Dual Wielding Warrior: Heavy or Light Armor?

It's a hard decision. On the one hand- protection. On the other- stamina regeneration.


What do you guys think?

Try one weapon which is enchanted with a fear spell. Whack em with fear, they'll run off and cower, while you hack away with your aggressive weapon of choice in the other hand.

i have been playing a light dual wielder on hard mode. low survivabiliy and short range without block make fights quite tough as levels increase, you have to position yourself so that enemies hinder each other, and use shouts to control the pace and positioning. perfect power attacks are crucial. you will possibly need a good store of health potions and some emergency poisions. of course this is great fun, but can be difficult. if you just wanna wade in and hack slash through without worrying so much about tactics then go heavy.

i have also levelled other skills mind, if you just focus on 1 hand and light armor you might have an easier time

Is there an advantage to this build? Or is it just a fun Challenge/Roleplaying?

No inherent advantage i don't think. I seem to gain levels faster than my friend who is playing a mage. I just chose it for roleplaying a lotr ranger type character
