Miriam Full Costume Poll: Which would you prefer the most?

Valkyrie

and some of the cool alternate armor designs fan artists have done. Armor in general.

I chose Corrupted, Angelic (in lieu of Pure Miriam which isn't included here but I love it), Succubus (not too explicit, keeping it tasteful, but a bit of sexy and revealing demon is up my alley) and Vampire. Though I have to say, I would've picked up the Plague Doctor outfit if it were in the poll. Those masks are the best, and playing the Plague of Shadows campaign for Shovel Knight skyrocketed my love for the... "profession".

man, a Valkyrie armor needs to happen

purifyweirdsoul I don't think we need to worry about maid outfit. You can't have a maid headband without the rest of the outfit.

Well, as of right now, that's exactly the case. There aren't any outfits confirmed except the default and pure Mirriam. They obviously wouldn't be able to have one for every hat...

I like your poll but I stopped at four logical (to me) choices.
It is strange that there is no adventurer/traveler pick in there, as in simple clothes fitting the era, but not too shabby... no one would want to see her as a vagrant.

My other suggestion would be a victorian dress, of the non-puffy kind (context-fitting again). A ballroom dress would also do the trick.

Oh and a yukata.

Let's give Miriam some needed elegance!

Succubus

Here you guys are wishing for costumes... here I am working on my own for like... an hour a month

But yeah as you guys might have figured out, i voted for the vampiric, kawaii, demonic, succubus.



Maybe I should start a succubus mod next?... hmmm... nah I'd feel too ashamed.

Cowgirl costume for me means something else entirely...Cow hide, cow horns, cow tail...you know what i'm talking about. Something that would never ends up in the game lol

Yeah that's what I thought of when I first read "cowgirl" in the context above since it's next to the other animal costume ideas lol. Maybe should be called "gunslinger" instead.

Corrupted, by far. Although obvious, I think it could be really badass if done right. A shadowy creature exuding tendrils of darkness or something along those lines.

Magician could also look really cool if they went all Zatanna and gave her the stockings and such. Forgive the image. I was truthfully trying to find something less sexual that showed off the look, but all the good ones were semi-racy.

So you guys want the costumes to actually have affixes (attributed attached)?

I see two ways to go about it.. Might be many more?

1. Have a special set of items that give you buffs and abilities, while one other "costume" set can be layed ontop of the special sets - giving you no extra attributes.
2. All items are special and gives you buffs and abilities, however, it needs to be a way to toggle which piece you want to use its abilities and buffs from, and which you wanna see ON Miriam.

I believe 1 is easier to make than 2. Mostly because you can make the games different tier items (helmet, scarf, armor). Then later on go bananas on costumes, which wouldn't give you any other advantage, just looks. Also, number two could just confuse the player.. Thinking Top Hat Magicians +20 INT is applied instead of the Royal Crown's +10 STR as an example. Or players might think you gain both the INT and the STR... Stuff like that isn't always crystal clear.

I would do 1 as a developer, if anything were to be introduced. Either have a collection of haristyles, dresses, armor, shoes, weapons (!?), scarfs and helmets. Then have a special slot for head, body, legs and weapon. Head would either let you have a hairstyle, scarf or a helmet "costume". Body would have dresses and armor styled "costumes", and legs would be .. well, legs and shoes "costumes". I mean.. Fishnet or Bunnyshoes? Side-cut Hair or Top Hat? This would also allow the developers to just have fun with costumes, just adding flavor-text and no real attributes. I could see this as something for future patches to include also.

Then we have colors
If it would be as such as we can change color on some, but not all costume / armor items. It would be a treat if these costumes were divided. Lets say you find a Christmas Hat, its all red and white. But next up you find an Elf Hat, this time green and gold. The design is the same, but now you got 2 different costumes with a price of one. I guess these could be locked in terms of how color goes, or not. Really.. Variation is key and its fun to have power to change colors on costumes and such, but limit it might give some items (costumes that is with no attributes) a possible sense of luxury / rare feel to them.

Same goes with hairstyles
If we end up with 2 or .. 20 hairstyles, just example.. How about, when it comes to costumes, each hairstyle have different colors, instead of you tweaking around with colors. If you WOULD tweak around colors, it would only apply on Miriams basic hair style, and / or the armor, crown or what not you found with attributes.

To make it clear
My thought is this: Costumes are locked when it comes to colors, but armors with attributes from the game are not. It would let people use costumes maybe as much as the original and attribute-filled armors.

Thoughts?
