What is the best light armour?

[ratchet]

Ok, I admit. I'm a hoarder. I take everything I think might be useful, just like almost all skyrim players. My inventory is stacked with books, heavy armour, dragon scales, and enchanted items. That's why I want to know the best light armour, in your opinion, that will serve my carrying capacity well. And of course I will enchant it

Thieves Guild Armor, you can find the enchanted version in a quest, forgot the name

From craftable items, I prefer Sthalrim light armor most. It is light, has a good protection and it looks nice.

Except the helmet. Goofy light sthalrim helmet was the very reason why I installed Helmless Warrior mod to my game - like so many others did.

Thieves Guild armor is enchanted by default, when you get it. The follow up armors are my personal favourites, outside of craftable armors.

No wonder, because my characters are usually thieves of some sort.

Of the standard armors, I like the Dawnguard light armor for looks and utility. I always enchant them, of course. They look good enough on both male and female characters. I mix and match the gauntlets and boots, though. I've lately been looking at armor mods, there are a lot of cool ones available. I haven't used any of them yet, I'm still researching them.

Nightingale Armor is almost black and looks really cool. You only get it near the end of the thieves guild quests though. Most light armor is about the same weight apart from modded armors. So go for what looks good for you. This link has all 27 light armors listed with links for you to look at. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Armor_%28Skyrim%29

For Hoarding there are other ways to be able to carry more or to sell what you want. You should be aware though that carrying half of skyrim around with you does make the game more buggy. As Skyrim has to remember every item that has changed postion and where it is now. Also everytime you go through a load door it needs to load everything that is in your inventory. So if you carry a lot less your game may load faster and play better!

Dragonscale Armour as it looks badass, and has good protection compared to most other light armours.

Do I really have to use thieve's guild armour? I flat out hate the thieves. I'm more of a magey, warrior myself.

Dragon scale armor. If you're high enough level (I believe it's 36, correct me if I'm wrong), then you can get the death brand armor. Which is by far the best armor set in the entire game, light or heavy.

[Bomb Bloke]

If you train the three crafting skills sufficiently, you'll end up being able to enhance most any suit of armour up to the protection cap. Once you hit this point, the only thing that matters is which perk tree you like better (for light or heavy armour), and whether you like the look of the suit.

The main difference that comes to mind is that light armour can have you dodge attacks, and heavy can mitigate fall damage. Both perk trees make armour of their type weightless eventually, and so on. The difference between Fur and Daedric ends up being mostly cosmetic.

So in regards to opening up the options further, I quite like this mod:

Not only does it cover the "invisible helmets" thing, but it lets you craft unenchanted versions of any special items you've earned throughout the course of the game (meaning you can create custom versions with the specific effects you want).

No, not even if you join the guild.

Dragon scale armour is pretty good, has good protection and also looks awesome,
the deathbrand light armour is epic; it offers good protection and has bonus perks if you have all four peices.

At any time in any quest you can wear whatever you want. It's more for the roleplay element of any faction you join whether you want to look and feel like you belong to a group.
If you like being a magey warrior - like a spellsword you can wear anything.

... speaking of which, did anyone else feel guilty when Karliah gave them "permission" to wear their Nightingale armour around the guild at last? You know, quite some time after you probably started wearing it everywhere?

She gives you permission? Too late as by that point in time I've already switched armours like 5 times anyway so not really any point.

Do you want only vanilla armors or are you willing to use mod armors as well?

It does seem strange, I guess that may be her way of trying to tell you wearing the nightingale armor in the thieves guild is okay ... but not acceptable to wear it officially outside unless using it to sneak some fabulous treasures!

Pity that there is no dialogue to have both Karliah and Brynolf contribute to funding a newly reconstructed Nightingale Hall.

I do like that thieves hand over gold if you use the nightingale dialogue when you get it!
