There are some decent outfits as you traverse the lands. Hal's Armor (For Limited Edition owners) is pretty sweet. Highwayman's outfit is not bad either. But they're just for show, they only add to you attractiveness/scariness.
You get Hal's armour by entering the code you got in your LE box into the marketplace, and then opening the chest next to the Cullis Gate in the Chamber of Fate.
What I don't understand is how, with the recent development of firearms, armour somehow DISA-****ING-PEARS within five hundred years. Would firearms be the cause of more diverse armour?
