    i do not ever remember seeing anyone with a cape in any elder scroll game. So i assume capes are a slight against the Eight and Daedric Princes would be insulted by capes so your safer without one.

    We should not have to pay for anything in this game - we pay a sub. Once they start adding microtransactions, it's a slide straight to p2w.

    Capes should be optional.

    What the hell?? I certainly don't want tabards cape tabards.

    Two birds with one stone here.

    Light armor shoulders look lame. Cloaks are certainly not medium or heavy.

    Replace each factions light armor shoulder armor with their own take on the cloak.

    Cosmetic improvement, not charging extra in sub game, everyone won't use it.

    I am not a fan of capes. But if they are to be introduced, they must be available for free through the gameplay. No additional cost on top of the subscription fee.

    Yes. But $5 and I want to be able to change it whenever I want.
    At the time of typing this, the Poll is 50/50.
    50% Want to see capes; Some of them don't want to pay $2.50, Some would pay $5, and other want them for free.
    the other 50% Just don't want capes or think horse armor and capes are the same thing...
    Well whatever view you have taken 50/50 at this time shows no clear winner.
    So what will win? Capes? or NO Capes?
    You help decide. (This in no way means capes will be a thing but the poll will have a clear winning of choice)
    I would like to note the comments I have read are mixed as well. I amy do another poll later on with a more yes or no focus. To cape or not to cape what a good question.

    Your poll is missing this option:

    NO - capes are lame - we are not playing batman online. But horse armor would be awesome!

    But seriously, if we HAVE to have dumb stuff like this in the game, I agree with those who say it should be crafted, not something you pay cash money for.

    my personal opinion is that they should allow capes in game, but only as a cosmetic item...so those who wish to wear them can...
    as for paying for them using real money..i find it rather distasteful..there should be an ( in-game ) vendor and crafting option available....

    A cape in my opinion is a choice of appearance..and would give your character that extra personal touch and for those who dislike capes...DONT WEAR ONE THEN :smiley:

    I would take capes as an extra armor slot, that way you get an even number of slots to fill with armor instead of the add 7. This makes balancing armor types easier to do, and more importantly, you can then do multiple types of capes, i.e Light flowing capes, Stiffer fur lined Medium capes, and rigid chain mail Heavy capes.


    EDIT* I should also state that the options to see capes or not would be entirely...optional. Just like helms, so yea. Capes or no capes, wear one and choose if you want to see it or not. The real hard part isn't so much implementing them, but balancing out stats again to make sure they don't tip the scales of balance in any one direction.

    I would prefer a way to earn them in game (no poll response matched that option) In LoTRO, it was almost a status symbol to wear the cloak that dropped from Tharlauch (the balrog from the rift raid)

    Cloak has no stats, has level equivalent to character, and can be enchanted with jewelry enchants.The cloak can be turned off like the helmet.


    Examples:
    Emperor
    Cleared craglorn raid
    Covenant/Dominion/Pact hero
    Drop off dungeon/raid VR level bosses
    NPC guild quest line final reward (Mage/Fighter/Thieves/Dark Brotherhood)

    While I would like the option for a customizable cape, I sure as hell ain't gonna support a subscription game with microtransactions. The "NOW!" part of the "No, but I want this option" answer made me decide against picking that one; a certain financial services commercial is stuck in my head thanks to that.

    Would be pretty cool if it worked like the Diablo 3 banner. Unlockable designs and templates based on achievements.

    Indeed it would. Looking at the awardments in the game, not many have any special reward for getting them and those that do are only titles (most of which are from PvP anyway). Another way to go about it is to make various parts of the cape purchased via awardment points; give those things some meaning apart from epeen measurement.

    Of course, I'll be just as pleased if they add something like this to the tabards they mentioned in The Road Ahead.
