Yeah once you get good at DaS it's all about the dressup (And ridiculous gimmick runs).

Also, by not having the greatest armour in Skyrim, I find myself relying on my shield more, and my god if it isn't the best skill tree in the whole game. <3
The troutey Wanderer's Coat from Dark Souls is easily one of the best looking pieces in the game. I love it.
I sadly sacrifie looks for stats. I don't play many games where your outfit changes with armor, but I do play games where the weapons and such look different and some are just so pretty but then I have to upgrade and I sadface and sigh and stop playing for a few days.
You don't wear light armour for the defence, though. ;)
