Simply put, people just want a reason to whine about the game.
I say fuck 'em. It looks awesome, even if I lose ONE ARMOUR PIECE. OOOOOOOOH NOOOOOOOOOOO

I never did like the way armour was combined together in Oblivion. I loved making my character look however I wanted in Morrowind. Sure most of the time I gave him armour from the same set, different sets would look odd, but it still makes you feel more free than being forced to wear each part of the same set. And it was annoying in Oblivion when I wanted to wear the Black Hand robes as well as those boots you get from Teinaava but couldn't.
I'm not really that bothered about it, it'd just be nice to see it go back to Morrowind's way of handling equipment. At least Bethesda's reasons for it show they care about the game itself, I guess.

EDIT: But the people bitching about it like you mentioned are just fucking stupid.

Not to sound like a wierdo or something, but that is such an endearing for a girl to say.

I like how your accidental double posting of that comment, made it much MORE weird than you feared the comment itself to be. Lol XD
Although the term 'endearing' feels kind of patronising it did make me laugh.

The PC I'm purchasing for Skyrim would make more than your eyebrows waggle...I'm so freaking excited. :D:D:D:D

I have to admit. It would make no difference. But I'm the sort of person who would rather customise than care about armor. Armor has no need when you have magic. =3

Not an issue. Mods will fix that.
Will they though? Were there Oblivion mods that added back the extra armor slots?
And more. I recall installing a mod that allowed me to equip my wizard with goggles, sunglasses, or a monocle.
Well then I guess it's not even an issue then. For PC players anyway.

Why doesn't Bethesda just drop the act and make Skyrim an action game? It's clear they don't give a shit about RPGs anymore. Can they just drop the pretense already and say they just want to make action games?
I know right, take away ONE PIECE OF ARMOUR and you might as well take away the quest system leveling up the huge open world and the dialogue choice

It's all about removal of options, like when spears were removed from Oblivion. I think that the trade-off is reasonable, but I don't really think it should be necessary - if the tech can't handle that, then the tech isn't good enough for a TES game.

Also remember that there were 9 armour pieces in Morrowind, compared to 5 in Skyrim. It's not exactly a small difference.
dont remind me... morrowind was my first ever proper RPG and it confused the living hell out of me for a while before i could wrap my head around all of it. oblivion was easy afterwards :).

People hate when Bethesda tries new things. They made armor simpler in Oblivion than Morrowind. I think there were 9 parts to every armor set. IN Oblivion, it went down to 5. IN Skyrim, we will have 4. And I don't mind one bit because, to me, I never wear pants and chest piece if they don't match. it looks stupid. and looking at most of the mods in Oblivion, no one will care there, either, because you'll still be able to make every female character look like a slut. (seriously, the TESnexus has a lot of mods, but the hot files are always female armors that make them look horribly slutty.)

You usually try to wear matching armour anyway, so it makes no difference at all for me. If they think that it makes the game better this way, I am going to be trusting the professionals on this one.

Though, they can either allow me to enchant the same armor piece with multiple enchantments, or realize that I have 10 fingers and 10 toes and allow me to equip more than just 2 rings.
The one ring on each hand thing is a pretty standard RPG convention. The general idea is that more than one magic ring per hand has the rings fighting themselves and canceling each other's magic.
At least that's how I run it when I DM/GM. Don't know the official Elder Scrolls Explanation.

I agree. All real RPGs have the latest and most in-depth pants options available. I mean, Morrowind let you leave your fly open, and that came out years ago!
Saints Row the Third will be the greatest game ever:

you have the option of NO PANTS AT ALL. You can even choose NO UNDERWEAR.
Oh my god, that's so hardcore. See, more devs should be like Volition. THEY know how to cater to the audience that really cares, unlike these Bethesda douches, building a giant world full of unique characters and an incredible amount of quests, and improving upon the framework in almost every way, it's few flaws easily moddable. Those assholes took our pants.

It doesnt matter to much, it just makes my obsesive collecting of whole sets easier.

You raise a good point about 100% chameleon as well, I hope such balance issues are fixed. Even if 100% reflecting damage was the funniest thing in the game...

It's not even a problem that appears solely with video game development:

People don't want change. Then they ***** about how nothing has changed.
Yeah I noticed on the metacritic for Command and Conquer 3.

There is a green on the top list for being the same as before and polished.

Then nearly a 0 on the right for being "exactly the same tired shit".

You cannot win :).

I have a new goal in Oblivion now.

If it means more armor sets, and better looking armor, I'm in. There wasn't enough armor in Oblivion. There were like 4 sets for heavy and light and that was it. It sucked. Bring on MORE PRETTY ARMOR!

One of the things I noticed is that each race has a heavy and light build to choose from on character creation, I'm assuming that will effect the look of armour to some extent also.

IMO I can safely say that it doesn't really matter how many armor slots you have when games like Dragon Age: Origins (Which goes down as one of the best RPG's of the last decade in my book) did a pretty much identical thing TWO years ago and no one was complaining about it then. Just because you can't min-max as much as you did previously isn't something to complain about when the removal of that armor slot makes the game run and look better, and you will find new ways to break the game within twelve minutes. I also approve since it will make sets of legendary armor easier to find.
