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...
I started playing this game a couple of weeks ago and boy, do I just enjoy riding around on my horse and chopping down everyone in my path. I don't remember feeling so genuinely excited about combat in any other game. Whenever I have an exhausting day at work and stuff, this game is perfect for unwinding. Galloping at 3 bandits or Ragnar's 300 men feels equally satisfying.
Strategy? Never heard of that one. It's all complete chaos when my gang swoops in like the wild horde that we are (I'm with the Khergits, but got all other factions' cavalry units). I particularly enjoy running over archers and Nord troops of any sort. Hehe, poor horseless losers.
If only I had a longer sword... I use a Balanced Long Arming Sword, and heads do roll... but is there another one-handed weapon with an even longer reach?
