Anybody knows how armor skills (light or heavy) affects armor rating? F.e. I have summ of the armor pieces rating = 15. Now what final rating would I have if my armor skill is 10 or 20 or 90?
Another question: does armor skill affect for what is displayed to me for the current armor piece rating? F.e. I know from the strategy guide that leather shield should have armor rating 7.5. But when I look at that shield in inventory, I see 3 instead. Light armor skill is about 8.
Have set light armor skill and blade skill to 100 both using console. Found that when apropriate skills are 100, values of the armor AR and weapon damage are equal to the values printed in strategy guide. But seems dependency of the AR/damage from the skills is not linear.
