I think that you should have to have a decent strength stat to be able to wear armors from mansions/museums(cant remember their names) without them slowing you down or causing massive encumberence.

Well i think with low str you can not carry much in terms of weight.  
If you additionaly wear heavy armor you ll surely soon reach your capacity.  
Imo thats sufficient.
