I want capes.

AdamBourke✭✭✭✭✭According to a GDC conference on animation in ESO a couple of years back, Capes were originally going to be in the game, using the same bones as argonian tails do, but they were removed to make room in memory for first person hand/weapon assets.
The talk itself is pretty dull for a non tech-art person, but there are a few interesting insights in there.

✭I just have one question, will the cape clip with my 2h sword that magically floats on my back when I'm not using it and could I put my guild logo on it?
Edit: That counts as one question where I come from.

I am imagining watching a trial group running around with pixels on them, and the cape is lost to my imagination .... I guess that's what I get for being an Argonian.
What now master?0 -

If you think consoles can compete with PCs on performance, you're delusional.
Consoles, most definitely, are the the LCD. The entire game is pigeonholed to accommodate the console peasants.
Limited number of abilities of bars? Consoles. No ability to click on anything? Consoles. Lack of real, efficient sub bars (read: pet management)? Consoles.
Don't even get me started.
Or... it's the limitations of the game's engine.
But sure, let's start a console war for no reason.
People need to find something to blame.. but the Obvious never really seems to satisfy. The game itself has limitations caused by it’s own conservative design - but Console players are the “real problem” to the unenlightened commoners.
PS4 is about to get a Tera beta, has a fully functioning Warframe, Neverwinter, and FF14 - and may get Black Desert.
How exactly would consoles be to blame for ESO not being able to match graphical and/or physics-based capabilities in these games?
100gb on console and it simply doesn’t have the power to seperate certain cloth meshes from the character’s legs (Nocturnal), most of it’s fabric physics are stiff like a board, and it’s animations are still a touch rigid.
That isn’t because Consoles simply can’t handle those things.
ESO is a fantastic game, but it has it’s limits. Those limits tend to be in the graphical regions.

DAOC had capes. Your guild symbol went on the cape. The only way to get a cape was to join a guild. Much better system than the ESO guild tabard, which is hideous, looks like a body-bib. Almost never see them, usually covered with a costume. Because, ugly. If DAOC could do it 10 years ago, EOS's excuses sound pretty lame today.
Ditch the guild tabard. Update the character model and give us guild capes.XBX1 NA

If you are talking about controls and other “gameplay” features, it is quite possible. If it was, they did a poor job of it, though, since I’ve seen more complex and in-depth “gameplay” on consoles before.
If you are talking about “Graphical systems”, which is what I am responding to, than it was made with some pretty out-of-date specs for said consoles.
A comment claiming this game can’t have “capes” because it won’t work on consoles is just flat idiotic.2 -

How is ZoS struggling with cash?
They gave away $1 million dollars in a contest to player.
They had a Multi-Million dollar commercial during last years Super-Bowl.
They won a Half-BILLION dollar lawsuit with Oculas & FaceBook..
No, I think Zen Media is doing just fine.
And don't blame consoles for "No Capes". Consoles didn't even have ESO till over a year after launch. ESO was designed for PC with consoles being second on list. (Note: ESO was in development before Skyrim was even released..)
So many ":Arm Chair Developers" here. If you know that ESO can add capes, then please write and send the Program Coding and Algorithms to Zos, or listen to the developers as to why "Capes" are a bad idea. Just because a game 10 years ago has something, it does not mean all games can have it, or should.
Yes, cloakes would be cool, but after the "Breton Costume", No Thank You...

Yeah skyrim was limited aswell, but the Nightingale cape was actually not that bad.
Definitely not as bad as the Breton hero armor.

No capes for them, they get bells and ribbons instead...
