Which is better orcish or dwarven

Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. It seems to work similar to how it did in Elder Srolls IV, just with more grades. Lists are ordered from less armor protection to greater armor protection: Light armor: Hide, Studded, Leather, Scales, Elven, Glass, Dragonscale Heavy armor: Iron, Steel, Dwarven, Orcish, Ebony, Dragonplate, Daedric Keep in mind that you might find a fine iron helmet that offers more armor points than some of the lower steel ones, but it will weigh more and be worth less gold, and so on.

And to compound the problem, steel plate is somehow better than Dwarven armor. Are you flippin' serious? If I was a dwarf, I'd be pissed.

Speaking of which Nevermind that. Back to the point. So, basically, if you're an "armorer" you can go up the right side of the tree without any worries.

Everything progresses in a nice, proper linear fashion in line with the quality of the metal in question. But if you're more of a "weaponsmith" then you literally have to take a step back to get to Ebony later on.

Dwarven weapons are superior to Orcish, so to get to Ebony you have to put a perk point in something you don't really need. Or have at least surpassed the need for. Why couldn't they just change the base characteristics of Dwarven in both weapons AND armor to be slightly inferior to Orcish or the other way around , and then set the skill tree properly. And as far as the armor leveling goes, what's this crap about "steel plate" being better than Dwarven?

Here's the links. It's under "Leveled List Info". Am I crazy? Or is this a non-issue? Why wouldn't a race who focused on weapons make them better? Why wouldn't a race who focused on armor make them better?

I'm not saying the Dwemer or Orsimer did this, but they could have. And to one of your side notes; the Dwemer or "dwarves" aren't in the game because they are long since extinct ish Keep me logged in on this device.

User Info: Mohandasgandhi Mohandasgandhi 9 years ago 5 both of those armors have different starting stats but max out at the same place, same as Dragon bone and ebony and Daedra. Discovered a bounty glitch huge bounty for no reason. Weapon attack range.

Where did the Dragonborn come from? Is there a Magicka equivilant to Sleeping Tree Sap? Legendary Run experiences. Unmodded, no Resto glitch. Side Quest. How do I solve the puzzle in Ansilvund Excavation? How do I solve the 3 stone puzzle? Where can I find a soul trap weapon? Ancient knowledge should only boost Dwarven armor and by my opnion, more, leaveing Ebony like 2 points of so. On with none of those quests completed, a dwarven warhammer outperforms an orcish warhammer.
