Every rpg game

stats.

Fortunately the armor with the best stats usually looks best.

Stats. I usually can't stand people who ditch good armor/equipment just because "It looks ugly"

Why not both??

Tbh I pick the one that looks like it should have the best stats, aka the most functional looking one

Easy. Stats for my main. And looks for my secondary.

Go for stats and change the appearance. Atleast thats what you can do on WOW.

I go for looks cause daedric armor looks bad ass compared to dragon bone in skyrim. Also when you reach god status in that game the difference in stats doesn't matter much

Trying to find armor that isn't fucking bedazzled with enough gold/yellow tinfoil to make King Midas furiously aroused.

Not an issue with Fashion Souls/Borne.
