I think the whole fantasy shoulder-pad thing is incredibly silly, in all games that every used them. Look at any real armor suit from ye olden days, or from modern combat armors used by the world's militaries, and you will not see anything remotely resembling any of the twaddle they've created in today's fantasy shoulder pad art. Between anime and warcraft and countless other fantastical armor imaginings, most people have no idea what real shoulder armor looks like, past or present. Combat isn't football, and you don't try to 'tackle' your opponents in life or death struggles with any kind of weapon. Not unless you are a total tahrd looking to earn a box on your first mission. Damn things are just goofy, plain and simple.
