In Oblivion I was extremely disappointed by the lack of any Bracers. Orcish gauntlets were about as close as we got, plus the few sets of Leather ones. I've always like Bracers as I like my hands to be exposed for mist of my characters. I semi-roleplay, so my thieves and assassins would like the dexterity provided, and I've never liked casting magic through gauntlets (that one is just a personal peeve).

Personally I would like Bethesda to include more Bracers in Skyrim, as well as gauntlets.

I wouldn't have a problem although I would want them to look better then the Leather Bracers that we have in Oblivion.

Maybe you could use bracers to block?

As long as we have both I'm fine. That is to say, I wouldn't want to have only bracers for a certain armor type. 'Cause I prefer gauntlets

More... of everything ! Except wood elves. [censored] wood elves.

Nah. I don't care about braces. Most of my character's teeth are pretty straight anyway.

I like the idea of more armor and variants of existing armor.
So yeah, bracers all around!!

I completely agree! Morrowind had a nice variation of bracers and gauntlets, and with quite a few armors you could even choose between both. I'd like to see that happen again. ^_^

Why the hell not, though gloves that aren't armour at all would be more useful to my characters.

I can't help but think that bracers look "Conan". Perhaps some with spikes. :lmao:
