There’s an undeniable devotion to fashion among RPG players and there’s only one thing that brings me bliss more than a fit I had to grind for: equipping a new piece of gear while standing over an enemy I killed (or stole from) to get it.
Wearing my enemies’ clothes is one of the most satisfying acts of defiance in a roleplaying game. I’ve killed for the sake of fashion in Dark Souls and Monster Hunter and the like, but my real vice is a Bethesda RPG that will hand out the most premium looks to story-critical characters and dare me to make them my own.
It’s not uncommon for an RPG to let me wear the trappings of my kills in the form of wolf helms and scaly armour, but the greatest glee is in stepping into the tailored look of a faction-leading character who totally deserved my wrath.
My favourite thread heist of all time was against Benny, the checksuited fella who puts a bullet in your character’s head in the opening of Fallout: New Vegas.
As part of the main quest, I’m encouraged to track Benny down at his Tops Casino on the Vegas Strip to steal a mysterious platinum poker chip and serve a side dish of turnabout fair play if I choose. But simply killing him amidst his “ring-a-ding”ing goons was not ice-cold enough for my tastes.
