I know a lot of players don't stick to a monotone cultural getup when they play, but a lot of players probably do what I do; try to stick to culturally appropriate armours and weapons for the culture I am playing. I take this mentality with me to smithing as well, where I try to smith and use weapons that suit my characters culture appropriately. But I have some exceptions; I often use animal pelts for shoulder armour when playing as a Vlandian or Imperial. If I play as a Sturgian I may use some Khuzait armour. And if I play as a mercenary or Lord for a different cultural faction than my character is from, I may use a mix of regional armours and use my own culture for a weapon. Example; I played a Nord corsair mercenary for the Empire. I used gilded scale Imperial armour with gilded scale shoulderguards, golden pirate gauntlets and boots, and a brass Aserai helmet with a Nord one handed sword with gilded pummel and handguard. Anyone else give themselves similar cultural restrict...
It would be good if they made it so that the character develops physical (str/agi) and mental (int/cha) skills separately, from different point pools. So the player would f.e. get 1 point to spent on physical, and one on mental skills. That would be a bit more sensible.
It would also be more fun. One of the things I disliked in Warband is you can either make a strong warrior character with utterly shit utility, or make a utility character who has to sit in the background while the army does most of the fighting.
So instead of having to choose warrior/utility the player would choose what kind of warrior(strong warrior, agile archer), and what kind of utility they want (intelligence-based with tactics, medical skills and so on or charisma based with high leadership, persuasion etc.) and get to play both in the same playthrough.
