Thread: jumpsuits
Becuase the bulkiness of the material coupled with the bulkiness of the jacket's material creates a situation where you can't put your arms down. Essentially recreating the scene from "A Christmas Story" in which the little brother was bundled up so much he called out, "I can't put my arms down!"
As you can see this can be a major issue when dealing with combat. During beta one individual whom we shall call "Philsbury Doughboy" (becuase he wore all white) was walking harmlessly along when he was suddenly jumped by a rabid gang of Meatlumps. They knocked him over in an effort to rob him. Powerless to break hiss fall becuase his arms were stuck straight out from his sides, he received a concussion. By the time the devs found him he was so delerious he thought that he was the new spokesman for the goodyear tire company.
Since then we've never been able to wear jackets with bodysuits and those of us who know the story flench whenever we see a rogue Meatlump wander by.
Either that or it's another of a long list of bugs that hasn't climbed high enough on the evolutional chain of importance.
