Light...Medium...Or Heavy Armour?

[QUOTE=Anonononomous]There's not really much, if any, good reason to have high ratings in all the armors. You're only going to wear one, so you should put other skills in the major/minor section.

I just wear it all at the same time some heavy, light and medium to keep it norm.

Hey, your call. I was a big spear user one game, so endurance got up that way and I got trained in heavy and medium. In my latest game I had the helm of Oreyn Bearclaw, so that helped too.

I enjoy Unarmoured because then I have good mobility, and along with Athletics as a Minor, I can move at a nice speed, I need the extra space in my inventory to alchemical ingredients anyway

Also, I love choosing a new outfit everyday

Any of you who favor Light armor, an Argonian in Tel Vos stronghold is wearing Glass Armor from head to toe. I don't know if it's complete, but you guy should go and check it out. Try to kill him or something. He's all spiked of glass & it look so cool.

For a complete glass armour, go to {highlight ->Ghostgate, in one of the lower levels of one of the towers is a Glass smith, you can steal a whole set of Glass Armour from him easily, I did it when I was at lvl. 2 and my sneak was 5, I know its cheesy, but I was so happy when I found it, and that's also why I got bored of her at lvl. 4 !<-highlight}

Im not sure which one it is, but I think its the one more west, thus meaning left

That would be the tower of Dusk. But there's not only set of glass armor in the tower. Only one person sells it maybe, but at least four persons living in the tower wears it. Three of them are in the lower levels of the tower and one awaits on the highest level. Note: They all miss the glass helm but one of them has the Face of Terror and another the Face of God. Of course, they are daedric and therefor heavy so that's too bad.

But also none of them are wearing glass bracers, and those you can only get from the glass smith in Ghostgate, and from Mournholds armourer, the one thats in an resditial building in the Great Bazaar.

You stand correct, they don't wear the bracers. And it was the Face of Inspiration, not God.

what is the best glass armor in your oppinion

Anonononomous · Post by **Anonononomous** » Sun Aug 08, 2004 9:19 pm

Uh, glass armor is glass armor. There are no types of it.

Maruchan · Post by **Maruchan** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 8:55 am

now if you build your armour (if even possible) is it better

lifeishell91 · Post by **lifeishell91** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 10:38 am

You can have glass srmour made for you in Mournhold, you just need enough pieces of Glass and enough money to pay the Smith, but it is exaclty the same either way, if you found it or had it made...

Maruchan · Post by **Maruchan** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 11:59 am

is it all the same no matter if it is made or not

There is also a Daedric Face of Terror (Daedric Helmet) on one of the Bouyant Armigers downstairs behind a door (the door is not locked).

I like the combination of armors it just looks different. its all your choice right? well the different combos wok to raise all my skills, i have the xbox version and not game of the year which pisses me off but hey. i got really bored so im working on all the skill tring to get 100 in everything dont know if i can. but i can barely get hit wearing light armor. glass if far by the best light armor i can think of. orcish = the samurai, and ebony armor.i dont know why anyone would want to be unarmored.

In a situation, when you have killed all the smugglers in a cave, & you want to carry home as much as you can, Unarmoured is the one to choose.

Different situations demands different skills.

Thing is, Unarmored doesn't absorb anywhere near the damage that a good light or heavy suit of armor does in the game. So while it's nice to have all that extra carrying ability to handle the loot after a battle, the problem is staying alive long enough within the battle if you're not wearing any armor.

There's a mod that helps--Dodge--which together with Unarmored, gives you a decent chance of evading blows and roleplaying a "pure mage," or a contortionist.

But in the later stages of the game, without any mods, the only way Unarmored can help is if you don't use it, in my opinion: rain damage at a distance, preferrably from mid-air. Light Armor is preferrable to Unarmored in the unmodded game.
