yeah i was tempted to had the armor hanging off a special arm mount but then that would have be blatant... the forearm shield pops off, and its powered armor so you wouldn't feel the extra weight...but yeah it can get in the way...
hmm true...yeah, that is most likely the last guy i draw with forearm armor attachments... i need to do three more power armor designs and 6 regular armor pieces... i think i'll get it all sorted out by then... Thanks for the input, it all helps.
The possible solutions I can think of offhand:
No two-handed weapons--shouldn't be difficult to hold steady since it's power armour.
Or as I said, at the back to be used when needed for additional cover.
