I just stumbled across this statement from Todd (in reference to types of armor and weapons): "...Many of the classic Elder Scrolls ones return, but even something basic like "iron armor" gets a design and look that fits within the tone of the game and the environment of Skyrim. We do the art design with the assumption that the basic stuff was made in Skyrim, and the exotic stuff like Elven was made somewhere else."

Does anyone else think this is a pretty cool approach to armor design?

Definitely a good approach.

I'd like to see a mix of both when it comes to unique weapons and armour also.

well if they didn't, all armour in all the games would look the same.

This is from way back in March, dude. :facepalm:

But yes, this is cool.

Old article, didn't bother to read it, but I hope with all of my heart that they will impliment regional armour and more armour pieces to the game, like they did in Morrowind. And maybe the armour pieces could also have layers, from inner-wear to a furry coat covering the cold steel plates. Would be cool and it would defenately add complexion.

And some serious character possibility B) .

I do!

What would be cooler is if they had iron armor (with the same stats) that had different designs depending on which faction it belonged to
