Light...Medium...Or Heavy Armour?

What do you guys like? Personally I like Heavy armour, just beacuse i know where i can get full ebony and daedric sets... I have never explored light armours, but i think Glass is the best, or one of the best. I normally use the Lords Mail and Daedric. But does anyone else suggest a different armor type? If so, why?

Don't tell me where its at, let me explore for it as thats the only thing i have left to do before i start a new character.

Thanks for any suggestions

Whatever you like. If you're power-gaming heavy armor is the way to go, but light offers less weight on-the-hoof. Medium is good if you want a strategic challenge, since finding the good stuff is difficult (unless you note down exactly where to go). You might even want to consider light and medium/heavy: the former to train in agility, the latter in endurance. There aren't many skills that train up endurance. Lugging several hundred pounds' worth of armor certainly qualifies.

glass is nice but I dont really take a side when it comes to a type of armour Im always open to new types and I try to stay even when it comes to skill level with the armour but still Im open to new things I find, but so far I really havnt found a better medium than orcish wich reminds my of samuri armour.

I know what you mean by looks... i always go with the coolest looking shield/helm. Right now its the ebony closed helm and ebony tower shield. With Constant effect of night-eye. for that cool looking glow

The Ebony Tower Shield?

I believe it was in the telvanni vaults in vivec... if not, Redoran vaults... It's laying on a table.

Armors

Any of you guys been able to go to Mournhold and get yourself custom made armor, like admantium armor? Ebony armor is cool, but I think Dark brotherhood armor is perfect for assassination attempt. Useful if you are a member of Morag Tong. It's light armor and gives more protection then any average light armor in Vvardenfall. Admantium armor is medium armor. I haven't found any admantium ore, so I can't make a whole set. that would be very nice to have.

at heavy armour skill 100 (god bless slaughterfish and npc's with daggers and no magick) it is 200 armour rating, i think it weighs 26, but don't quote me on that. ghostgate is a place where you have to walk too only, but in the towers of dawn and dusk, there are nice (semi-)friendly ppl. (in the way that ordinators are only semi-friendly, not half of them are aggressive). it is on one of the desks, downstairs. in another room there is some lass armour +longsword to chav as well
