Changing your outfit in Dynasty Warriors: Origins might not seem like a game-changing mechanic, but hey, if you’re going to take on armies of thousands, you might as well look good doing it. Here’s the lowdown on how to switch up your Wanderer’s look—and why your options are, well, a little sparse.

Can You Change Your Appearance?

Yes, but don’t get too excited. You can change your Wanderer’s outfit by equipping costumes, but that’s about the extent of your customization options. If you were dreaming of giving your protagonist a mohawk or slapping on some wild armor, you’ll have to keep dreaming. Dynasty Warriors: Origins doesn’t have a full character creation system, so your Wanderer’s face and build are set in stone.

How to Change Outfits

Here’s how you can spruce up your Wanderer’s wardrobe:

Obtain Costumes: Costumes are the only way to change your Wanderer’s appearance, but they’re limited.
- Digital Pre-Order Bonus: If you pre-ordered the game digitally, you’ll receive the Nameless Warrior Garb—a fancy outfit for your stylish battles.
- Physical Pre-Order Bonus: Got a physical copy? You’ll get four recolored versions of the Wanderer’s base garbs. Think of it as the same outfit but in slightly different flavors.
Equip the Costume:
- Head to your inventory or customization menu.
- Select the costume you want and equip it. Voilà, instant wardrobe upgrade.

What About Accessories?

If you were hoping accessories would add some flair to your Wanderer’s look, I’ve got bad news: accessories don’t change your appearance. They’re purely functional, offering buffs and bonuses to help you in battle. So, while they might make you stronger or faster, you won’t look any cooler doing it.

What You Can’t Change

Here’s the deal-breaker for all you customization fans:

Physical Appearance: You can’t alter your Wanderer’s face, hair, or build. They’re locked in tighter than your favorite door during a thunderstorm.
Name: The only thing customizable here is the Wanderer’s name. So, if you want to get creative, this is your one shot to shine.

Pro Tip: Make the Most of What You’ve Got

Since costume options are limited to pre-order bonuses for now, make sure to snag those bonuses if you can. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck with the default outfit, which—let’s face it—doesn’t scream “fashion icon.” And don’t sweat the lack of customization too much. After all, your enemies won’t care what you’re wearing when you’re slicing through their ranks.

While Dynasty Warriors: Origins doesn’t let you go wild with character customization, the costumes give just enough flair to make your Wanderer stand out on the battlefield. Remember, it’s not about the outfit—it’s about how many enemies you can defeat while wearing it.
