I was reading the latest Mail Sack and when they described everyone being "reset" to fresh, clean Guardians it got me thinking.
Capes and robes and, well, clothing of a flowing-cloth type nature looks awesome when it's been ripped, burned, 'sploded and weathered, but that's also a sign of having been out in the world and having gotten up to some business in your days. I think it would be awesome if new players started out with fresh and clean outfits that became more weathered as you progress through the game. The closest example I can think of would be the way scars work in Fable 2. Only instead of nasty scars across your face you're looking more awesomely rugged.
Procedurally-generated-clothes-weathering, I guess. What do you guys think?

Maybe you could take the time in the tower to clean your armor, capes, clothing, maybe even guns to make them more shiny (not necessarily but you get my point) and it would be like a mini game (maybe) and you could like, pick up the cleaning utensils with left trigger or L2 and scrub with R2 or right trigger.
