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...
My personal favorites are "long reach" from throwing skill - pretty vital if you are planning on being a mounted archer/crossbowman/javelin thrower behind enemy lines as soon as you start encountering those massive 1500v1500 battles.
Also, "dash and slash" from roguery unlocks so many options as you can spec out for utility perks in the combat skills and your attacks (as long as you move towards your target) will still hit like a truck. And finally, "impale" from throwing again as in conjunction with "annoying buzz" from riding ensures that you will get some mass routing the moment the primary frontlines clash.
There are more such as "mighty blow" and "surging blow" in athletics and some great combos such as "foot work" (polearm) combined with "fleet of foot" (one handed) and of course "form fitting armor" (athletics) that turn you into a melee kiting god.
Okay i'm pausing here before i cover the entire skill tree. What are your favorite individual perks or combos?
