How is that armour going to protect him from dragons? Why doesn't he wear Steel Plate or Daedric or something with an armour rating above 100, once he starts seeing Revered,Ancient and Legendary dragons he's as good as dead. Also why isn't he a High Elf he should be.

Pssh, Dovahkiin could dominate a legendary dragon in his birthday suit, he doesn't need that daedric crap.
 
Well, he is a nord. Nords are kinda the barbarian class. Steel plate is more standardized, while iron armor is ramshackle and interesting. Daedric would make him look like a bad guy, which they likely don't want. And why should he be an elf at all? Skyrim is the modern home of the nords.

I think that from a LORE perspective, the Dragonborn is supposed to be a Nord. I mean, the game takes in Skyrim, their home, and Tiber Septim, another DB, was also a Nord. But TES is all about choice, and race and armor are one of those choices.

if the dovahkiin is the savior of SKYRIM then why would he be a high elf? hell im an orc and still think that its only fitting for the dovahkiin to be a nord.

Also, how do you know that iron armor is not upgraded to legendary and heavily enchanted? I did that once, just for kicks.

The thing is, Tiber Septim wasn't the only dragonborn. For example, Reman Cyrodil, another dragonborn, was an Imperial. The dragonborn can be any race, and have it make just as much sense as a Nord.

That's true. I guess a Dragonborn could come from anyone. So I will revise my statement: the Dragonborn on the cover is a Nord because the game takes place in Skyrim, their home. There is no one race that should or shouldn't have a Dragonborn anymore than the others.

Lol, I think we're getting a little off topic here :) . Anyway, am I the only one that thinks Banded Iron Armor looks absolutely badass, especially with the Konahrik mask?

I agree. Some of the lower level armors are the best looking to me. More fitting to the overall setting if yknow what I mean. Man I enchanted @ least 4 different sets of scaled armor on my first nord just because it 'fit'..
