✭✭✭✭✭Sometimes I'll play around with capes in games using the Unreal engine because they jiggle around like gelatin. It's kind of gross.
But here we're not going to get anything more advanced than the wispy trail effects like you can currently see in the Swarm Mother Arms Pack.signing off0 -

✭✭✭✭✭This again? I guess it is every once in awhile someone who is new asks for this not understanding Zos has said no.
Zos needs to improve performance before adding silly performance reducing things like capes.0 -

✭Capes was a thing before. But as you can see no elder scroll game has any Capes. Anyway at one point they considered it, but the engine is not supporting cape mechanics. As it cannot support flying mounts, and water physics.( No waves at all) Just simply cant handle it.0 -

Which they have said from the beginning... they tried it during development, found out that doing it any other way then the "stapled to butt" kind was a choice between "Clipping Nightmare" or "Nightmare Lag" and decided on:ZaroktheImmortal wrote: »

Actually there are addons for capes/cloaks in Skyrim and Oblivion (well, I think Oblivion - there was when I played it last which admittedly has been a while). No, they aren't in the base game. And they're rather unsatisfying as addons because.... the rigging sucks, and there's no way to really fix it so they're "right".0 -

bodge2372✭✭✭I'm not having my alts appearance ruined by flappy bits of cloth. Plus capes are the work of Molag Bal. Say NO! to Daedric capes....0 -
GoldenLight✭✭✭It would be nice to see in the game but something I don't see them ever doing. May be possible if they made it an animation that was client side only and was not part of the server. Just having that option for pre-loaded cloaks that are in the client side.
The down side it that they would not be seen in the world and it would look strange with you playing the game and only seeing a cloak/cape on your character but no one else."Wonderful! Time for a celebration... Cheese for everyone!"0 -
