Hi all, this is my first post here, and I just wanted to ask if traditional robes are present as equippable gear in the game, like the various robe designs in the Infinity Engine games. Robes as a whole tend to be neglected, so I'm really curious about this; I mostly tend to play as robed casters, and the only robe art I've seen so far in any screenshot are the ones worn by the enemies.

 

Thanks!

Robes are for bitches, wear full plate instead.

Real adventurers wear breeks and a jerkin. Robes are for stuffy academic types and ascetic hermits.

 I don't know why they wouldn't have robes; it's a common enough piece of garb and there likely to be some NPCs wearing them. They've already got cloaks.

"It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

I don't think anything's been said about robes, but I hope if they do have them they reflect the different cultures that made them.

I always though the justification for wearing robes was a bit flimsy.  Supposedly wizards wear robes because they don't constrict their movement.  If that was the case, why wouldn't they wear comfortable pants and a shirt, which are less constricting since they're closer fitting?

I'm pretty sure we've seen in-game footage of robed characters. So, I'm guessing yes, :)

 

What do you call a full group of 6 cloth-wearers?

 

ROBE SQUADRON! 6_u

Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u

In the gdc presentation you can see a few low level robes:

I take it the green-hooded woman (or guy, I can't tell) and the red-hooded one next to her/him are the robe-wearers?

Anybody here played ultima online? That game was awesome, and the most awesome looking cloth you could wear was the robe, with armor under it of course.. ;)

 

And then you had the death robe with a hoody, but that was reserved for ghosts...or modded servers..

 

Good old days.. :)
