Does it make a difference what type of armour you wear? I mean by the weight of it and stuff. I timed myself running between two different points with heavier armour on and no armour on but I couldnt notice anything... Sure there must be a difference though or there's no point having light versions of armour

Well, one rather obvious point is that heavier armor weighs more and hence reduces how much loot you can haul;around. With "junk" having a purpose, I constantly find myself over-encumbered as it is and I'm just wearing leathers.

Yeah I figured that one, just wondered if there was any other type of difference that can influence which one to choose
