I think the idea of fighting unarmored but still getting a bonus as if you are wearing an armor is silly. What would be the point in spending your hard-earned septims on armor in the first place, if you can simply go out in your birthday-suit, get carved up, and somehow have your skin harden to metallic levels from the experience?

I actually prefer how it was in Oblivion in that case, with no skill for fighting unarmored. If you get stabbed, the steel enters your body no matter HOW much practice you had at fighting nvde. Fighting unarmored should be based on NOT getting hit!
Same goes for those who wear armor too, but I guess gameplay-wise, it would be more important for unarmored characters.
If you want to fight unarmored, there should be perks for it based around evasive moves.
Hated it in Morrowind when a naked character with high Unarmored skill would resist damage better than if he put a bloody steel armor on. Made sense much?

Plus, reflective metal is hardly ideal if you wish to sneak around.

Hes saying the first one was silly and sounded stupid.

The socond is stating a fact that someone would say when asked a question.

I bet they will do one armor skill with perks for light/heavy specialization. Makes a lot more sense than two distinct skills, and it goes along with their weapon streamlining strategy. A pure stealth character shouldn't need armor anyway, so there's no good reason to have the light armor skill under the stealth banner. If you're getting benefit of using armor, then you are in combat
