I did eventually find chain mail towards the end! So far the games skimped a bit on basic heavy armour. Ring mail is pretty terrible, and is worse because chain mail is your default starting heavy armour in 5e. Would be nice if there was more choice around starting equipment in general.
I'm surprised by how many people bring up wanting more heavy armour. This is barely act 1... would you want the best gear that you could possibly get - for everyone - in DnD after you played about a third of the campaign? I think it's satisfying to leave some things for later acts.
As for the starting amour, the game used the e5 rules. They could, however, satisfy the needs for eveyone by including the official e5 variant in which you roll how much money you have and can spend it on whatever you like.
