Cheap remakes? The stuff in Karthspire or whatever you call that Akaviri ruin in the Reach is original Dragonguard armor. That gear sucks.

Sure, the Akaviri have all that.............

But they lack variety. When a million 2000 pound Khajiit come running at you, they are sure to smash through your lines. Some will die, but numbers matter. One man with Akaviri gear isn't going to beat twenty with malachite gear. And I doubt it cut's through Daedric Armor like scissors through paper. Yes it does, true Akaviri Katanas are made with magic not fire and have inherentant abilities, malachite is actually an alloy of copper which itself is quite weak unless aged to an extent. Game wise yes that gear sucks, but put it this way game statistics are completely different from lore, teh Karthspire gear also has aged considerably and expeditions to Akavir have not extended from a few milies from the shoreline and might I tactfully remind you the Dragonguard are in a war with the infamous Tsaeci?
