Player clothing

Question Title: Player clothing
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.
