Armor Edit
In Requiem what weapon you choose has an impact on how effective it is, blunt weapons do better armor penetration as a trade-off for being slower, etc. A lot of seemingly impossible enemies in Requiem in fact just have really high armor, and seeing as armor can give up to an 85% reduction in damage, this is a mechanic you cannot ignore. I might do a write up of what is effective against certain enemies.

Damage Resistance Edit
Simply put, this is the value that when multiplied by * 0.12 gives the total percentage of physical damage to be resisted, most of this value is from armor, creatures like Draugr have armor added to them in the form of Damage Resistance. You can read more about it here.

Actually reduction cap is set to 95% in default requiem. 85% is skyrim vanila value.

also, reduction per armor is set to 0.1034%. and eventually this leads to conclusion that actual armor rating cap in requiem is 819, since there is hidden armor rating bonus on each part of armor you wear.
