From a realistic point of view, it wouldn't make *** for sense for someone to run up to a group of armored enemies with nothing but bare hands, you'd get the living crap beat out of you and then spit on, and rightly so.
PvP combat would also look like a ridiculous joke if you could be a tank with heavy armor and be wielding a sword/shield but still get beaten by someone with no weapons other than fists.
And don't try to use the, "but we could do it in previous elder scrolls games" excuse. Those are all single player games that have a lot of different rules overall, this being one of them.
So stahp it.
I said Fist Fighter not bare hand. I would fully expect there to be weapons, either brass knuckles or claws.
And I will reference older games. If a game can't draw from its past, what's the point of series?
I'm fine with this game drawing on the past games for content (obviously) however, taking a single player mechanic that makes little to no sense in an MMO, but trying to force it into the mmo anyway doesn't quite work. Even if you had knuckles or something on your hands, you wouldn't stand a chance against someone covered in armor and weapons.

Stupid and trying to force it into MMO?
WHAT ABOUT -EVERY MONK CLASS ON THE PLANET-?!
It's not a new concept and might actually fill a gap in this games system, giving burst damage for the PVE crowd possibly.
ZoS? Will we ever be able to beat our enemies to death with our bare hands?
You could make it a hybrid weapon, if your mana pool is bigger let it scale off magic, stamina let it scale off weapons.
It would be really fun.
