Hello MMO-Cers!
I bought Skyrim last week and so far i have been extraordinarily impressed with the game.
The problem is that i levelled a guy to level 13 (not much i know) with the warrior (heavy armour, shields etc) in mind.
I then found out that i liked the thief playstyle better, but i came to think that thieves have a combat disadvantage over warriors.
This is because mobs hit harder the less armour you got, and as a thief you use medium armour which therefore makes mobs hit you a lot harder. Also, warriors generally use shields, but as thieves don't, wouldn't this increase the amount of damage they take to near unsurvivable levels?
Mages also have very little armour but most of their damage is ranged.
in short: aren't thieves quite underpowered due to armour?
thanks for any replies
