Deleted41229045User Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Ok, I know this is kinda an old topic, but I just started playing skyrim last Christmas, so cut me some slack.On many videos which have watched about skyrim, many of them have the dovahkiin wearing the daedric armor set, and weapons as well. I have been wondering ever since, why is daedric set better than dragon when the armor stats is actually superior, and I just figured the answer not too long ago. Skyrim's armor rating Capps at around 560something, anything above is useless, it will still only offer 80% resistance, therefore when daedric armor is capable to be smithed above that value, it is better than the dragon bone set due to it being lighter. However, if the player has the vanilla perk which turns the armor worn weigh 0, then this is ultimately a matter of personal taste. But for daedric weapons tho, dragon bone weapons in this case are still better, as there is no limit to the damage.I am sure that some of you also had the same question like I did, and I hope this explanation is clear for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Pretty sure lots of people just dont like the look of vannila dragon bone and other long time ES people prefer it due to nostalgia. I wouldnt know though as i only ever use light armor and quickly cap out my over all armor rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeofaTsavo Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) It is so easy to over cap any armor in this game with smithing enchants/potions. Wear what you like the look of. You could not run fast enough to try and give me Vanilla Daedric or Dragonbone. Hideous looking junk. I've replaced all of the vanilla meshes for both sets, weapons included, from my game as a matter of fact.

TheDungeonDweller Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 As the others have said, you can reach the 567 AR cap with any armor, even Fur armor. So it's all about what looks best to you. The only edge in stats Dragonbone has over Daedric is the weapons. Base AR though, Daedric is the best in the game. I personally like the look of Daedric Armor, makes me look really menacing.
