Thing is, Unarmored doesn't absorb anywhere near the damage that a good light or heavy suit of armor does in the game. So while it's nice to have all that extra carrying ability to handle the loot after a battle, the problem is staying alive long enough within the battle if you're not wearing any armor.

There's a mod that helps--Dodge--which together with Unarmored, gives you a decent chance of evading blows and roleplaying a "pure mage," or a contortionist. But in the later stages of the game, without any mods, the only way Unarmored can help is if you don't use it, in my opinion: rain damage at a distance, preferrably from mid-air. Light Armor is preferrable to Unarmored in the unmodded game.
