Funcom’s The Secret World has, since launch, put a strong focus on letting players enjoy great freedom in every aspect of the game. This includes the freedom to wear any clothes and look any way they want. In The Secret World outfits don’t impact gameplay, so no one will be stuck wearing the same armor and looking exactly the same as everyone else week after week just because that gear has the best stats.
