Question on Armor and Clothing

Gamer asks about custom armor and skin textures:

I remember that one of the demo (topics) mentioned a awesome chest tattoo. I was wondering if it is possible for your character to go shirtless(im meaning male characters), im thinking like a monk character or a character with a cool chest tattoo to show off. … could i have a fighter guy whose armor is only leg armor and he doesnt where torso armor due to both fighting preference and wanting to show off a cool tattoo? or will armor be default where you cant have leg armor without torso armor like in BG?

You can create a suit of armor to look however you’d like it to look. Anyone who saw the E3 demo may recall Trent’s comment about a “suit” of armor consisting of one golden boot… Spiffy! Of course, the protection you would get from wearing one golden boot would be minimal at best (not to mention the disturbed glances you would get from other inhabitants of the game world), but if that’s what you want, then that’s what you got! 🙂

(Of course, armor like this would have to be put together by the DM via the toolset (a task that could take you all of 2 minutes), and then dropped down into the world, either at a store or as a treasure, for example.)
