Orcish armor is the most samurai-ish, I believe.
Only the head imo is samurai-ish(the morrowind set was more samurai oriented).
I don't know, I think the body has some samurai stylization to it. Not as much as morrowind, but I didn't really like morrowind's orcish armor set either. It looked TOO much like samurai armor.
What about the Blades armor?
Yea body and head are definately good sam pieces to use(I havent reach that part in the game to get any just yet).
As far as orc body, I didnt get that feeling from it, could be just the way they did the plating didnt appeal to me~
Speaking of armor, I was a bit let down with the glass armor. While it looks gorgeous viewing it from menus/inventory, when you put it on, it looks a bit like a space suit or some kind of super-hero outfit. Its probably just the bulky look, or the fact that morrowind's glass armor is probably still the best looking glass armor(imo). Its design looks like it was done from gems/crystals etc(like actual glass armor).
The glass weapons in skyrim though are great and probably the best of the series.
I will note that back on the glass armor subject, it could just be the way its fitted on male characters as with female characters its slimmed down more and does look much better(same with ebony, however ebony is great on both sets, minus feet on males too bulky :/ )
