Revelations from Patch 5.5 (Part 2)

[KizuyaKatogami]

Minus the extreme punishment, one of the few Amaurotine sidequests from which we can grasp their culture has us being told off for daring to wear something other than the communal robes.



It sounds more like "everyone will regard you as incredibly rude and/or an idiot if you don't follow the social rules" than "we will actively punish you for not complying", but there is definitely societal pressure to conform in appearance even if they are free to express themselves in other ways.

This seems like a really weird assumption. The way they word it on other languages is that they overall don’t care, but it’s something that might take the attention of others which could be a problem/pose a danger(with the way their creation magicks work.) The short story even mentions that Hades i believe never really followed that rule anyways. Don’t really see where you’re getting “you’ll be seen as an idiot” from.

The guy in the quote just told us that "to delight in disparity [i.e. difference] is a mark of the morally deficient". They might not try to stop you from dressing as you want if you insist, but they don't sound like anyone is going to approve of it.

I'm not sure where you're getting that about Hades either. The Through His Eyes story specifies that his mask is the only unique thing that he is wearing.

Though it does make sense from a practical standpoint if dressing plainly means less risk of distraction while Creating.
