i agree with someone elses idea, that the armor should be broken down into more parts, like helmet, visor, chest plate, shoulder pads, under layer e.g chain etc and then you can merge all of the different parts into one set of armor that takes one slot in your inventory, then as you progress through the game you can add or remove parts as you want, obviously the more you have the slower you are, but it would allow for a wider variety of armor kits.
also i'd like to be able to put emblems or symbols on your armor and shields etc and bandits in one group or guards will have there own designs, kinda like the guards do in TES IV but so they can be using better armor and not be stuck with the chain and steel.
