I dont care personally, but I honestly cant see the point in it? Why would you get an armor rating when your wearing a robe? Its not very realistic IMO...

or at least a boost in unarmored defense from other skills perks.

I'll go with this.

Because it would be a passive representation of the actions and skills of your character - that is what "game play mechanics" usually means. They need a whay to measure your character abilities in numbers, this is one of the ways of doing that..

I think their should be a seperate system entirely to not confuse defense with dodging.

Like......the magic failures you had in Morrowind can be similary implemented for melee and ranged attacks against unarmed fighting opponenets.
