Hide helmet during cutscenes

I have no idea where to post this so I'm gonna put it here.

Several times I've run in to a cutscene without hiding my helmet first, being unable to see my character's face and expressions. Only his nods.

I would love to have a mechanic where you can tick the option where headpieces are hidden during cutscenes. I don't think that would be too much of a hassle.

It actually kinda exists in the game already.
Or at least it does for parts of some cutscenes in the msq. One after the vault for example where your headgear gets taken off part way through (won't go into details). There's a few more at various points but listing them might be considered spoiler ish.

Don't think it would be to difficult to make it a more wide spread option for all cutscenes though or just going forward if for some reason it wouldn't toy with older ones

Rezing this dead thread because I'm shocked that Square Enix hasn't added this feature to a supposedly-story-heavy game like this. Hopefully they see it this time.

Unless they can code it to be optional or only affect specific items rather than a blanket "turn off headgear" command, it could be detrimental as much as helpful. If characters have headgear as part of their 'appearance' (glasses, horns, eyepatch, etc.) then it would be very jarring to have them vanish during cutscenes.

This could be solved by storing the setting with gearsets, just as the current show/hide headgear toggle is. Or just give that setting a third option, so it's hidden: always/in cutscenes/never. That way, you'd be selecting how you want the headgear on that particular outfit to be treated.

Yo Blahblahbrea, I'mma let you finish, but I gotta take my helmet off first.
