well my point is, whats the point of having any if it makes no difference.

i like armor, but at the same time it had better do some thing, but we dont want a repeat of F1 plate armor = god hero.

hence IF they do put armor in, have like 5 different sets of each kind, that have a different effect VS different kinds of attacks etc.

like have 2 styles of plate, chain mail and leather armors that make you look like a guy, and 2 sets that make you look more , then one set that is just plane.

leather armor being non conductive = less damage VS magic by ..... -10 but +5 range +10 slash

chainmail armor being some what half could = -5 VS magic -10 slash +10 range weapons.

plate armor being all out plate could = -10 slash -10 range +15 magic attacks for damage.

meaning if you were going all plate armor and fighting a bunch of witches or what ever, that would be a bad idea, chain mail not so bad but still not , and leather armor being the best idea.

at least thats just my thoughts.
