unlock a new weapon in Saints Row IV, you can immediately change its appearance for no additional cost."

Pretty cool.  Gonna need that cache (pun intended) for upgrades and vehicle mods.

Hopefully the various weapon costumes won't be something you have to unlock, though I'd totally get it if they were.
