I was watching Gopher's video of TESO and in it he complains about the lack of horns for Orcs, something Skyrim had. And that got me to thinking, the Orcs didn't have horns in the games prior to Skyrim, so can horns actually be considered a traditional Orcish feature? What is the lore regarding Orcs having horns? According to lore made prior to Skyrim were Orcs supposed to have horns, or was that something Bethesda came up with out of nowhere when they made Skyrim.
And what about the noses? The Orc noses in Skyrim and TESO are a lot different compared to the Orc noses in Morrowind and Oblivion. They changed them to look like human noses, where as before they looked more like flattened snouts. What is the explanation for this?
