Different randomized 'skins' on armors

Different styles for each "class" of armor. i.e. Plate armor should have ten different styles so the variation would be much higher.

I completely agree with that, and I think it would be relatively easy to do by having extra texture files with diferent kinds of details that would randomized on the armor upon creation. Would require a lot less space but as I'm not a game-maker I cannot say how much system resources that would eat up.

Plate variations...chuckle.

You DO realize that plate had to be custom made to each knight right? Even today to make someone plate the armorer has to take measurements and make it by hand to fit each customer right.

What does the suit of armour having to be custom made matter? You DO realise that even with the one style currently in the game it would still have to be custom made right?

What they are asking for is different styles of plate, both visually and functionally.

My vote was 'Yea', because it would be a moderately easy way to add character customization options. I remember that collecting armor parts in Morrowind to give your char the desired look was fun.

Custom? No. But random variation between, say, a dozen different styles? DEFINATELY yes.
