i prefer playing characters who would side with the imperial legion, as well as playing heavy armored warriors, i do wish there was some heavy armor to find during the tutorial if you decide to follow hadvar.

it seems to me that the only heavy armor you can find is if you follow the stormcloak, and ironically enough, its imperial armor. but theres no heavy armor if you follow the imperial.

Uh, you've got 50 levels to go, minimum. No heavy armor available in the first <1%? Hardly seems a worthy gripe.

You can follow Ralof and still join the imperial legion, you know.

What happens in Helgen stays in Helgen, there are no reprecussions from following Hadvar or Ralof. I tend to follow Ralof because there is more loot to be had.

Is the captain's armour heavy?

On the other hand if you want two-handed weapons your best bet is following the Imperials since it tends to be the Stormcloaks who have these at least in Helgen.

I believe there is an Imperial commander that you can kill, who wears heavy armour which you can then steal.

There's an

Kdodds, I didn't say it was a "worthy" gripe, just a "wish". I didn't say Beth svcks cuz of it.

Also I am aware of full heavy armor when following the stormycloaks

Plus regardless of who you support in the war, you can't deny that the Imperial Captain is an utter [censored] that deserves to be killed.

One of the bandits outside Bleak Falls Barrow should have one. You'll only have to face a few wolves(w/ Hadvar) and 1 or 2 bandits.

Did they forget to give the Stormcloaks heavy armour or something?

stormcloaks don't use any type of heavy armor at all. it's all light armor

It really doesn't matter since you can make up for it at Alvor's smithy.

You can still kill them without repercussions, I did for their 2h weapon. Ralof didn't mind
