err, well when i was looking for a decent image for what i wanted i kinda came across one from twilight princess ^//^"but the plates of metal are kind of fused to his body via the large bolts that are part of the metal in the image. however i can change this if necessary to reduce confusion :O

What we're trying to say is that bolting your armour to your body would, for lack of a better phrase, hurt like a [i]bitch[/i]. 
It'd also make you really un-dexterous and permanently weigh you down.
In a nutshell it'd just be really inconvenient: We understand what you're describing, we just can't put our fingers on why anybody would do that to themselves.
