I was reading the latest Mail Sack and when they described everyone being "reset" to fresh, clean Guardians it got me thinking.
Capes and robes and, well, clothing of a flowing-cloth type nature looks awesome when it's been ripped, burned, 'sploded and weathered, but that's also a sign of having been out in the world and having gotten up to some business in your days. I think it would be awesome if new players started out with fresh and clean outfits that became more weathered as you progress through the game. The closest example I can think of would be the way scars work in Fable 2. Only instead of nasty scars across your face you're looking more awesomely rugged.
Procedurally-generated-clothes-weathering, I guess. What do you guys think?

People would look and think "woah hes been out in the sticks for a while!" Come to think ofit, the dirt would be relevant. to the area you're. exploring, like snow buildup. for example.
