Given the emphasis on charactization in , it stands to reason that players would want to make thier Tav stand out from the crowd with some incredibly glamorous armor. The vanilla version of the sprawling RPG is already stuffed with options to help stylize the party but those looking for an outfit that's both fashionable and functional often feel the need to turn to the community and request some assistance.
