On the face, noted! I added the request to our ideas bin that we review every week. With the direction of costumes in general, Spah will be the better person to comment. But generally, because we are designing factions or Adventure Mode, a lot of the designs will be influenced by factions and cultures that we're trying to shape in game. It will of course still be steampunk and in a way our interpretation of it. As we design more NPCs, we may also have some more creative designs inspired by what we do with NPCs.
This is an awesome thread by the way, and I shall return! Thanks everyone, Howard
