Don't go through armour? Spears are a penetrating weapon that focus all of their force on a small point of impact, they have excellent penetrating power. And as for breaking? How weak do you think the wooden handles were. I can understand the tight caves and length issue to some extent, but 9/10 caves in skyrim are easily large enough to wield a spear. There is no good reason to not include spears- while they aren't absolutely needed, I think they would be a nice addition. And finally, I am seeing a lot of arguments about it being unrealistic. Skyrim features magic, elves, firebreathing dragons, demons, and the undead. I don't think realism is it's primary selling point...
