Project Runway has Nothing on SWTOR

Yes you too can look fashionable while running around on different planets and killing things.  One of the incredible things in this game is creating your character and this is done by the character's appearance.  You can have a different look to your characters by changing different things, such as hair styles, facial markings, skin color.  Who doesn't want to look their best.  I like to have my armor match my character's so called job.  Right now my friend says my female smuggler looks like a cheerleader.  Hmmm this might not be a bad thing.

When you start off though you are put in a basic outfit.  Here is my Jedi Knight, Raechal in her starting outfit.  Notice how bland it is.  Lots of brown.  It's not supposed to look good. It's just supposed to keep you from getting killed until you can get better armor.  I changed both her looks and her outfit so she's looking very different now then back then.  I wanted to show you what you might look like when you first start a character.

As you go through the game you'll pick up better armor.  Some of it will look good.  Some of it you'll look at it and think, "OMG I can't wear that."  Trust me you won't have to stay in ugly armor forever. You will get stuff from drops that will not only look good but will protect you better.

Whether stylish or not the better the armor the better protected you will be.  This means you won't be saying, "Oh crap I'm dead again" a whole lot.  It usually takes a very powerful boss to get my smuggler down.  Even though she might look like a cheerleader she has on some pretty kick ass armor.  

Stay tuned for more on the fashion aspect of SWTOR.  Next post will contain tips for getting you looking your best.
