The dress up bit is kinda new to me, I never care much about it. Well, I did in one game, Ultima Online. And I think the clothing system is very well-made in that game. You could color armor and clothes. And you are able to wear purely cosmetic robes and capes over your armor. Some other types of clothing can also be worn in layers.
Coherent? Not as much as usual but very useful and enjoyable. Customisation of character, vehicle, house, weapon and so on are examples of meaningful choice. I think meaningful choice is how you make people care because every time you ask a person to choose, they are giving a piece of them to the game. If the choice isn't meaningful (like in match 3 games) then they'll care less. Great video as always!

Yup, different strokes for different folks. For some people, customization only matters much later, after they already care.
