The way he just crosses his arms every time he stops moving makes it so much better

[alim-xfwz]

There is one perk in heavy armor that make you no longer slower and make heavy armor weightless while wearing it.

[jeremymossi]

The problem with this statement is that in the Vanilla game most enemies have perfect tracking on their attacks and wonky hit boxes.

[kamixakadio]

There is no real difference between Light and Heavy, except a couple of things. Both will be weightless when it's leveled high enough.
Light armor gives you faster stamina regen
Heavy armor gives you Half falling damage and increased Unarmed attacks based on Gauntlets armor rating
Both have a 10% chance based ability for their lvl 100 perk, where Light armor has 10% chance to avoid all damage, but Heavy armor has 10% chance to Deflect all damage.
All in all, visual designs aside, for endgame, Heavy armor is overall better when you look into it, unless you got mods to change the perk trees completely.

[Phanteist]

Cool now do it in a small cave passage with over 7 draugh deathlords hitting you at once

[Nerobyrne]

The best defense against an attack is to not be there when it lands.

I love how the giant turns to peak around that ruin after running away

[daniel_diaz]

Nothing beats the Ebony mail and the Masque of Clavicus Vile. Straight drip.

[DFireWind]

The giant hiding behind the stone was so cute

[cdrunner]

That’s one thing I loved about Ultimate Combat is that enemies have the ability to flee.

[singsingmei]

This looks like every kungfu movie where the hero tries to beat his shifu, and his shifu just stand there mocking him.

[GamingPhyco-bg]

I love both armors. Light makes you fast and quiet, and heavy makes you an immovable wall. But heavy is my personal fav especially since you can make it fast and quiet like light but you get extra protection👍

[defectpawn]

The only bit about armor that matters is the 10% avoid or reflect chance. Physical defense caps at 540 or 80% reduction.

[Primo_Luca]

To be honest, I've never felt that armor in Skyrim made that much of a difference in terms of damage mitigation, especially in the higher difficulties where enemies hit you with the power of the sun.

Better to stay nimble and learn to defend yourself with dodging and other techniques.

*Swings hammer*
"Must've been the wind."

[Dr.Dankerson]

It’s actually a mod that causes npcs attacks to not lock onto you.

[elpenguinotierno]

As a fan of heavy amor I have to disagree since you can unlock the perk on lvl 70 which makes heavy armor weigh nothing while wearing plus it doesnt slow you down. However it is also a choice of playstyle.

Your character looks freaking cool btw! Real badass Dragonborn 😎

[pirulitomaldito]

The best mod that balance defence is "True armor", the balanced settings in the mod + ordinator makes both armors useful and unique

[MrFantocan]

Yeah, until you find an enemy that can actually hit you and you fly to the skies with one hit from a MUDCRAB.

[watchinginaz]

It really comes down to what aesthetic you prefer for your character. Just commit to one or the other early so you can level up your light/heavy armor skill.
