What Race for Samurai Build? : V

» Fri Jun 08, 2012 5:09 am

When the 1.4 patch hits (and hopefully fixes lag) I'd like to create a samurai build

What race seems appropriate though? Which would look best in Blades Armour and with Katanas?

Redguard would be my choice.

Either redguard or orc. I've developed into a Ronin of sorts and the Raga themselves have a samurai varrient of sorts known as Sword-Singers who fit the description quite well.

Altmer if you're going for a more "Eastern" look. But Redguards look great in Blades Armour.
Race doesn't really matter, as you can easily overcome the racial skills.

Any race would really work. You are not limited in your choice beyond what you want to look like. However, as the others have said the Redguards have something like Samuri in their culture.

Orc

Yep, even a couple of their haircuts looks like what samurais had.

Orc

This. I haven't seen much orc armor in Skyrim but in Morrowind it was very japanese/oriental. Also they have a kind of warrior philosophy thing going which I think would suit you.

Hey guys, I tried this just now.
Looks badass, with a Redguard.

Thanks for the idea.

What kind of bow would be cool?

Redguard, no doubt.

Orc.And orcish armor is like a samurai armor x) a little bit,and in morrowind it was like a samurai armor

Tsaesci

But seriously, it's either Redguard or Orc. You can try Nord for the "The Last Samurai" vibe, but I'd say stay away from Mers (except Orsimer) and beastfolk

Oh, and stay away from Imperials and Bretons too

Japanese, since I beleive that they are the only ones that ever had samurai :angel:

Orc in my opinion, because of there orcish armor in morrowind

Or khajiit because they are awesome.

Wasn't the Akivari Nords?

Wasn't the Akivari Nords?

No, there are 4 races in Akavir, and none of them are men. They are all beastfolks

Wasn't the Akivari Nords?

No. The Blades stuff is Tsaesci, who are snakepeople I thinl.
