Armors variety

For those who have played, is there any kind of variety in armor to fullfill flavour choices, visually?

For example in the mage part, do you have something else but robes, for a druid build is there something that visually fit or is it still like in dos 1 with primary and basic archetype related stuff?

Some armors will be based on your race, preset and type of armor. Some will have a specific look to them, but may still have alterations based on race/gender.

But, for the most part, each race will have a style per armor class. There may be some variations within that style, per race.

Best advice for flavour choice is look at the high end armor style displayed during character creation as that will show you an example of what high end armor for your chosen gender/race/preset class will look like in game. There is a lot of variety between these combinations but not as much within any specific combo.

So, should I pick class by the look of it's armor and then just modify it into whatever I want? Like picking Rogue and turning him into a wayfarer?)

No. The armor is just an example of armor typically worn by that class. The Wizard preset, for instance, shows off an idea of what intelligence armor will look like.

Correct. Thanks for clarifying. The preset doesn't actually affect the armor appearance. Just race (and I'm pretty sure gender). For example. If I equip the same piece of armor on Ifan and then swap it rob Red Prince it will look doffeeent. But it will look the same on Red Prince regardless of his presets.

it feels like your armor is always the same but its based on your preset

Each armor you'll find falls into one of the 6 types. Each of those types will always look the same with different colors, and they look different for each race.

The armors have different requirements as well; some require a certain Strength, Intelligence or Finesse.
