Upsetting thing after last AQ skin

Why the hell to they not just make it a whole quest toggle. I have the new outfit on on my account but whenever there is a world quest cut scene Aether reverts to his default outfit. Like why make skins if you won't actilually implement them in the whole gameplay. What's next? The next AQ cutscenes will default to OG outfit no matter what?

I believe Nod Krai was released in September while the skin was just released a few days ago. Technically (I think) that all cutscenes before the new skin was ”previous” to the current timeline when we actually got it. All quests, cutscenes, and otherwise will have the old skin. I will not sure when Snezhnaya comes though, I hope all cutscenes will have the new skin. But, your complaint is valid.

While this makes sense for those more completely rendered video cutscenes, it does feel particularly odd that even the in-engine “cutscenes” like conversations and such couldn’t just use whichever skin you have equipped.

Currently in the middle of starting up Varka’s Meeting Point quest, which, while technically accessible before the AQ’s finale*, definitively happens after it (since he goes back to the keep _after_ resolving the situation in Nod-Krai, and talks about that specifically here). So… why wouldn’t the Traveler be in the new outfit that they _just_ put on?

The only thing I can really think of is that it’s possible (and probably likely, tbh) that even these walk-up, limited animation scenes use different models than the playable ones, and they don’t have new versions of these ones for the skins yet…. for whatever reason… It still doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to release a skin for the Traveler without the other necessities in place though.

*A sidenote on this - I really wish these _weren’t_ available before finishing the AQ. I did a little bit of exploring last night bc I didn’t have the time to invest in the main quest, and had to keep running away from quests/dialogue that kept triggering, but were _definitely_ out of sequence. (Most interestingly, the game can’t seem to decide whether you know Illuga yet or not lol)

I think it is still make sense when main story is still using base-skin. It will eventually has cutscene that most likely only show Traveler with base skin. It is more immersive.

I think most of the story so far already has pre rendered cut scenes. Hopefully the future quest after this version, MC and the twin are in their new skins

People are making this a way bigger deal than it is. I'm pretty sure future patches will have the Traveler use their new outfit. Chill out, you'll survive not seeing the outfit in cutscenes a little while longer.
