| Category: | Character |
| Question: | Are there any plans to add long, billowing cloaks to a characters appearance (it could be used on the necklace slot to save coding headaches)? I am drawn to the image of the mighty warrior or mage standing at the edge of a precipice, overlooking a beautiful landscape (of which there are many in AC, great work!)long cloak billowing in the breeze...I am curious as to why this icon of RPG gaming has been left out? |

| Answer: | It's basically because there's no mesh deformation in the AC engine - you'll notice that every object is composed of objects which move, but never bend. A flowing cloak doesn't look so flowing if it's as stiff as a board. |
