superxmikey Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hey folks I haven't been able to find anywhere that states that you get a penalty for wearing heavy/light armor as a mage. I wear armor and check under effects, but I don't see any penalties. Obviously, wearing armor rather than robes with mana regen isn't really smart, but I want to use a shield or wear boots with resists on them. Anyone know if there are magic/casting penalties for wearing armor (like oblivion)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOutlander Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Nope, there is no penalties for wearing armour as a mage in Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Also have you noticed that there is no Staff on your back like Oblivion does, it feels all wrong??? Once you put it away it disappears?? Edited November 14, 2011 by Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soot00 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 No penalties. It's the individual players choice on how difficult they want the game to be. In other words don't tell this board how much a bad arse you are playing in master difficulty when you wearing full plate casting destruction spells, lol. My 2nd toon is going pure mage. He will be wearing nothing higher than robes / clothing. No lockpicking, weapons, or shields Straight spellcaster using mage staffs only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddimus Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It's fine if you can get some of that plate enchanted with 40% mana regen. Though, the benefits of an average armor rating are pretty weak it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
