How does armor work in Morrowind? I have the Nightblade class, and I want to understand the usage of the Unarmed/Light Armor mix.

Should one focus on one of the two? Does it make sense to only wear some pieces of light armor while having some other slots empty? If so, does it make a difference in which slots? Should one still use clothes in the non-armor-slots, or are they useless weight?

Unarmored is generally considered very bad, as its armor value is very low unless you get it to enormous skill levels (which requires several powerful enchantments) and you deny yourself several pieces of armor, which could be enchanted.

How does Armour work Morrowind?

Armor is subject to diminishing returns; each point of Armor Rating prevents less damage than the previous point did. Greater incoming damage means a smaller percentage of that damage will be prevented (e.g. an Armor Rating of 10 will reduce 10 incoming damage by 50%, but it will reduce 20 incoming damage by only 33%).

What do armor skills do Morrowind?

The Heavy Armor skill is used to move and defend while wearing massive and rigid armors like iron, steel, silver, Dwemer, ebony, and Daedric armor. To use any style of armor effectively, the wearer must be trained, conditioned, and skilled in its use.
