Yeah - my point with plate was essentially that you're carrying a helluva extra load. The hampered movement wouldn't be so much from the armor itself being clunky but from not being trained to move with it on which, SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH, isn't exactly the most known skill in the world.
Kind of if you stuck a strong person with the modern day equivalent. It'd take some time before they can be at 100% while wearing the equipment, but it's no fault of the equipment itself.
Also, another funny thing is that NPCs don't wear armor often, even those that are on duty. I can count the Sultansworn, some adventurers and that's it. Not even the Grand Companies do.
