Armour types

[Aurore]

Is there a reason to wear lighter armour? I am playing as a mage build, and as far as I can tell heavier armour doesnt cause me any problems.

yes

If you wear enough heavy armor, you use 100% extra mana to cast spells. So not very good for mages.

Skill in the sphere + talents reduce that and general mana cost. Likewise, fights aren't long enough for it to ever be a factor.

Hopefully different types of armour has an impact on Sneak ability just like in TES and Fallout games with future updates.

with this do you mean faster charging or slower. cause slower would make sence but wording sounds like you cast faster.
