rounded shoulders, do you mean the pauldrens, if so then I can offer an explanation, armor at the joints is really hard to weigh

I'm not against variety at all, yet I think the categories that suffice for armour (and their sub-types) would be Heavy, Light and Unarmored. I can understand these three ways of considering armour in one's build, but I fail to see how much value Medium would add in terms of fighting philosophy (so, pls, I am not here to bash at those who favor it, just trying to understand why).

Heavy is pretty clear, you're gonna take loads of hits in heavy metal situations and want to absorb most if not all of it.
Light means that you wanna take a more careful approach to situations with potential confrontational outcomes, but be ready to have some protection if caught unprepared or if, well, all hell breaks loose.
Unramored means you will rely on the efficiency that your attacks will cause so that you do not have to face direct combat, but that in emergencies you are able to make the best of your natural Agility and Speed to protect you somehow.

I wouldn't mind having new armor in the game. I wouldn't mind some armor returing from Morrowind like the Bone Armor.

I'd like to see viking style armour and most of the armours frome the other games.

I don't want armour as a skill/s. However, I do want EVERY bit of clothing to count as armour, to some degree. I'd bebetter off being punched through a thick shirt than directly, so even something that minor should have some effect.

It would be nice if there could be a wide variety of armors. Something around the Fallout New Vegas range. 'Twould be most excellent.

not bad but i dont like the idea of medium version of daedric and ebony. they should just make 2 aditional awesome medium and unique armor types
