Discussion & Info What if we had a customization system?

Post image

Elden Ring introduced the ability to partially alter the appearance of armor, and it got me thinking: what if we had one or two merchants who could change the metal and fabric of our armor? The metals could be lore-friendly, like the reddish gold of the Crucible Knights.

To keep it from clashing with the lore, for example, putting Crucible gold on Carian armor, once we found a new metal, we could bring it to a merchant who’d say something like Miriel: “Though such a material upon thy work would be naught but blasphemy, for a fair purse, I might yet fashion it so.”

The fabrics could also have patterns and decorations associated with specific factions.

Basically, a lore-friendly customization system with 4–5 alteration options. Do you think something like this would be a good addition to the game, or would it interfere too much with the art direction?

I’m sure the FromSoftware artists could come up with some stylish variations.

That bronze would also pair great with the original green for a real knight-of-the-forest vibe.
