One of the best fantasy stories that exists, in my opinion. Name one epic fantasy in existence where there are NOT the presence of a cape or cloak.įor example, the Lord of the Rings. However, this is absolutely impossible with the absence of capes and cloaks in the Elder Scrolls. I, like many other players, sometimes strive to make my character similar to heroes found in other epic fantasy stories. Next, I think we can all agree that Skyrim, beyond simply being an epic fantasy game, is an RPG.
I think we can take the 'unrealistic' excuse out. Bethesda, and some players, are stating that wearing a cape in Skyrim would be "impractical" and "unrealistic," but in the same day there are talking dragons, walking cat people, and lizard mages in Skyrim. In the feudalism period of history, women and men wore capes to keep warm through the frigid winters. With that said, I know that one of Bethesda's arguments as to why there aren't capes in Skyrim is that "It's not realistic." Supposedly, in medieval times, soldiers did not wear capes because they were 'impractical.' That isn't completely true, however, the top commanders and lords did wear capes to symbolize their rank and their power. Rather than having the cape be a part of the armor, like the Nightingale Armor, I'd like to see it be a separate piece of equipment that can be put on any armor set. He or she could mix and match colors to see what looks more epic. What I would propose is for the character to have a cape slot for equipped armors.That way, the player can choose whether or not to wear the cape or cloak with whatever set of armor their character may have. But.why do these people claim that they don't want them in the game? What do they care? As far as I'm concerned, the game is already almost completely cape-free. I wanted to call to attention Bethesda's "arguments" pertaining to why they won't add capes or cloaks for console players such as myself, and see what everyone else thought about this issue.įirst of all, I know there are people who don't like capes. I know that some people aren't fans of capes, and that's fine, this is just my personal opinion. Bear with me through my favorite rant, because it's the only thing keeping my role-playing from being immersive. Alright, I realize there are a variety of things people would like to see added into the game.
