The Ultimate Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Thread

I am amused by the fact that you bothered to make a picture for that.

On topic, I like light armor way better. While Daedric armor does make you look like a boss, so does the Nightengale armor. Now that I went a looked at the trees, I have to agree that the light armor skill tree is way better. If you go heavy, you trade out stamina regen and damage avoid for less fall damage (which you shouldn't be taking anyways), less stagger which, face it, in the late game you just destroy everything before it can hit you, and reflected damage. I much prefer the light armor.

There's a shout to prevent fall damage, and I think you get it in the course of doing the main questline. Spending a perk seems like a waste.

The Nightengale armor does look awesome, and if you refine it, it has pretty good stats, but glass ended up even better, and there's a dragon one even better than that. TBH, full glass armor does give off the "I'm badass" vibe. The rediculous enchants I put on mine to back it up don't hurt.

I think the real thing to consider is that the heavy armor tree requires 3 extra perks spent to get full damage resistance and free movement.

Plus, all the heavy armor is more expensive to make.... oh wait, that's right, money isn't an issue. Nvm. With the for-mentioned AR cap it's almost pointless to have heavy armor in the end game. Daedric armor is insane to try to get until later in the game and it's really hard to farm Daedra hearts. The best light armor is made from dragons which are absurdly common. So even in rarity Light is way better.

My only complaint is that the enemies became incredibly boring after a while. I mean, sure, knights, wild animals, whatever, but a good 90% of the monsters were Draugers or Drauger variations. They could have really done something about that.

That is the exact reason why I can't play Skyrim to much. My only reprieve is when I find a dungeon with a dragon priest. That is an interesting fight. One of the only times I actually need to use a shout other than Dragonrend.

I just fought Falmer and Chaurus for the first time last night, and it was actually fairly challenging. I also made it to the Graybeards and joined the mage college.
