Make naked people die in one hit
Don't care how you do it, just make naked people consistently die in one hit. Going naked shouldn't be a viable game tactic as opposed to wearing armour.
Answer
My suggestion aligns with this one.
Bare face + sword = death
When you stab a player with a bare face in the eyes with a sword, I’m in
the opinion that it should result in an instakill. Face strikes
should be very lethal less it land on your helmet or you have face plate
on. Naked player should be dead against pierce
or cut damage in 1 or 2 hits. This is realistic and would greatly
encourage players to wear protection ;) This change will likely make
the game a bit more dynamic and satisfying
This is the top thing on feedback at the minute, The devs just moved something I posted about into "in development" -- I'm glad because it's an improvement, but it's something that takes more time to do than this requested fix, so why are the devs not listening to the feedback board and prioritising this easy solution?
It's actually a pretty complicated change, since it would have to work around the stat system. It would also require a lot of balancing calculations to make sure it wouldn't break anything in the game. It's a good suggestion, and many people like it, but it involves lots of different things, while affecting only a very small part of the game (trolls who run around naked).
Since encumbrance has a starting value, wearing nothing and wearing light armour has no difference on actual stats, so it's basically only a visual change.
As long as you prioritise when you start balancing everything I’m happy. Clearly it is quite popular and people don’t like nakeds as viable playstyles
