malachite is a semi precious stone (A green rock for jewellery That is not very hard) Skyrim's malachite mimicks its apearance (swirling patterns, colour, texture) and so is meant to be malachite. morrowind had RAW GLASS and the glass was made of GLASS (of no relation to normal glass, as explained in numerous books) . Corundum Is Crystalline and like diamond in many ways.

Glass armour is 90% moonstone with 10% malachite- No glass at all . Why am i putting Diamonds into my iron armour or ingots? Surely corundum armour would be extrelemely common due to it's low cost and hardness second to diamond?

(and while i understand the introduction of dwarven metal and moonstone i still have no clue on why Oricish armour has it's own material. I can't realy believe that People thought that they were superior smiths when all they did was use a material that others were too stupid to use. ) Perhaps it did not appear on their menus? Like how the player cannot make ebony jewellery and gets knowledge from perks-yet-not-everything-is-covered-by-perks



We can all agree that fur, iron and nordic steel armours look great. (the shouldered variants are debatable) and scaled/ steel plate look fairly decent. But as for the other armours.. everyone can disagree

Elven is probably my favourite, although some might not like it (i question the helmet) and the weapons are hit and miss
Dwarven looks too bulky and simple in some areas yet inefficient , but some might like it
I miss samurai orcish, but skyrim orcish is not terrible.. just bad.
Glass armour disgusts me. Firstly There is no glass upon it. Secondly It bends horribly, finally.... Yuck. Slightly better on men but only because i hate sixualised armour. There is not a thing i like about it. Id much prefer morrowind glass with a modern polly size and texture. The two handed weapons are pretty decent.. that's all i can give it..
Ebony.. I dislike the pauldrons and design for most of the weapons. It's clearly elvish and so looks out of place in the places you find it.
Daedric- would probably have looked decent without the pauldrons . Looks out of place in most places you go- maybe the glow could have been dremora specific?
