Finally made POSI, and exploring new challenges is fun. I had previously noticed the outfits dropdown (morning, evening, etc.) but never put together what it was for; how sad is that? Now I'm not manually switching equipment for particular challenges. Minor question - is it possible to rename the settings?

Honestly, I wish there were an extra slot for maxed BDR clothing, which doesn't always fit with a maxed basic stat.

Also, Watchful Chelatic mittens are perfect for opening tinned sardines for your breakfast. Much better than trying to fiddle around with that little key thing.

It's also worth pointing out that the Morning Suit boosts Watchful the most, while almost all the Persuasive clothes are eveningwear.

The idea behind Morning and Evening, I presume, is that morning-wear is what the well-to-do wear to work, where they're busy all day using their brains and being productive, while evening-wear is what they wear to parties, where they drink too much and try to charm the pants off of each other.

Ideally, we’d be able to add four or five custom slots for whatever we choose. BDR is obviously the main reason people have to fiddle with equipment, but there are other things too: for instance, Dreaded allows you to move past a specific card during Heists with up to 100% reliability. That’s surprisingly useful in a pinch.

Or having a "show off" outfit of cool fun things, but not necessarily top-useful for any particular stat. Or an everyday outfit with balanced stats good enough for most usual tasks. Or a targeted outfit for, say, Mahogany Hall - with particular stats highlighted. Or... yes, I really like outfits, I suppose...

No. The intent, more or less, is to use Morning for Watchful items, Incognito for Shadowy, Hard-Wearing for Dangerous, and Evening for Persuasive. You can, of course, use them in whatever way suits you.

I do it the same way as Kan. It seems to me that Hard-Wearing clothes are the sturdy sort of wear that one needs for Dangerous Ventures, whereas Incognito clothes are surely for ventures during which one does not wish to be recognized. I reasoned that Evening Clothes are one's most formal wear, whereas Morning is... associated with daylight, in places that actually have daylight, at least.

D'accord. On the other hand, the more concerned you are with BDR, oftentimes, the less concerned you are with stat bonuses, so it does work out to some degree.

I agree with both: a dedicated BDR slot would be delicious and I currently use my Hard-Wearing for it, as I rarely have need of maximized Dangerousness (which one shouldn't, if one is extremely Dreaded and Bizarre).

Yeah, a fifth slot (BDR) would be nice. Call it 'unexplainable' or 'unfathomable' or something!

I'd be content with HALF of that.
6 of one, half dozen of the other and what not.
Mine are just in order with the stats down the left, I didn't bother lining it up in any thematic way.
I could use a 5th to hold BDR.
I'd want a 6th that holds as much - stat as possible. I'd get my last few stat points that much easier if I could equip my rattus of chatter...

I'd be happy with a fifth "outfit" choice--a BDR outfit. Anything else other than that plus maxing costume choices to max a particular stat I prefer to select items on an ad hoc basis anyway.
