can you download some kind of hak that will make it so you actually see the clock or robe on your character in the game?

I have seen cloaks and robes in different modules so I know that there are some haks for these out there. Just do a search at NW Vault.

You want Lisa's cloaks for sure, do a hak pak search at the vault using "Lisa" as the author or as a keyword and find what I think are the best custom cloaks and clothes yet!

Heres a link to the NW vault:

Thanks for the help, I'll definitely check out Lisa's cloaks.

They're not that good though, IMHO. Makes you realize just why Bioware are having trouble with 'em.

For certain they are not perfect, but they are better than nothing if you really want cloaks, robes, fancy dresses, or whatever. Lisa also does umbrellas, Cleric holy items you can hold in your hand, and lots of other groovy add-ons.

Yes, robes and cloaks in modules tend to be very 'stiff' and not flowing like they're supposed to be. It's limitations in the game engine according to BioWare. That's why we don't see things like robes, cloaks and slithering things such as snakes. They (BioWare) could do them but not well enough so they stay clear of them.

Hehe yeah, clipping issues are a mucho problem. I do like those umberalleas though, It's weird seeing them in a fantasy/medeival game.
