On the subject of mechanical limbs I've always been rather wary of interacting with characters that claim to be 'disabled' in some way, shape or form. A few pull it off tastefully, but the majority don't. If a character is blind, deaf or missing limbs then it shouldn't make them more powerful as a result. It's not a character flaw or a disadvantage if the character ends up being better off - which I suspect is a major reason as to why there's quite the aversion to characters with mechanical limbs that just so happen to be even more skilled at archery or combat than their peers who are still fully intact.
It's the same with characters who are depicted as having scars on almost every inch of their body and yet are somehow meant to be considered as strong and capable combatants. Chances are if you've been struck enough times in combat that your hide is one big canvas of scars you're probably not that good of a fighter.
