Why doesn't the game have better knee armor?

That guard might still be adventuring today if Bethesda put some pants in the game. Another Todd Howard [censored] up.

Look, the gods gave you two hands. If you choose to use both to hold a weapon, who am I to judge?

sooo..you finally saw the memes....

Keep your hands to yourself, sneak thief!

This got old, way too fast.

Are you genuinly bringing up an issue about the lack of greaves, here? If so, I agree.

The thing about knee armor is that they are the perfect shape and size to hide sweetrolls behind.
Given the choice, protect knee or protect sweetroll, you can understand why so many people end up with knee injuries.

This is the most epic reply anyone could ever say.
