Racial weapons and armor
I think that every race should have different kind of weapons and armor so not everyon has full platemail, a lion or knight shield and a firesword. Heres some of my ideas:
Humans: Mainly swords, and maybe some axes. Moderate leather/metal armors
Elves: Bows, and Elvin blades (that are one sided blade swords like samurai swords). Many cloth items, like cloaks that make it hard to 'see' them, so you dont hit them as often.
Dwarfs: Mainly axes, clubs perhaps. Mostly metal, and some leather armor.
Orc: Mostly axes and clubs, and some swords. Mostly metal, and some leather armor.
Lizardmen: Perhaps claws to put on their hands? Some sort of hard skin because lizards dont wear armor, or clothes.
Halflings: Probably daggers. Mostly cloth items like clothes.
Just because they are different items, doesnt mean they should be better than eachother. But if they were, it would give people more reason to choose each race, like if one race was faster, one was stronger, one had better armor, ect. Well those are my ideas so far.

Well this idea could be quite good as well. For instance someone could be a weapon's collector and could go out and search for these weapons on quests or the such and when he obtains them (perhaps through a quest or buying from a smith of that race ) then he could return to his own home and put it on display or sell it to someone else for a higher price. But of course if a human would buy an elven sword he would not be to good with it as it would have been meant to have been made for an elf, not a human. Same with axes for dwarves and the such. And I think the dwarven axe in game is already sort of a racial weapon...although I think only master smith dwarves or semi master smithing dwarves should only be able to make this item....

I really don't think this idea needs to be suggested a third time.

I wouldn't prefer to run around with a dagger against a heavily armoured Orc(unless it's enchanted so that it ignores armour, or something to that affect...), if you know what I'm saying... but class dependent weapons would be a great idea... elven scout - dagger, short sword, bow; elven warrior - fine tipped spear, any sword; etc...
