The problem lies with you, not with the game. Ranged combat, wether spells or marksman weapons, worked well enough in both Morrowind and Oblivion. In combination with sneak it is simply deadly.I have to use a mouse to slowly that in a gaming setting it's an extreme hinderance, not a help. I never finished Diablo 2 because I'd end up running in circles around the bosses and they'd kill me. And to bring it back toe ES series I never used ranged combat before they made it work right in Skyrim. In Oblivion and especially Morrowind it's functionality is extremely low.
Dude, the number one source of super-armor are those bandits and marauders in the first place! Also the Dremora in the plane of Oblivion at higher levels, but Ive never encountered anybody else there scavenging for armor.The way gear has always worked in ES games "breaks emersion." In all of them you go from basic iron and leather, to steel, to ancient meric, to super fancy. Why is it daft that the rules that apply to everyone else? It's not. Daft is when rules only apply to the player and not the world at large.
They could have done the same levelling system, more or less, without giving all bandits elven/glass armor. Simply give them a complete set of lesser armor and maybe some non-equipment perks like increased strength and so on. It is daft that every petty criminal in the province owns a suit of armor that is vastly better than what legionaires or members of the blades wear.
