Okay, first of all I'm not complaining about the amount of perks lights armors got, what I'm wondering though is why medium and heavy armors didn't get the same treatment.
I mean, whry create such cool medium armors (no heavies on the contrary...that Gecko backed doesn't really count) if no one's gonna wear them?
What, they've got a little more DT? big deal. Some of them can give you a boost in some stat/skill? often useless.
But what pisses me off the most is the speed malus of those armors, it's running underwater, I hate it with all my soul and I can't believe they never included at least one perk or one medium armor that could affect that malus.

I guess, we'll never know why but since we're probably not getting anymore new perks, I wanted at least give my opinion about it.

Medium armor at least has sweet stats and high DT. This counter balances the relatively low DT that all the light armors with good stats have.
Heavy armor though? That crap svcks.

they actually did this just to bother you

Calm down, it's just a game.

Damn, I was unaware of that !

Oh well, I guess it doesn't bother people as much as I thought, time to put that Elite Riot Suit in the wardrobe I guess.

I only wear heavy armor when I need the higher DT. When I do that, I accept the trade-off of speed in favor of protection.

It's funny you should say big deal when talking about getting more DT... because getting more DT kind of IS a big deal.
