Fucking loved F/SN from the moment I set my eyes on Saber because she's one of like 5 characters ever in weeaboo culture whose armor actually looks practical and wields a non-katana sword that looks realistic.
Say what you say about Takeuchi sucking with anatomy and Nasu's plot gimmicks but the designs Type-Moon does are godtier.

Also the lawful female type in armor always appealed to me, especially with blonde hair. Saber is an awesome moeblob besides, can morph into a really serious character to make me go awesomesauce, Saber Alter is an evil version who's actually evil and not "baaaww-nobody-likes-me-so-I'll-become-an-evil-machine-of-death-and-turn-good-in-the-last-episo

After carefully thinking about it, it would work pretty well. Lots of places to deflect shots into and damage a blade.

I don't understand either. The only bigger flaw it has is exactly the same as normal Saber armor, no shoulder pads (This actually always bothered me). But it's a lightweight armor, covers forearms, the highly vulnerable(or more like easy target) chest, hips and most of her legs. Moving should be pretty easy as long as she has strong legs(lol Saber with her mana dashes) and she can probably dodge a lot. Besides the leg armor looks very well jointed so it shouldn't hinder much. Fighting with the sword in a high position will make up for the lack of shoulder pads a bit too.
tl;dr It's a fucking good design for a fanservice armor that essentially has bare shoulders, armpits and zettai ryouiki.

Perhaps it differs between translations of the legend, but the one I read described him as "a small beardless man". It seems he barely finished puberty, then magically looked the same until dying some 10 years later.

That would look awesome.
7 dots to each eye.
So long as they're in this arrangement.

Yeah, I noticed that as well while reading the legend. It also said he had seven dimples on each side of his mouth and jewels in his forehead so...

Ah yes, those.
The jewels are explained later as being a metaphor. "His brow is the meeting place of many virtues".
As for the dimples, those are still a mystery. Sometimes children have dimples that disappear with age - perhaps it's a reference to him growing up quickly but never aging?
