"It's simple" didn't imply usage of game engine nor time.
I also never said simple. I said easy.
I challenged you by trying it yourself to see how easy it is. Have you tried doing it yourself? I'd wager not, and probably win said wager.

Now, reply to me with further excuses for why it's "too hard."
Where is it mentioned that is that task?

Django from Boktai had a scarf. I doubt it was difficult to add.
Even then, it becomes a problem of adding a gear system at all and a scarf is pretty irrelevant.
or you’re asking me to implement an accessory-anchor system all for the sake of a scarf
