With the appropriate mods and perks you can balance many of the negative aspects of heavy armor. If you're a walking tank, you don't have to be fast.Does armor still slow you down and drain alot stamina in A18. I love heavy armor classes in games but its not even an option for me in A17.
In my current game I have chosen the heavy armor and have no significant disadvantages compared to the light armor. Since I fight mainly in close combat, protection is more important to me than speed.
