Metal armor would be of a great benefit to anyone wearing it in winter weather conditions because underneath the armor are layers of other peices of clothing and in some places even more armor, so writing METAL in all caps is pointless.

Despite Skyrim being homeland of the Nords, who have a high natural resistance to frost/cold (50% so those blizzards feel more like a cool breeze in the early spring :p ), you do have a point about half naked people running around. This is really just a problem with the light armors made from animal skins, but of all the varients, a fully insulated version isn't out there. That does seem at least a little odd.

Weather effects I could see, but I'd rather have things like seasons and foot prints in snow (like in the video) or rain and snow that don't go through solid objects. Those are my immersion breakers...that and not being able to change your hair style, I mean really I only get one hair cut for my entire existance?
