BuckeyeTiba Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 It's weird how the Elven armor actually looks heavy. So the nature of the armor, has nothing to do with how it looks, but by what material its made from? In Oblivion, armor was arranged like this:http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Glass_Armor#Light_Armor_Images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jermungand Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 it was confirmed by Todd or Pete that smithing only changes stats of weapons and armor. you can create armors and weapons but once finished they would look like any other iron sword or axe in game. ( or steel, based on whatever metal you use to make it). Where does he say "only"? In what context? Relative/pertinent to what? Unless the preceding question was, "Will the armor look different when upgraded?", this statement has no bearing on that dimension of the subject. there were a lot of talks about this and for awhile I thought the same .. I still have my fingers crossed they might do somethings like this in a mod but its not in the game .. todd has stated that they put a lot more work on the weapons and armors so when you find a unique one it will look different .. this might explain the "freak" amrors that have shown up .. or maybe they are just changes since the game isnt finished .. who knows .. but its not from smithing sadly :/ Oh, OK. Well that makes sense then. Thank you for clearing that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeTiba Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Which type of light armor is particularly better for stealth? I assume glass, mithril, and chainmail aren't really stealthy types of armor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natelovesyou Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) And why assume that elven is light, just because it was in Oblivion?The Skill menu in the QuakeCon video showed us descriptions on the skills: Heavy ArmorThose trained to use Heavy Armor make more effective use of Iron, Steel, Dwarven, Orcish, Ebony, and Daedric armors. Light ArmorThose trained to use Light Armor make more effective use of Hide, Leather, Elven, and Glass armors. Link. I really wish there were "thinner" (light armor) and also "thicker" (heavy armor) versions of every material. It would make a lot of sense, though I suppose it could also lend to some confusion...

Jermungand Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 And why assume that elven is light, just because it was in Oblivion?Why? Because the Skill menu in the QuakeCon video said so. That's why. Heavy ArmorThose trained to use Heavy Armor make more effective use of Iron, Steel, Dwarven, Orcish, Ebony, and Daedric armors. Light ArmorThose trained to use Light Armor make more effective use of Hide, Leather, Elven, and Glass armors. Link. Dude, we settled the matter with the Elven armor, like... fifteen posts ago. I've GOT it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
