a little less green, and a little more leathery- but yes


possibly a bonier face?

And teeth that don't look crap. The teeth in this pic look great. In Oblivion the teeth of orcs were just stuck in the mouths and moved weirdly as if they were soft, they did not look like they were stuck in place.

That the orcs were ugly rather than intimidating was probably because of the fact that faces looked bad on almost every character. I have a feeling that Bethesda have done something amazing in store for all the races

I'd love that too.

I think I read somewhere that there will be more differences between the races this time. Even if it just boils down to body type I'll be happy. The Bosmer will probably be slimer, more fey like but the Orcs will be not only taller but wider etc.

This is what orcs should look like IMO.

Its an old movie trailer but you get glimpses of neanderthal like cavemen.

Just putting in my name along with the other people who want better orcs and more diverse races. I liked how they were in Morrowind! Oblivion, not so much, but every race looked silly in that game.....

I honoustly like the way orcs look like in Oblivion however maybe they can look more like http://www.animaatjes.nl/plaatjes/s/shrek/animaatjes-shrek-09235.jpg

That's an ogre.

I always loved the beastly warhammer fantasy orcs. They really made them look devastating compared to things like dungeons and dragons', warcraft's, elder scrolls' and lord of the ring's orcs.

http://tesall.sigrom.ru/nirn/images/tes/bestiary/ogre.jpg is an ogre, it looks like in far far away the things that are called orcs in tamriel are called ogres there.

But Shrek is an ogre, not an orc. You can't compare the two, that's just silly.

But thanks to that lil convo of yours, I now want to play an elder scrolls ogre as my PC. :banghead:

Curse these tiny orcs!

I don't know, i'm so tired of orcs I wanna puke, i'm trying to create an image of a cool orc in my head but it's seriously difficult.
Just the word makes me tired.

I hope they change the look of them in skyrim and try to make them somewhat unique...

TES orcs look great, especially the ones from Morrowind. I most certainly don't want to see any [censored] Warcraft orcs in Skyrim. TES is not Warcraft! (And thank the Nine for that)

Warcraft orcs would be going in the opposite direction, I personally hate what warcraft did with with orcs. They're so insignificant they might as well be humans, painted green with straws in their mouth.

I HATE the blizzard orcs - I LOVE the Mordor orcs - I... meh... the TES orcs - hopefully, Skyrim will change that.

As for lore, I'd like to see a split between Trinimac worship and Malacath worship.

Is it possible to not make Orcs look and talk like dumb douchebags?
"Oh look! A fly! Buzz, buzz. Go away, little fly."
You know what I mean now

No. Female orcs have to be just as ugly as the males.

I don't think the Orcs should be stereotypical brutes.

I like warhammer orc's, stupid but incredibly strong, an imperials strength goes up to 100 a orc's strength should go up to 120 perhaps? However they have a low intelligence, unless they choose shaman at character creation in which case strength is replaced with intelligence/willpower. Maybe as well goblins(if they are in Skyrim?)should not attack Orc's as they see them as kin?

I hope you do know that orcs are the most intelligent of the fightering races. Well, the females are, with 40 int (average) and males the same as the other fighting races (30)

No, you like Warcraft.

The problem is, the orcs are not brutes, they're savages. They've been like that because nearly every race that has come into contact with them has effectively tried to kill every single one of them. And the crap you are spouting is almost as bad as the propaganda from Daggerfall and pre-Daggerfall Tamriel. The orcs are not kin with goblins, the orsimer (orcs) are aldmer who were turned into "pariah folk" (which is what orsi-mer means) due to their god they REALLY followed close to was pooped out.

And orcs are not dumb. If you think they're slobbering brutes, then so are all nords and redguards. Hell, the female orsimer have 40 int, which is average intelligence (bretons, altmer, and female argonians are the only ones more intelligent)


Seriously, all of you REALLY need to read up on the orsimer, and stop the knee-jerk reaction to make them hot, or nearly carbon copies of Warcraft or Warhammer.

They should make Orcs just plain better in Skyrim than they were in Oblivion. They have below average Speed and Agility and only slightly above average Strength of 45 while Nords, another "fighter" race, has average Speed and Agility while having a Stregnth of 50. Sure Orcs have much more Willpower but most Orcs are going to be "fighters" so what help is that?
