One thing I hate about light armor.

[BimboGooch]

Just a small complaint. But one thing I hate about using light armor is how you get one of the better sets in the game usually with in 20-30 minutes of a playthough.

Are you talking about the Dark Brotherhood armor?

Show restraint and don't use it if it is such a big problem.

The thing is that in Morrowind it is not hard to get good items within a short time of playing.

You can obtain several high powered items, weapons and armor, if you know what you are doing.

You can steal the Sword of White Woe from Balmora, which is an Ebony sword.

You can go to Gnaar Mok while doing the escort quest for the Boots of Blinding Speed and then enter Illunibi and obtain the Fists of Randagulf and a Bell Hammer at level 1.

You can take the boat to Solstheim and get the one handed sword Shadowsting from the barrel near Thirsk along with other goodies and find several Nordic weapons around Thirsk and Skaal Village that you can sell for 1K each to the Scamp Creeper in Caldera then buy Glass Armor in Ghostgate.

You can find a partial set of Glass Armor on a dead guy near Dagoth Ur.

You can obtain a Daedric dagger and spear from Berandas, in addition to the Boots of the Apostle.

You can obtain a few Ebony weapons worth 8-20K, a Daedric God Mask and Daedric Hammer from an easy quest found in Vivec.

You can even obtain the Armor of the Saviors Hide at level 1, which is far better than the Dark Brotherhood armor.

There are probably a ton of other examples. It is very easy to obtain powerful items in the game with very little effort.

The Dark Brotherhood armor isn't really going to break the game. If you think it is too strong just drop it somewhere and wait until you think it is fair to use it.

And I thought I was a fan boy, I usually dont wear it till around level 15-20. I know how the game works I have been playing it since it came out. usually I can become pretty op with in 30 minutes. This was just a comment.

It sounded more like a complaint to me, Infact you even pointed it out as such.

[BimboGooch]

A complaint is a comment, infact I said it was a small one.

[Nadlug]

And thats justification to call someone a fanboy for politely responding to a complaint about something that is a complete non-issue?

[BimboGooch]

I mean you are a fan boy. I said it politely.

[Nadlug]

Thers no such ting as a polite insult, no matter how minor the insult is. :P

Not to mention Lord's Mail and Dragonbone Cuirass. Both in the water in/just outside Ebonheart, respectively. It's always been like a ritual for me to get the Lord's Mail at level 1 on normal difficulty and I *think* I managed the Dragonbone Cuirass at level one on a Breton character... Fyi, these cuirasses are tied for the top 3 best rated armour (the other being the Ebony Mail, my fave) in the game. Dragonbone Cuirass is even 100% fireproof!

Thing is, in Morrowind starting out, good gear just makes stuff a bit easier, but it won't necessarily save you. The game even tells you that - the ones to watch don't NEED the gear to kill you (or words to that effect).

TL;DR Listen to the other guy. Refrain from using, or just... Y'know... Get on with it...
I always preferred Morrowind's exploration anyway; you might actually find something unique in that tomb in the distance... Unlike Oblivion and Skyrim where they just chucked generic levelled crap at you.

The real problem with light armor is that you have no proper progression. You just have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ stuff (Netch/Boiled Netch/ Nordic Fur/Bearskin armor), one decent beginner set (chitin), and then you're already at th endgame stuff like Glass armor or the Dark Brotherhood armor.

Compare that to Heavy Armor, where you have Iron, Steel, Dwarven, Ebony, and Daedric, all being progressively better than the previous one.

That, and you pretty much have to go out of your way to get a full set of netch fur or skin armor where almost as a full set of chitin is avalible in seyda neen and the remaining pieces are in Balmora among other places.

Dress to look cool. Full netch leather with the boiled chest piece looks good. Armor values are for suckers.

[nerevarine.hortator]

That's why I don't wear a helmet...

Disable the DLC's while playing, once you finish the main quest (or feel ready to move from Vvanderfell) then enable the DLC you want to play, Bloodmoon or Tribunal (Which contains the assassins with those high-end light armors)

[Valden21]

There's also armor skill to consider. If you're good with heavy or medium armor, but bad with light armor, a set of high-rating light armor could actually be potentially worse then a lower-rating set of the kind of armor in which your character is skilled. So it's not just the quality of the armor that matters, it's also how good your character is with it.

[Loligo Vulgaris]

Yeah unless you get a full set of glass armor from the start all other light armors are outclassed by heavier armors at low level.
