Build your own cutscene NPC

This is certainly a big undertaking (not sure if it is even possible), but it would be nice to be able to build your own NPCs for cutscenes by choosing race, gender, customization options, gear equipped, and storing it in a custom NPC database.
I'm not really into programming, but, as an idea (i don't even know if it can be possible), what about being able to save sets from the wardrobe into the addon so it uses the current data from the wardrobe?
So, it seems making an NPC from scratch is a no-go. I did some tests on equipping an NPC (from a playable race) with gear pieces (using a DressUpModel) and obtained the following results :
- Slots which work : Helmet, Shoulders, Cloak, Weapons, Off-Hands & Shields. Since the armor pieces have "hidden" versions as items, we might be able to hide those pieces (didn't try yet).
- Other slots don't work, the geometry is updated but the texture stays the same, although 3d parts are shown properly.
It might be interesting enough to try implementing it some day ? I'll try on beta at a later date to see if it behaves the same.
