Elf [censored] is heavy : V - Skyrim

The Dwemer made Dwarven (Obvisouly)I'm not sure what the Bosmer made.The Altmer made Elven, well sort of.Dumer made Ebony and Glass armour and weaponsHumans made Fur Armour, Leather Armour, Hide Armour, Steel, Iron and a few other things.Daedra made Daedric, Amber and Madness armour and weapons.I'm not too sure who made Mithril, probably Dwemer or Bosmer.

Conjurors, not Daedra, made Daedric armor and weapons. The daedra had about as much role in creating Daedric armors as Deer have in making Deerskin Jerkins.Bosmer make Fur armor. It's all they know how to make. They may have also made Dragon Bone and Scale armor designs, due to them making everything out of animal bits.

Dunmer should get the credit for Daedric, too. Since we made it's ebony base.

Why would anyone use anything less than Daedric?

Because some people have yet to find any Daedric. I'm level 41 and have only found a hand full of arrows.

I lol'd.

Either way, are you sure elven stuff in this game is actually supposed to be like that or are you just assuming based on lore from other universes like DnD and Lord of the Rings?

I have a phonetic mind, sometimes it gets overlooked. Good point that TES has an original lore, but the armor is made from moonstone, how much could that weigh?

Looks, RP, personal preference, etc. why must people thing the only thing you can and should do is get the "best" equipment.

Elven weapons might be heavier, but elven armor is the lightest armor in the game. (Not that it matters after you get the weightless perk...)

@Snaketallica

Because Dragonscale Armor + Forsworn Bow + Ancient Nordic Arrows looks awesome!

It says in the collectors edition concept srt book that demons forged deadric weapons and armor not conjurors

Elven gear is Aldmer design that the Altmer have continued (The Ayleids used to use the design as well, until Pelinal Whitestrake got sick of those [censored] elves on this [censored] continent and sent them all packing to Oblivion): Bosmer and Dunmer aren't "True" elves to the "High" elves.

Also, encumberance isn't just weight: it also factors in volume and general awkwardness to carry. Elven swords and daggers are too high-class to be caught hanging about in the same part of your pack as your lesser, man-made gear - hence, they encumber you more.

OR

The swords are actually light, but their attitude makes them a pain to carry.

If they are made by Altmers, the second option is more probable.
