How ridiculous is it that this is a fantasy RPG with weapons and armor and magic and all that good stuff and there are no cloaks or capes in the game. It kinda makes your mages look a little undressed to me...Everyone else is wearing armor while the walk around looking un-cool in their mage rhobes which really just look lke regular clothes except for the ones with the fur on it that just look plain stupid. And whats even more annoying is that in an attempt to try and get us in the whole fantasy rpg mood and really want to buy the game they have a commercial for the game where everybody is wearing cloaks. Thats just plain old fashion false advertisment...Please tell me they are going to include this in an update. How is it that they are making a star wars game where everyone is going to be wearing cloaks (yeah i know different teams working on the games but still come one) and it didnt cross their minds to include it in this game? There really isn't an abundance of any equipment at all in this game now that i think about it. Updates are needed with the new dlc.

Because capes never made any real sense as to why they were so integrated into lore. Cloaks were for when you got cold, nothing else.

Now now...the cloak and dagger style of fighting is actually pretty damned effective. But otherwise, yes, cloaks just get in the way when you fight.Rainen89 wrote...

That's just assassination though and even then it was usually made either as a feint or used as a distraction, it would work on maybe one darkspawn or humanoid but there's only so much you can do.

i posted this in an attempt to get responses and maybe support from those who may agree with me so hopefully in a perfect world bioware will get the idea and put them in the game.

Unless I'm mistaken, there is an unused and hidden cloak equipment slot. Exploiting it is what makes the hide-helm mod work.

There's not an unused slot, you're probably thinking of the helm slot.

Actually, i would work well as a disarm technique. A heavy enough cloak would blunt the attack of a longsword and entangle it. Of course your cloak is all screwed up after a few uses of this technique.Rainen89 wrote...

Cloaks are very difficult to animate and time consuming. The development team probably felt it wasn't worth the effort considering how many animations it would need to be rigged for. If you notice the cloaks in WoW are usually stapled onto the characters. Anything that's fabric is very difficult to animate especially when moving. So you would only have like 1-5 animations at most, I rather have extra quests than a stupid cloak

A cloak would be nice for rogues. The hobbits wore cloaks that could camouflage them so maybe stealth bonus and a dex requirement.

Exactly they definitely should be the items that have the stats that rogues or mages would benefit from. Like for example if the cloaks were enchanted or something they could give you buffs like the way the mage hoods do and or attract less attention for your character. Also i definitely don't need them to look like all that realistic i mean its not as if the rest of the clothes in the game look flowing and life like either.

Yeah considering most of the armors in the game clip into the character model already it would be cool to see your swords and things sticking out of your cloak.

The visible cloaks will come when players make them in the toolset and other programs attached to that.
A year after then maybe bioware would implent them into the game, at least for me it seemed to be like that way with Neverwinter Nights.

Cloaks would not decrease people's notice of you.
Tell me, which of these are more noticeable?DragonAgeNeedsCapesOrCloaks wrote...

actually cloaks are a big deal for many RPGers. in fact they added cloaks to NWN2 after huge community whinings. its another matter altogether, that the cloaks they made were crappy narrow ribbons.
and by the way, in strict RP sense, cloaks are very necessary. they were needed for the cold and the rain which our roving band definitely would have encountered a lot.

I don't so much care for the RP aspects of cloaks although they do make sense. I just want cloaks because I love how cool they look.

Why do you people even respond to chickens who do not post using their real player account and take the risk of having both their accounts banned by Bioware, and risk being dragged along with them?
It's safer to just ignore them. Though I would agree that cloaks would be awesome, it's just not time for that.

Well the cloak would be more noticeable if it was a black one in the middle of a field like in the way it is portrayed in your picture but remember that most of the game is dungeon crawling in shadowy dungeouns. If you take that into consideration then the cloaks would definitely mak you less noticeable in those types of areas. Also if the cloak were a color that would blend in with lighter environments then you would obviously reap the same benefits. And sorry if i didnt make it clear but i meant that the enchantment on the cloak could make enemies less prone to attack you sort of the way those little magical items of jewelry sometimes offer the same advantage.

Despite other games/stories lore cloaks do not make someone harder to see or whatnot. They were a freaking backwarmer, that is it. They insulated heat so people wore them back then, they had no effect whatsoever on your stealthiness, nor did they add to any sort of camouflage. You're not fighting someone and are fooled/bewildered because half way through the fight they pull an oversized towel that they had hanging on their back in front of them. It's no different, a cloak is a piece of clothing. It's not magical, it doesn't make you sneaky and it doesn't do anything except keep you warm in the winter.
