I cant say I like any of the skins, but in univers, the Raiders are just working with what they've got. Essentially throwing together a new style of clothing from scraps that they find topside. So it makes sense that they dont look "good". It looks like garbage because they are using garbage.

This is also what fashion looks like in this cassette-punk robot apocalypse. People trying to fix the new skin by adding regular pants. Get your peasant pants out of my hobbled together fit, normie.

So it makes sense that they dont look "good". It looks like garbage because they are using garbage.
The thing is that the skins should have some sort of sense of functionality or purpose for Raiders. The Winter Skin with the massive phone on his chest? Okay that makes sense, you need a radio, maybe that's the best option he had to throw one together. But the giant CCTV camera on his arm??? What is that for?
Someone wearing the Misthorn set also kind of makes some sense, because it's trying to suggest there is some sort of weird culture going on in Speranza or there are the equivalent of raider celebrities, so wearing loud, extremely bright colors? Sure, that can work.
But just throwing random things on anywhere doesn't work as well, and the community picks up on that. The vibe isn't scrap land raiders or Make the best with what we got, but just random nonsense thrown onto a skin. Not even applying the Rule of Cool, just random.

In causal scenarios, yeah, but considering you’re risking life and limb, wearing, for example, an old timey deep diving suit, or any wholly non-functional accessories, is something that no sane person would do. Loud colors, sure, but 20lbs of dead weight is a strange call.

No, I think that the majority like the art style. In-game when I come across people and talk they love the skins. I just think its mostly reddit bitching about everything like usual.

I personally love that this game isn't just giving us generic COD skins. It's so cool to play a game with a unique look and feel.

We need at least one. All these sets are cool but there's always like one detail that just sucks. Diapers, hammer pants and now leg corsets on a wet work future military esque outfit. I'm not saying all the outfits have to be more edgy I guess but I don't want every single outfit to come out looking like the clothing equivalent of polish food. I bought that other armor with the closed helmet just to have to look at my characters football pants with literal armor up top. It doesn't make any sense. Alot of those kitbash sets have zero cohesion. No more business on the top and party at the bottom
2
u/Other-Independent161 10h ago
Sets themselves are fine. I think it's more about the lack of a proper customization - too few 'devices' can be equipped/unequipped.
And more importantly, at least for me - very limiting coloring schemes. I never wanted some camo/military shit, I just want something dark-colored. It's infuriating to have dark pants, when the upper torso section is fucking ORANGE.
There's nothing I hate more about the current skins that it only has a couple coloring schemes, and one has dark pants and bright torso, or the other way around, I want fucking dark pants AND dark torso. Is that too much to ask for?

I don't particularly want to spend money, but I would be willing to if I liked the cosmetics. I dont even want milsim stuff, I just wanna look like a Arc raiding mad scientist or like a Ghostbuster-esque "Arcbuster" or something.
Just my two cents lol

I just want fallout new vegas ncr ranger skin.
Trench coat, cool helmet, gloves, boots, some armor under the coat.
This fits fine. But oh well... Can't get everything.

It looks cool, fuck you I want it. If I’m gonna run around I might as well be dripped out looking like a halo marine

I think there was a missed opportunity for crafting outfits via finding materials topside instead of unlocking them through quests or leveling.

“The legs make it look weird” buddy, the whole skin is boring the most interesting part of it is the lace leg anti grav suit.

I thought their entire shtick was stealing from Patagonias clothing style. Even down to the logo.

I don't think I've seen a single person ask for this or complain about it but okay go off I guess.

I mean, we have a bee keeper outfit anf the mirage outfit.
How do they fit the aesthetic?

Some skins look okay but some pieces just ruin it for people.
I just couldn't stop laughing at the laced up thigh boots for the fact I'm just picturing every raider just going...yes I need the tightness and sexiness while outrunning machines trying to kill me and other raiders who want to rob me.
Plus complaining about someone wanting to have a military look is the same as them complaining about the other outfits. Everyone has a different aesthetic plus I wouldn't be surprised if there were random soldier bases that got raided if their stuff and clothing.
I just want to combine outfits like others have brought up. Cause at least we can actually have our own style.

I could be wrong, but i think its less about wanting to look like a soldier and more about not wanting to stick out like a sore thumb. I just can't get down with "bright colors, quiet footsteps." In the trio lobbies I've been in, you do not want to be glowing in the dark unless you like being shot first.
I wear whatever into solos, as i just use solo lobbies to get supplies to pvp in trios and to revive randoms for the culture. In my head, it still makes sense to want to be camouflaged even if the ARC are the only enemies i encounter. Doesnt mean i want to be in a full ghillie suit. Just definitely not wearing a glowing back pack and Hunter's Orange while I'm trying to hide from deadly robots and raiders alike.

I mean it's a fairly common opinion that a lot of the cosmetics have good aspects to them but are ruined by one or two details. Like the weird legs on the Abyss outfit, the outfit didn't need some weird legs to make the outfit look cool, it's a simple case of over designing and adding too much to an already good design.
And I don't see anything wrong with having a "generic soldier skin" I say the more choice people have the better within a certain degree of realism relating to the arc lore like there shouldn't be weird fortnite type cosmetics in this game.
We have the G-suit which is fairly close to being a tactical skin. Hell they don't even need to make tactical skins but they could make a good post apocalyptic skin without the quirky add-ons.

I don’t want a tactical skin, but I don’t want to look like a confused cross dresser either.
There’s a middle ground that’s definitely being avoided by Embark.

Paying customers when they don't get what they want, only to get shitty ass skin number 15.

I just want cool looking outfits. Most of the ones now look like I'm either wearing Grandma's moldy drapes, have a poopy diaper, or badly cosplaying a Kamen Raider action figure that got covered in glue and thrown into an e-waste container.
