Are there any lore reasons for equipping Exotics?
Not sure if this is something I’ve missed all this time, but is it ever explained why we can only equip 1 Exotic weapon and armour piece?
Obviously, it’s to stop us being even more powerful, but is this throttling given a lore-style explanation?
I’ve just always attributed it to us all having the same spacesuit (which is why we can always breathe despite whatever planet or moon we’re on) and that the armour we use in game simply attaches to it. And when it comes to attaching exotics to the suit, it requires more power to operate, hence only being able to equip one exotic piece of each.

6 RepliesLore-wise, probably not so much. There are two Felwinter Warlock exotics which probably indicates he wore them simultaneously and Osiris looks like he is wearing about 3 of them if you count ornaments: Dawn Chorus/Sunbracers/Lunafaction Boots. Our canonical Guardian is powerful but technically we are more of an anomaly rather than being stronger than our NPC counterparts. Osiris couldn't account for us in his simulations, Elsie didn't have any changes to her multiverse trip until she met us, both the Emissary and Savathun hinted at our ability with the 4th wall, etc.
