Anyone else notice in the elven armor picture the guy is giving the bird to whoever he's fighting?

I'm sorry. But I cannot answer any of these questions. Neither can other forumites.

You still can't unsheath your sword and attack at the same time, so no you can't be a samurai. :sadvaultboy:

Yes, a feature I wish was in. Well that one magazine cover has the character in the right posture, but I'm probably reading to much into it.

I would like more variety for each armor type, like Iron Chain, Iron Plate, Iron Scale, Iron Brigadine, Iron Coat of Plates, Iron Lamellar, etc...

Maybe just for the basic types.

My opinion on Samurai armour and why it has so much backing is pretty much the same reason Morrowind has so much love. That alien and exotic feel behind it. From a western point of view it can be a very dominating sight to see a Samurai warrior, but that's just me. Not saying I don't have love for European and Middle-Eastern armour. For example, I would LOVE to see http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HYt995wFTps/TQSuxC2qAyI/AAAAAAAAAHU/KFVH1YAoIXs/s1600/husaria.jpg in a TES game.

That's human nature, I think. They're drawn to things that are not commonplace. For many, things like knights and longbows and such are common. It's their heritage. Samurai and katanas, though, they are from a far away land with a very different culture. They're exotic. And that fact alone makes them attractive. It doesn't make them as good as people think they are, though.

I wouldn't mind seeing some inspiration being taken from some of http://www3.uakron.edu/worldciv/china/ch-armor.html

YES.
I love this armor.
I've always wondered just how terrifying these guys would be on a battlefield.
