Right now am playing an Orc who is more of a barbarian warrior who uses all weapons but once he comes across orcish weapons and armors he makes sure to keep them in his inventory for use.
Good point on the no stealth archery. My warrior characters in previous Elder Scrolls games always considered that a cowardly way to fight. The archery in SKYRIM is so much fun and immersive I totally forgot I considered it cowardly. I have to get back into just using the skill for hunting food
I wonder how Dunmer taste?
Same thing with using a shield. I used to charge into battle with only my weapons in hand and let bodies fall where they may. With shield bashing being so much fun in SKYRIM I will have to show restraint. Maybe I should be playing an Imperial or Nord instead of an Orc 
Yes my Orc doesn't believe in thievery either. There are enough dungeons to loot and evil doers to slay to not be slaughtering civilians for a mere bauble.
My Orc is a solitary sort so living in a orc fortress would not be to his liking unless he was the only one living there. SO GET THE OBLIVION OUT OF THERE! YE SONS OF MOSSY MOISTLESS MOTHERS!
