However, if weight is not an issue and all Heavy Armor abilities are unlocked, Dragonplate is a more beneficial choice. Dragonscale is a light armor, which can make it better for a stealth-based player character or if they have a higher light armor skill. Dragon Scales are also lighter than dragon bones, making it easier to transport the material for the armor.
