Hoodies for non-rogue classes please...

Okay, been playing BG2 with a Wildmage so as to get used to the class when I start BG:EE.

The thing that is bugging me the most... What is really irritating me... Annoying me enough to not play the class is...

How come I can't wear a hood!

The cowled wizards get a cowl, I mean a hood. WHY CAN'T I HAVE ONE!

I need to hide my face... Assasins tried to kill me in the bunk house... I have very low charisma... Well I got a ring now...

BUT THATS NOT THE POINT!

I would like the ability to go to a shop and buy a hood. It would do nothing apart from hide ones face and perhaps keep off rain... It would then allow my avatar to have a hood AND MAKE HIM / HER LOOK COOL!

Please oh please oh please... Give hoodies to non-rogue classes. Just think Edwin could match his avatar!

I would like to classify this as a bug, but it is clearly non-game breaking... Oh well. We can dream. Maybe someone else is irritated by this...

    Logically, all cloaks should "hood" the wearer when worn. Otherwise, it's a cape.

    There should be a cursed "Cape of Tackiness" that sets your Charisma score to 3.

    @deb Yes... But what if you wanna wear another cloak... Like Vecna's

    I just wanna be buck-ass naked. Can we make this happen? IT'S NAKEY TIME.
  • AnduinAnduin Member Posts: 5,745
    I wouldn't mind being able to go naked, if I could also get a hood to put my snake in...
  • AnduinAnduin Member Posts: 5,745
    Look. A lady mage wants to use her helmet slot just like everyone else!

    @hahacharade ...you started this :P

    This is going to turn into the "Golems Need Loving Too" thread again isn't it?

    I like the idea of cloaks giving a "hooded" animation if there's nothing in the helmet slot, although not every cloak should do that.

    It also always kind of bothered me that a thief in plate armor (with Use Any Item) doesn't have a hood.

    Shirley, the hood is tucked under the plate armour?

    And Sue, where is the mages hood tucked into? Is it made invisible because of their awesome arcane might?

    A hood... Robin wouldn't have dated Maid Marionne without one...

    Does the thief hood from TOB give you a hood animation when you are wearing full plate with a thief?

    I think the bigger issue is losing the robe models when you duel or multiclass. This problem may have been fixed by BG:EE so I don't really want to assume anything. I just always thought it would have been really cool to walk around in a Robe of the Evil Archmagi while dishing out significant melee damage. When I look at my character I want to see swords (daggers most likely), a hood, and a cape. I mean... I don't mind having my characters look like they're wearing plain clothes while slaughtering hordes of Duergar, but I think they would look much nicer in collared and hooded robes.

    When serious blood letting is needed, you need a cloak...

    All those frigs out there that say you need armour have already made an awful bad assumption...

    They have assumed that they will be hit...

    Be positive... wear a hoodie...

    Well unless they change it in bgee, wearing a hood--or anything in the head slot--will make you immune to criticals.

    This quite frankly should be a toggleable feature as not everyone is going to want to wear a hood all the time. But I would certainly like to have a nice hood on my mage if I wanted too.

    @Grammarsalad I never knew that... Do ioun stones give that protection too, but they just didn't report it to the user? Ooooh! Gonna test it!
  • xLegionxxLegionx Member Posts: 197
    How about ioun stones showing up on you character mini? That would be awesome!

    They do... I believe that they may address this in the next version of item revisions though so we may not need BGEE to do it.
