Every.

Single.

Fucking.

Time. Why is that? Are they trolling us?

>Coolest weapon is unobtainable by design, but kept in plain sight to taunt you

This. Every single fantasy/scifi game has the best armor looking like someone jizzed on a picture of the character and used it as inspiration.

>I can't move because this thing must weight 6 tons with all the extra spirals and spikes shooting off of it

AUSTERITY IN WEAPONS AND ARMOR IS BEAUTY BECAUSE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FUNCTIONING, NOT STYLISH

>coolest looking armor has terrible stats
>ugly set of armor has decent stats for your level
Seems to happen to me every damn time. I was more games had transmogrification.

>npc version of the armor is way cooler looking even though they are meant to be the same

>Weapons also give defense

>Weapons are usless, you do more damage with your fists.

>get good new armor
>it's mostly an upgrade but because it doesn't have one stat it gets vendored

>game has tons of clothing options, more added frequently
>NPC's still have lots of pieces you can never, ever buy

fuck you, rockstar, i just want a belted dress and some fucking thigh high boots

the only weapons you cant block with are guns, and even those could help in some situations

What game ?

I know wizard101 did it

FFXIV

Maplestory did this. Cost real money to use the feature though so now they go out of their way to make the better armor look as ugly as possible.
