» Tue Jul 16, 2013 5:11 pm So... I'm bored and decided to try a little experiment out. The subject of Heavy armor vs Light armor is very much subjective as the armor cap can be achieved for both ultimately. That, and personal opinions, tastes, role-plays, etc. all factor in the decision for the individual.
Anyway, I wanted to pit the Ebony Warrior against a tough opponent, and decided to make a counter-part worthy of the ordeal...

Yes, it's a bosmer.

The most bad-ass Bosmer in Skyrim

You can see his height in comparison to a Nord and a Spriggan Earth Mother. He's shorter than the Ebony Warrior in the same exact respective way that a male Bosmer is shorter than a Redgaurd male. But he's taller than an Altmer(lol supremacy) and a Dremora.
Testing him out...

Why Bosmer? Because I want to see a 8'7ft Wood Elf kick some ass, that's why. Not Altmer because they're already tall and have had their share of bad-ass warriors, and not Dunmer because they were and still pretty much are more overrated than Nords. So, Wood Elf avatar of Trinnimac it is. Deal with it.
Rundown:
As you can see, he's not a carbon copy with different armor. I changed some of the spells around. So instead of frost cloak, he uses lightning. I also removed the heavy armor perks, and replaced them with their exact Light armor counter-parts. The weapon and armor enchantments are the EXACT same. The vanilla leveled list does not have an 05 variant of enchantments for Glass as it does for Ebony. If the Ebony Warrior wins 5 out of 5 rounds, I will create an exact replica of the 05 ranked enchantments for Glass to try and compensate. This will prove real interesting with the Ebony Warrior's "reflect blows" vs. the Glass Warrior's "deft movement"
Reflect Blows: 10% chance to reflect melee damage back to the enemy while wearing all Heavy Armor: head, chest, hands, feet.
VS.
Deft Movement: 10% chance of avoiding all damage from a melee attack while wearing a matched set of Light Armor.
Also... The Ebony Warrior is supposed to summon Storm Atronachs in battle. what prevents him, ironically, is the "elemental potency" perk... It's bugged with everyone, and it's clear that - as usual - Bethesda needs to hire better testers who actually TEST. 
I removed elemental potency, and now the Ebony Warrior summons Storm atronachs as he should. To spice things up, I gave the Glass Warrior the ability to summon Flame Atronachs as they serve the same utility(range support).
As you can see in those pics, I did some preliminary testing with the Glass Warrior against the unfortunate wild-life resting in a grove I just happened to decide to CHIM spawn him in. The Spriggan Earth Mother and three bears proved no match.
I then went further and spawned 5 Draugr Death Overlords(3 one-handed, 2 twohanded), and like his Ebony counter-part, the Glass Warrior wiped the floor with them. He looks promising. 
I'm open to comments and suggestions. locations, scenarios, whatever, lay it on me. I unfortunately do not have access to recording equipment, but I'm sure many of you have seen my pics, and know that I take adequate pics to give an acceptable idea of the show-down.
Please share your thoughts. If you would like me to make any changes/additions to the Glass Warrior's spells/perks/stats/whatever, or you have any suggestions, do share. I will consider them.
*Do not turn this into a civil war debate, or a 500 companion/Night of Tears debate, or whatever else could possibly de-rail this thread. Feel fee to talk about the Ebony Warrior, and/or come up with crazy lore theories on who the Glass Warrior could be. I will begin the first batch of rounds tomorrow.
