Lets say I want to do a Samurai Build. What class, skills, and Outfit slot design would make this happen?

If I want to go full on adventuring samurai. What all do I need to get the absolute best feel?

What class wouls best have skills that feel and look like they could be samurai based?

what Outfit design pieces would I need to get some sort of samurai look. Katana or spear is bonus.

I'm not sure of the best class but for armor you'll want the Ancient Orc Heavy

For your outfit look - https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Styles

You can look at pretty much every outfit out there and how to get them.

I think best race would be bosmer or imperial. Best class - dragonknight or stamina nightblade. Best outfeet - akaviri or Tsaesky

Tsaesci. A Crown Store exclusive motif, but in my opinion a very nice one to have.

It is not an armour set, it is a cosmetical crafting style, applicable either directly by crafting the items in this style, or applicable as an Outfit Style at any level by using an Outfit/Dye station, as long as at least one of your characters knows the motif and you have enough gold or an Outfit Token.

That's the beauty, as well as bane of this game.
While in theory you have the freedom to create your own "class" with whatever class skills you find most fitting, your performance and/or immersion might or might not suffer.

For the class skills you will obviously want the 2h and/or the dual wield line, and then a class that best suits whatever kind of samurai you have in mind. I recommend checking YouTube videos on the different classes to see how they play, look and sound.

Second, press U and go through the outfits. You can preview all of them whether you own them or not.
And I'm not talking about costumes which are like 1 big skin for your entire character, minus weapons. I am talking about outfits, which are slot-based skins, they are way more plentiful, can be mixed and matched and can usually be found in the game.

Outfits can be obtained either by simply equipping an item that was crafted or looted in that style, by unlocking the style for the slot, or sometimes all slots, via "learning" the motif for it which you can find as drops or buy from guild traders, some of which have crafting level requirements though, or by buying them off the crown store which is usually the complete motif set with no requirements attached.
Note that motifs, at least those from in-game, unlock the crafting style on the character you learn them on, as well as the outfit style on all your characters on your current server.

Oh one more thing..
Some outfit styles are actually heavily influenced by both ancient Chinese and ancient Japanese fighters. They should also be features on the crown store at the moment. Not sure they are crown store exclusive though.

Akaviri and Tsaesci motifs previously mentioned. One is definitely crown store exclusive, the Tsaesci motif (and it isn't available right now). Akaviri can be obtained in game I believe, something to do with PvP maybe.
