User blog comment:Blood Reaper/Skyrim Dragon Armor/@comment-4577389-20111107045007

I really hope that, in general, armor is a lot less prominent in Skyrim. Just think: in real life wearing leather or steel or whatnot is going to hinder you a lot more than it would help you in battle. In actual medieval times, hardly anybody wore armor on the battlefield, and those that did were the highly skilled 'tank' types. Granted, enchanted or 'special' stuff like Mithril is a definite acception. I just think that your success in combat should be determined more by your actual abilities than how thick your armor is.
