"Archers". When you say it like that, it sounds like a class, or a profession. This is under the assumption, im guessing, that no one will be able to switch from bow to melee effectively after this combat revamp, categorizing armed forces into either "infantry" or "archers". I doubt that will be the case, though.

Regardless, i don't think the difference in weight between full bone and full leather is enough to deter players from choosing armor significantly more protective if at only slightly higher encumbrance. Its incredibly easy to get away in this game. If you don't want to die, you wont, unless you've just completely neglected your stamina to the worst extent possible and are caught panting.
