Skyrim needs medium armor! : V - Skyrim

No, as I said before, they'd be combined into a mediocre set of armor that really has no point. You want stealth or fast movement, light would still be your best choice. You want to take a hit, you go with heavy. Medium in such a system would be good at neither and offer no benefits of it's own, rendering it rather pointless. For it to have any actual benefits or real use, the gear system would need an overhaul. Which I also said earlier.

Ok, explain to me your idea on a system redesign and I will let you know if I agree, because I cannot think of it affecting anything other than stamina consumption, armor rating, and less noise than heavy.

To the people against medium armor, how does its inclusion negatively affect you?

Cloth
Light
Medium
Heavy
Bulked

I think they should be the armour classes, with only one skill for them: Armoured.
Within that tree, you have trees of perks which could be beneficial to one or many of the different armour classes.
Like a sprinting tree or a muffle tree, maybe a better armour condition tree etc. you know, the usual stuff.

But yes, I would have liked more armour types so that I wouldn't be mooched into a specific choice of playstyles.

I have tried to state something similar to this here.
