Oh dear, that shiney +2 fullplate looks like how the presenter of queer eye for a stright guy would imagine it. The thing is armor needs to look functional because it needs to be functional, I imagine a rogue armor to be black leather with bracers and a hooded cloak. A breast plate plate is tempered steel plates with hinged shoulders not.....well looking like a 19th century french chandelier landed on your head during a whos got the dumbest armor competition.
Armor gets hit with swords, maces, arrows....You are not going to spend 18 hours a day polishing the bloody thing unless your intent is to blind the enemy while he is laughing his arse off. You cannot move your arms with ginormic pauldrons, you need at least one shoulder with complete freedom of movement to direct or draw a weapon.
