Which brings me to a bit of a narrative pet peeve. I understand the chained together was the narrative reason for the game play mechanic of why your four guys cant split up. But on some level it still sort of irks me. Especially when by end game I had a Minotaur that could have easily busted some chains. So I get it from a mechanics reasoning point of view but story wise it just bugs me for some reason.

If you think that's a problem, I have one word for you to ponder:

Pants.

You are clothed in rags if you read the manual. So I did not find that to be a huge issue. Though it would have been nice to start with rags as gear.

You didn't get my point.
You find more clothes in the dungeon.
Including..
pants.

They been tossing people down there for ages I am surprised you don't find more. Maybe even a dress.

You're still not following me.
So I'll just spell it out for you.

How on Earth do you put on pants with shackles on?!

Um... from the intro it looks like only your hands are shackled. So not seeing the issue here.

But now that I think about it... How do you get chest armor on with shackled hands... or fight for that matter?

Well if I had three friends to cushion my fall I'd most likely get to the end of the game and die from something stupid, probably just a pit. Whats great is that I played the game so I have a slight chance of survival.
