Any human being using a scythe would be at an extreme disadvantage because it only has one attack arc. Its just plain dumb.
Don't get me wrong, I am well versed in the scythe and it history. I can understand that, but you have to look at symbolism and esthetics too. This game (You have lost it) pulls a lot from mythos from various cultures and the symbol of death, as in the grim reaper here matches up with the idea of a DRK rather well. I don't think the DRG artifact armor is too practical by these same standards.
