Oh my goodness and - be still my beating heart - they have spears as a one-handed weapon which pair really well with shields (which cover their weaker block).

The number of games in which 'spear and shield guy' is not an option is staggering. It is, historically, the most common way to fight!
Finally, and most importantly, the breastplate-over-gambeson armor style from Pillars I and II is not just in the game, but, like, one of the first armors you get.

And it still looks good.
