Light armor

[Yuo better commit sudoku]

So, is there any point at all to wear light armor? Since the perk for dodging is broken it seems utterly useless for me to wear anything but plate.

if you want to sneak up on someone

using plate is useless, its heavy, hard to sneak and worst thing - bandits run from you. light armor ftw

Nah. Once you get the perk to stuff your armor you can be very silent with mail and brigandine (and even plate) and it's not that heavy once you have Mule II or III.

not to mention Well Worn Perk which removes 1/3 of all armor weight when worn.

At the moment there is zero point in using light armour, and that's super annoying as I was planing on going light armour in my first save...then I found out how useless stealth is. No stealth killing bandits in bed at there camps for me :(

Yes, but you'll still be sitting at 60 visibility.
Lightweight, dark clothing is the best. If you're good at combat, no one can even touch you. You don't need plate unless you're absolute sh*t at combat.

imho no matter what, main thing why i stopped to use plate is that bandits started to run away from me. unless its for roleplaying there is really no point in using plate armor, im strong enough without it anyway. also its much easier to sneak in light armor and i like chainmail more than plate :)

Does anyone have an idea why leather gloves are not light armor? When I put on this gloves, perk does not work.

I've killed every bandit camp by stealth except for one that I accidentally rode straight into while exploring. It's entirely possible, and I really enjoy the way the devs set up stealth.

Lower you visibility and conspicuous and noise stats as far as possible and stab some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

+1 also hunting perk gives a bonus to stealth when raiding bandit camps

Time for the king's forest to get a little lighter on game I guess!!

I would use Light Armor if I could have a plate helmet.

But, what I have noticed is that using a "open face" helmet makes the fighting controls a bit faster and responsive compared to using a hounhelmet or similar. I'm not sure why, but it feels a lot different and a bit weird to be honest.

+ give me a archer bascinet with the small "hatch" on the right side of the face. ;D
++ weird that the standard bascinet is worse than an kettle helmet. Just sayin.

lol it is really fun when the other guys start searching for their missing mate and me sitting behind a tree to grab another one of them

but yeah some of the other skill perks goes really well with stealth

Open face = stabbed face.

I gotta keep my good looks in case a DLC lets me get jiggy with Theresa again.
