I know. Chromebook 4 even has rules on how to make your own protective clothing. But in the tabletop you can balance protenction against mobility mobility offered by an armored trenchcoat, heavy duty pants and combat boots or a protective jump suit with a jacket and comfortable shoe. Hell, it even jokes that you can wrap four scarves aroun your neck to become unable to move your head but also shrug off rifle bullets. I get that. But what Cyberpunk 2077 does is this:You can still play dressup, the first person view is just a mechanic so you don't need to behold the abomination you put together to have the best stats.remember when mebrilia threw a fit a few years back when cyberpunk was confirmed to be first person and she couldn't play dress up anymore
Dressing up is part of the pen and paper as well. How you dress contribute at how you appear shaping the attitude of those that you meet. Look is a important part in the setting.
But good luck to explain that to the people that loves to trow out air from the mouth not knowing anything about the setting. :D
That's just dumb.
