Any information about how many equipment slots we have?
we lost pants and can only use one ring in game.
However fallout 3 had more slots than Oblivion even if it appeared to have more, various head, face, eyes slot, in addition to back and even piercing slots.

Now in Oblivion we only had tail as an extra equipment slot who was commonly used for capes, headbands and similar.
Skyrim should also have beard as a slot, downside is that this is hidden with full helmets, face paint might be another slot.

Hopefully some crafty modder can implement separate cuirass, pauldrons and greaves. Even better with separate left and right gloves/pauldrons, just like in Morrowind. The current single "armour" slot is just sad

Yes but the flexibility here is totally dependent on the number of hidden slots. Worse case we end up with tail who have a downside for beast races and beards who will disable beards and goes away with full helmets.
