The armor you never used

I wear armor and clothing for looks, so if I want to wear fur, I'll wear fur.

I'm a big fan of rolling a stealth character without smithing. it gives me the freedom to wear whatever I want for roleplaying, and I still recieve the enjoyment of looting. One thing with smithing is that I created the best weapons and armor all the time... Wheres the fun in opening chests?

Ancient Nord and Dwarven.

AN was.. eh alright. It's stupid because it's treated as "Iron" even though you use STEEL to help make it! So you can only get it to Flawless, NOT Legendary. [censored].

This time around I actually used Banded Iron Armor for all of the game til I could make at least Dragonbone. It's actually not that bad of an armor.. much better then reg. Iron.

Dwarven I just gave to Lydia for better protection.. I myself never wore it.. ever. Same goes for Orcish..

Be KINDA weird being a NORD wearing DWARVEN and ORCISH armors... lmfao..

Some poeple may like their appearance, and with smithing improvements they can have a decent armor rating. You're complaining about having too many choices? Is your coin purse too heavy or what? Here, I have some beachfront property in Rorikstead to sell you...

I put on fur armor when I go into the mountains or when it's snowy out or it just seems colder than usual. It's not always about using the stuff with the best stats all the time. :P

This.

I wore fur and leather armor for the longest time, before going native and using forsworn. I wear a hood when it rains, and switch to something warm looking in the snow. My weapon is a forsworn bow. Even at lvl 43, I just don't feel the need or desire to wear or use the 'good' stuff, for armor and weapons.

I also carry a 'city' outfit (dress, boots and such), so I don't get strange looks when buying or selling in town.
