Make Bear Capes NOT take up the back slot

I don't see how it's impossible to put a backpack OVER a cape IRL, so why should it be difficult on this?
No one will want to use a bear cape (Possibly one of the best leather items) if it means taking off their backpack or quiver.

This annoys me as well. We're considering giving capes a dedicated equipment slot. The issue is mostly one of poorly interacting graphics, but that might be a sacrifice we'll have to make. The ranger cape is compatible with the backpack, and It doesn't look über bad.

I don't know about that. A backpack and a cape put me in the mind of a geek with a trench coat and neon-green book bag. If you could get the graphic to look ok, it'd work.

I definitely agree that from a gameplay perspective the bear cape doesn't stand up to the backpack.
Surprise.
