So my orc battlemage discovered one of the orcish strongholds and I was all exited about meeting more rocs, but they wouldn't let me in!
The were all like 'Oh you are an outsider, our strongholds are only for Orcs!' even though I am an orc!
I mean the big tusks and green skin should give that away right? Are they all nearsighted or is that a bug?
Honestly, it sounds like a bug. I have an Orc at the moment as well and when I stumbled upon the stronghold south of Windhelm (I think) they greeted me with open arms and let me mine their resources without a second thought.
