New Traveler skin does not show up in cutscenes, it’s still old one

It genuinely upsets me that even after finishing this long AQ and equipping the new skin, it’s still the old one skin in ALL of the cutscenes - new events, new Nod Krai world quests, everywhere.

Here in the video you see that Lumine approaches an event NPC wearing the new skin, but the cutscene shows her in the old one.

New skin is so pretty, please Hoyo, update it to actually correspond with our Traveler. What’s the point of having a skin that doesn’t show up in the cutscenes. Especially when cutscenes are the only time when many players actually see their Travelers.

Hoyo, please, update it!

It doesnt even sgow up in the new ones

aescepthicc2026-01-16 16:15

Yes, I wrote it in the post. The event one was the one I managed to record, but all of the new WQs also not updated

Rex_Lapis_2026-01-16 16:16

Maybe they fucked up somehow, but i need them to fix it for the future

Far_Apple_52062026-01-16 17:08

Earlier I went to unlock the Nicole Meeting Point on the new map and it kind of switched around really strangely. Like when Traveler and Paimon walked in it was the old outfit, then a bit later for a short scene the new one and then back to old again...

Doesnt feel like its working as intended everywhere.

ComposedOfStardust2026-01-16 19:26

I think this is because most cutscenes use a trial Traveler model instead of the one we actually have, which gets turned invisible. Some of the cutscenes in the Nicole meeting point quest are played in real time, i.e. with the actual Traveler model we use. Ofentimes I can see my Traveler's new C6 wrist effect floating in thin air, indicating where the 'true' model is placed, while another Traveler model participates in the cutscene

Solacen2026-01-17 02:16

I noticed that in the Master Thief quest lol. I could just see the firey wrist effect hovering in the background.

Mauve_Scarab2026-01-16 16:14

It's most likely that cutscenes like this use a "trial" Traveller in order to force them to appear and that this version just uses the default skin.

Lorellya2026-01-16 21:41

coding skill issue by hoeyo

rW0HgFyxoJhYka2026-01-17 02:08

Hoeya be like: "These guys might do these quests before AQ, might as well nOT show the new shit until next patch"

Dev B: "holy shit you juyst saved me a lot of time"

AsterJ2026-01-16 22:46

Well this is the NPC version of the traveler but there have been plenty of quests with NPC versions of playable characters wearing their new outfit, like Yelan's anecdote.

What I suspect happened is that the outfit is sort of a spoiler for the latest archon quest and you can do this event before doing that archon quest.

They will use the new outfit in quests that canonically take place after the archon quest. So probably everything in Sneznaya.

Anru_Kitakaze2026-01-16 22:52

>What I suspect happened is that the outfit is sort of a spoiler for the latest archon quest and you can do this event before doing that archon quest.

But how it can be a spoiler if you can't get it before you saw everything?

Drakengard2026-01-17 00:09

It's a spoiler because they don't want to show the skin before you get it. They preset what skin the character will use in the content for various scenes so anything prior to this point will not use it.

Same reason why you could have Jean in your lineup using her casual summer skin but she'll never wear that as an NPC entity. If they don't per-arrange the use of the new skin, it won't be used. But notice that Yelan has been in her new skin lately so clearly they can and likely will swap to updated skins where applicable where appropriate.

SmithBall2026-01-17 01:10

i think you missed the point. It will be impossible for the outfit to appear and spoil anyone, because anyone who has the outfit equipped has already progressed the story to its canonical appearance.

Though I get your point as well. It'd be a hassle to constantly switch between outfits for cutscenes, especially with summer skins. You'd have to create a system to differentiate playable outfits and cutscene outfits based on what the player wants for every character with a skin. This could easily be solved by just implementing a "gameplay outfit" and "cutscene outfits" toggle, but I doubt HYV wants to invest any time or resources into something as small as that

RoseIgnis2026-01-17 01:35

you just check which skin is equipped, and use that model and texture. Its not that complicated

SmithBall2026-01-17 01:38

this is the easiest "fix" but i addressed the problem with it in my original comment. People who use the Jean summer skin might not want their Jean to be in a beach dress and short shorts when she's in a cutscene, but still want to have it equipped for gameplay. Same with Barbara, or any skin for that matter.

RoseIgnis2026-01-17 01:57

make that check exclusive to the traveler, or add a toggle button. I'm an amateur comp sci dev, and I could write some crappy unity code that does exactly this in a day (testing included), and they have more experienced devs. Its really not a big ask, and there are so many different ways of doing it. If its done with a function, it can even be set for each dialogue sequence, so some AQ sequences don't use it, but event sections like above will display the new, objectively better skin.

SmithBall2026-01-17 02:02

i know it's a relatively simple procedure, but again, it's a matter of what hyv decides is important, and based on their track record it doesn't seem likely unfortunately, especially when we don't have something as simple as constellation toggle yet.

they *have* been focusing more on qol ever since fontaine, but I'd still hold my breath

RoseIgnis2026-01-17 02:06

This is the type of thing to get picked up, because it affects story (and isn't a skip button), and they care about story

Anru_Kitakaze2026-01-17 07:02

As a Senior Backend Developer, that's why you shouldn't rush new "features" in production. Because it's not allowed for user to ruin their atmosphere in cutscenes on purpose for multiple reasons

1. A lot of people will not even know about this option
2. A lot of people will complain that it ruined something for them because they didn't realize what button do
3. A lot of people will post screenshots which may negatively affect AD (I won't explain too much how, but OG Traveller's outfit is kinda recognizable, while new one is not)
4. Testing of future quests will require more time and money with new outfits (we won't get one for next 5 years tho), because now you need to make sure that all suits don't clip through textures just like the hand of the traveller and his bottom part of the suit in cutscene on the ship with Columbina (like... They couldn't fix it with one skin,which was made for that scene)

And so on

Only to address, discuss and solve those problems you need probably weeks of work and meetings. And only then some amateur dev could do it in a day. Development is not just coding, remember that.

And, btw, as possible solution for future quest I probably would like to discuss a new parameters for quest cutscenes: list of allowed skins to be used to keep atmosphere fine, and maybe optional parameter is this feature allowed at all for this quest.

Again, it must be discussed, it increases costs, and we need to spend A TON of time and money to back propagate this to old quests to make experience consistent

...

TL DR

Don't code in a day first thing came to your mind. But it's not unbreakable rule either. So as always "It depends..."

Anru_Kitakaze2026-01-17 06:45

Nonono

The one thing is that they use presets and not dynamic appearance. That's true and it's game design, ok.

The other thing is you call this a spoiler. If I *got* this skin, then it's impossible for this skin to be a spoiler for me, since I already did the quest to get it. See?

Therefore, it's not a spoiler

It's only because how the games is working, and it's a decision they made not only for development consistency, but also for story telling atmosphere, I think

But my point - it has nothing to do with spoilers

Cocoatrice2026-01-17 06:40

I am sure it's prerendered and the reason why new skin doesn't appear might be because it wasn't ready when the event was already finished. Like, imagine that different people made the skin and it wasn't yet finished, while other team made this quest, so they couldn't load non existing skin at that time.

andreyue2026-01-18 00:29

Nope, even on the new island which you visit chronologically after the archon quest there are still some cutscenes with the old skin

It's really inconsistent though like, Varka and Illuga's cutscenes use the old skin whereas there is a cutscene with Nicole that I was using the new one

Dylangillian2026-01-16 22:47

Thing is, OP was using Anemo traveler and so did the Traveler in the actual dialogue scene. If it were a Trial Traveler, they'd be Hydro/Pyro.

Hobnob912026-01-16 22:47

Yeah that's what i also think is the case. They probably did this because the game cannot spawn in a dead character.

So if your traveler is dead and the game forces the player traveler to spawn in, in a cutscene it probably plays the dying animation and after a second the character is then despawned. So to circumvent this they use a trial traveler that is always alive, which sadly uses the default outfit.

Should hoyo use that logic they probably don't have to completely rewrite the cutscene logic. They "just" need to add two if/then checks:

If "player:traveler" use outfit a then "trial:traveler" use outfit a.

If "player:traveler" not use outfit a then "trial:traveler" use outfit b.

Actual coders you may correct me.

Kpoofies2026-01-17 14:07

hey, at least you tried, buddy!

Howrus2026-01-17 02:15

> It's most likely that cutscenes like this use a "trial" Traveller in order to force them to appear and that this version just uses the default skin.

I was doing random NK world quest and in span of 5 minutes in 3 cutscenes I had Traveler in new outfit and two - in old one. Bits where you just see how Traveler talk to NPC, not parts where you control him.

Cocoatrice2026-01-17 06:38

I think it's prerendered, so Traveler wouldn't bump into any NPC or stelle. In the past, you could spawn geo constructs in the cutscene. I believe you can't do that anymore. And that's because it loads a prerendered scene.

Although I don't understand why they didn't make the new skin load here. Unless the skin was ready *after* they already finished the event quest. That might be it.

Costyn172026-01-16 16:20

Considering it's story locked, it will probably be the new default for future quests and events that chronologically should happen after this AQ.

They probably didn't add it to quests and events in this update to not spoil it for people who didn't had the time to do the AQ as soon as it was available.

Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo2026-01-16 16:30

The outfits were broadcasted on everything besides toasters, so it's probably less about spoiling the outfit and more about not making things immediately inconsistent. The Traveler can reasonably change back to their old fit, but can't teleport to the moon and back before they deal the AQ.

McSqueakers2026-01-16 17:27

people who see the ads and online posts or videos are a TINY minority of the playerbase.

m1ldh1gh2026-01-16 19:48

id love to see what data you’re using for this claim lmao

dasbtaewntawneta2026-01-16 21:53

it's probably not a "tiny" minority but people that engage with a game they plays social media presence will always be the minority of that games player base

m1ldh1gh2026-01-16 22:18

i mean, there’s a huge gap between an *affirmed* “TINY” minority, and an *assumed* minority if you’re thinking about players engaging with the game’s social media. but i wasnt even thinking about that tbh... it’s just that we’re in 2026 and there’s targeted ads, i highly doubt there’s a majority of players completely oblivious to genshin’s online presence outside of the actual game

KibbloMkII2026-01-16 23:06

can you go back to the moon again?

Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo2026-01-16 23:08

I don't think so. I meant that the new outfit is on the moon, which the Traveler wouldn't have access to unless they've done everything in the AQ first.

KibbloMkII2026-01-16 23:10

damn, I'd love to be able to go back to the moon, would be a nice hangout spot for columbina too

Howrus2026-01-17 02:16

> so it's probably less about spoiling the outfit and more about not making things immediately inconsistent.

Try to do this new NK world quest about three seals in Dreadmist Mire - your Traveler will randomly switch outfits between new and old in different scenes. :]

aescepthicc2026-01-16 16:41

I mean, they use the dynamic surroundings (idk how it's called officially, but it's when the surroundings are depicted accordingly to open world - like, lightning strikes, your character model getting swiped, or like in the latest example from this sub, chunks of meat sliding in the scene), but they can't do dynamic skin on MC. It's not animated cuts, they still use models from the game, just force camera angles and poses

aescepthicc2026-01-16 17:25

Even it the Selenic Chronicles III, which chronologically get unlocked only after we get Bina back and obtain the outfit, the old fit is here https://youtu.be/gA1sOMRQUug?si=oVgvxApVPL43NNhU

Costyn172026-01-16 17:35

I meant future quests from next update.

murmandamos2026-01-16 17:42

Was very glad the delayed me getting the wings for 6 weeks for immersion because Bina would be exiled soon in the quest (already stupid, like they blocked it off before you even start the quest lol). Only for after completion my Lumine changes outfits for the chronicle. Glad we did allat.

LiDragonLo2026-01-17 00:55

selenic chronicles 3-1 was in the last patch. I think the first 2 or 3 were available

aescepthicc2026-01-17 01:09

What are you smoking lmao, they were absolutely not available and locked. Moreover, SC 3-1 becomes available only after the latest AQ and contains spoilers to the finale of the latest AQ: (>!in the AQ Luonnotar reveals to be a part of Bina's soul that she left in Nod Krai while going backwards in time, and she gets absorbed back into Bina to make her reborn. In SC 3-1 Luonnotar gets recreated by Bina, but this time as her own being!<)

phonograhy2026-01-16 17:59

genuinely curious if it was possible to have coded the quests in this patch so that the version of the traveller you were using could be inserted, or if everything is a fixed pre-render (?)

Furicel2026-01-16 19:54

Some cutscenes seem to be fixed, while others seem to use your character.

I say that because there're some cutscenes that use my Geo Traveler, while other cutscenes render my traveler as the latest regional element (I noticed Hydro traveler a lot in Fontaine and Natlan, and now Pyro traveler in Nod Krai).

It I look at my traveler and it's not Geo, I assume it's because it's a pre-render

Warcrimes022026-01-17 20:17

the only thing that i think would be hard about showing the traveler's outfit based on player choice is pre rendered cutscenes. Though I think they can probably just replace the model their using while keeping the animations and it would turn out the same

tzuyuisababy2026-01-16 18:11

>to not spoil it for people who didn't had the time to do the AQ

the same company who puts the bosses in the livestream without fail and let you know columbina was missing before you even started the 4.2 archon quest by locking you out of selenic chronicles?

i agree they'll probably just use it in future though because of chronology but i don't think they care that much about spoiling patch content

caucassius2026-01-16 18:30

you can do most wqs without completing a single aq. it's over.

Dylangillian2026-01-16 22:48

The new Selenic chronicle canonically happens after the AQ and you still get forced into the default outfit though. You literally cannot access that without completing the latest AQ.

Kpoofies2026-01-17 14:10

Or they can just.. use the one I'm currently wearing? Tf you talking about "for people" in my single player game?

Zypharium2026-01-16 16:24

Yeah, that disappointed me too. I was so thrilled to have a skin for the Traveler, but it kills the immersion if the old one is shown.

quie_TLost572026-01-16 17:00

The skin shows up somewhere and somewhere it doesn't

BiggestOfBanz2026-01-16 16:29

Yet the Mem Hat stays on. Truly is a Romantic Story.

GateauBaker2026-01-16 16:48

To not kill the immersion when you are wearing an outfit during a quest you canonically don't have yet. I only expect the outfit to show up in later quests starting next patch or whenever we are supposed to get new world quests.

aescepthicc2026-01-16 17:18

First of all, why do you think we "canonically" don't have this outfit yet? For example, the events of AQ are the existence-threatening level of crisis, and Varka one of the main heroes that help to resolve it. When we come to Favonius meeting point, Varka is already coming back to Mondstadt because the AQ crisis is resolved. Yet the cutscenes still have Traveler in the old outfit. And Selenic Chronicles III happen after we get Columbina back after the AQ and visit the moon with her. And Traveler still wears old outfit in the cutscene https://youtu.be/gA1sOMRQUug?si=oVgvxApVPL43NNhU

Secondly, what about killing immersion of our Traveler switching outfits in a blink of an eye? This kills immersion quicker that anything.

moriz02026-01-16 18:28

Isn't it possible to trigger the meeting point cutscenes before completing the AQ?

Also, it is entirely possible to do all of the Selenic Chronicles after Luna IV, so the chronology of those aren't entirely set in stone either.

aescepthicc2026-01-16 21:59

It is actually set in stone because in Selenic Chronicles III the very first quest of that part involves Bina >!recreating Luonnotar, whom she "absorbed" at the end of AQ, but this time not as part of herself, but as her own being!<

Edit to add: actually, what does your point about completing all Selenic Chronicles after Luna IV mean? That traveler will wear old outfit despite already getting a new one? The fact is that it's getting equipped by default right after AQ - you as a player don't even have to go and change it yourself, the game treats is as a canon both in the story (on the Moon), and as a game that we play. But not in the rest of the cutscenes

iamonlyslightlysalty2026-01-16 22:17

yep, the chronology is:

Luna I -> Selenic Chronicles I -> Luna II - Selenic Chronicles II -> Luna III -> The Empty Courtyard -> Luna IV -> Selenic Chronicles III

you could also see Selenic II happening before Luna II but after Luna I and Selenic I, it doesn't change anything in terms of continuity. The defining factor is, as you said, Luonnotar's presence.

moriz02026-01-16 22:39

I mean that all the Selenic Chronicles I and II can be experienced at any point after Luna I, including after Luna IV. As such, the chronology of events aren't set in stone, since outside of the requirements to be about to begin them, the Chronicles don't have to be experienced in any specific way.

zooap632026-01-16 16:54

Ya i was pretty disappointed. Hopefully its the new outfit going forward

Bogzy2026-01-16 16:58

booo

Stealthless2026-01-16 17:01

Goofy Mem hat remains undefeated...

Gray_Tower2026-01-16 17:05

Oh yeah, the same thing happens in ZZZ. Basically every cutscene in post 2.0 areas defaults Belle/Wise to the Yunkui outfit. It's probably an immersion thing, since we're technically not supposed to be wearing something else on that moment.

Hakuboii2026-01-16 17:22

HSR on the other hand has mc wearing a goofy hat confronting a universe ending entity.

TheAhegaoFox2026-01-16 17:29

Fitting for my space comedy game

Fullpotentialk2026-01-17 04:33

Even on flashbacks prior to the events of Amphoreus.

Kpoofies2026-01-17 14:08

the only thing missing in HSR are laugh tracks, that's how serious the "universe ending" stuff is in that game

Squeakyclarinet2026-01-16 18:06

The annoying thing about that is it doesn’t even use your customized version of the outfit, but a default ‘story’ version. They both made a customizable outfit, but never let you see it in any cutscenes (even the one where you just stand around and talk).

Dylangillian2026-01-16 22:50

The new Selenic chronicle shows that's not the case though. It forces the default outfit but it literally only unlocks after the AQ and therefore would logically use the new outfit.

Kpoofies2026-01-17 14:10

\> It's probably an immersion thing, since we're technically not supposed to be wearing something else on that moment.

Yeah, let me just quickly go into a random ass wardrobe, remove my clothing, put my old one on, talk to the NPC, and then go back to the wardrobe, put the new clothing on after the cutscene

"immersion" lmfao

SpicyFox_x2026-01-16 17:13

We get to see aether tummy go longer yay

Rose_Ember2026-01-16 17:26

I did Nicole's meeting point quest and Traveler keeps on switching clothes when I start a new dialogue for me

clueless_shepard2026-01-16 17:40

Must be one of those pranks where the twins stealing each other’s outfit just before the cutscene to annoy them.

Paiguy72026-01-16 18:05

This is so dumb

ooppppppppies2026-01-16 19:23

Indie company

Silver-Kale59552026-01-16 19:27

Pre rendered stuff. You'll mostly see the skin in future quests.

InnocentPlug2026-01-16 19:56

They are not, most scenes are affected if your traveler is normally modded as they are dynamic"in-engine" scenes. What happens is much like how other characters when NPC's don't change into their outfits outside the specific event they have them, characters have a flag for which model to use. All these scenes default to the og traveler model. They could easily allow for either to be used, but either they're going to be stubborn about it or make sure there aren't any abnormalities before they do

SansStan2026-01-16 20:35

As someone who vastly prefers Aether's base design, no thank you

SilverGarnet122026-01-17 03:26

You’re not the only one. I’m going to be so sad if we permanently get stuck in the new outfit—I chose him as my Traveller because I liked the warm browns and golds of his design! It makes him look friendly.

Losing that for yet another blue colour scheme that also clashes with his warm-toned hair will be very unfortunate.

astarothanimations2026-01-16 20:40

The way the game isdesign all cutscenes are pre places assets that are set load and exectue upon start up, they are by no means dynamic, which is why you get things like people flying intk cutscenes and falling to death in the background cause the world is the same and the cuscene character isnt Your character.

So to have the outfit back fit into old cutscenes they would need back date every cutscene and create a seperate instance to involve the new outfit for EVERY CUTSCENE IN THE GAME (bloating game size and absolutly destorying the dev time with bloat.) or they have to integrart a system that have to check your skins and then load off the check, which is also dev time, might lead to loading issues, and other head ache with qa as every cuscene would need to be check for things like excessive clipping on all possible skin possibities, again eating limited dev time.

Given that we are 6 years into this demand and the staus the game is in, i imagine they just settle on the good enough and eat all complaints on the "muh immersion" front because it reallybisnt that big of a deal especially with hoe limited skin options are to begin with.

Siophecles2026-01-17 07:57

Why would using the Traveller's currently equipped skin cause any more issues than using the Traveller's current element?

Maximum_wack2026-01-16 21:11

I assume it'll show up in future quests like with Belle and Wise's outfits

Kraotop2026-01-16 21:31

Not surprising. This is the same reason we got dull blade on the Traveller in cutscenes for so long. The cutscene traveller is in fact not the one you own, it's a separate one that is temporarily spawned in (like a trial character). So in these older cutscenes the Traveller's appearance is actually fixed.

I hope they find a workaround soon.

iamonlyslightlysalty2026-01-16 22:22

Traveler still canonically has both outfits - I just see it as them not fully committing to wearing the new one regularly yet. They've stuck to their old outfit for adventuring and all that for five years now, it'd take me a long time to adjust too. Give it time, Hoyo pays a lot of attention to detail, they'll definitely account for this.

Morisummer_2026-01-16 22:43

That looks like some older quest in Fontaine. I wouldn't have even bother to expect it. Things like this tend to be this way

aescepthicc2026-01-17 00:42

It's literally a new event that started today

Morisummer_2026-01-17 01:00

Oh it kinda looked like Fontaine architecture I was smokin

aescepthicc2026-01-17 01:02

The event takes place in Fontaine, but it's the new event.

Morisummer_2026-01-17 01:05

Ffs. Alright

lostn2026-01-16 22:45

it's like that with all skins actually, unless they are supposed to be wearing their skin.

The devs want everyone to get the same scene and just can't assume everyone has the skin, especially if it's for the player character (traveler)

Kpoofies2026-01-17 14:11

Must be so tough for a little indie game company to check "does the player have this skin, then use that skin in the cutscene"

LarryKingthe42th2026-01-16 22:51

It showed up in the moon cutscene but looked broke while it was in engine. Maybe its just until they get a better version rigged..Aethers arms looked weird while sitting and talking to colmbina

zodiac84582026-01-16 22:58

Just because we have it doesn't mean we canonically wear it all the time. It's canon that we prefer our original outfit, we only picked up the new one to show off to Columbina and probably as a memento of sorts, but it makes sense canonically if we normally adventure in our original outfit

Kpoofies2026-01-17 14:13

I don't know where you're getting this information from, we "only" picked up the new one to show off columbina? I wear it all the time, that means to me, that it's canonically worn all the time. Are you telling me my character jumps into a wardrobe behind the scenes in every single NPC interaction just because "canonically" or something? please

RainbowStone482026-01-17 00:55

You guys need to learn more about timelines, just because its a new event doesnt mean it must take place after the latest archon quest.

aescepthicc2026-01-17 01:13

Have you tried reading the post? I specifically mentioned that it's in the new Nod Krai WQs.

I only managed to capture the video for the new event because with WQs you don't always know where the cutscene with Traveler will trigger, and I completed lots of WQs already with exploration team

FurinaPlsMarryMe2026-01-17 02:12

WQs and events can be completed before playing the AQ tho, they'll most likely only use it in future AQs

RainbowStone482026-01-17 02:15

Yes i did read it, but WQ is a standalone story that you can do without progressing the AQ.

In the first place what your characters currently wear means nothing, because its predetermined by the game(dev) like if your Jean use default outfit and Klee use witch outfit, in cutscene they will still appear as Jean CN ver and Klee defult outfit, the same thing for traveler.

masternieva6662026-01-17 02:58

you can play the event without finishing the aq.

NightsLinu2026-01-17 01:31

some cutscenes in the new part of nodkai do. not older places.

SnooDonuts89152026-01-17 01:36

I was super disappointed by this as well considering how good the skins are, I really hope they just default it for 6.4 onwards

They need to figure out how to do their pre-rendered setups in-engine. The QTA from this patch was the closest thing I've ever seen to it. It might save a bit of disk space, not having to have any video files.

Well that's disappointing. ...You had a chance to get leveled up Lumine but after hearing that, yeah, you're staying at 10.

i just did some story quests last night (nahida, cyno, and a small bit of nilou) and i think the traveler fit *did* swap to the new one for 'paused' cutscenes-- like the small interaction that forces traveler to pop up when talking to kathryne-- but not for any of the cutscene cutscenes.

which, ig, makes sense, depending on how shits coded.

It's weird bc they show oculus' and enemies and drops in the background for a lot of cutscenes but i guess not the major scenes in aq's so i guess it depends on how the scene is made. Like with the models or if it's more like a separate cinema thing that's already predetermined 🤷‍♂️

For me the skin actually Glitched my whole app lol. I dont think hoyo has even started replacing the old files with new ones

I suspect since the event accessible for beginner or low AR player, they intentionally choose default traveler

Plus-Theme-32832026-01-17 13:47

Maybe in the later archon quests

Honestly so weirded out that the top comments are trying to cope with lore reasons or something, which is complete insanity to me

I have the outfit, and i'm wearing the outfit, so show me the outfit. Why the hell did I magically go change in a wardrobe right before talking to 1 person and then switching back? It's a laughable coding problem that they need to fix, there's no lore reason to this

Absolutely agree. ETA: And honestly surprised that after so many years and after they decided to release Traveler skins, moreover, brought an in-game lore reason and hard requirement to complete the main quest, and hadn't done it so we actually see the new skins after getting them. Like, nobody forced them to release skins, and they had gone through 5 years of the game without one, despite player's demand. I thought, if they had postponed it for so long, they needed to fix those issues. Turns out, no, they just yolo'd

Well, it's no surprise to me I mean if you have paid/free skin on a character you own, sometimes the skin won't show in a cutscene
