Which may or may not be an improvement over the orcs in Morrowind, who were more like Klingons. "Fight well!" :laugh:

I tend to role play a lot, and lose myself deeply in the world, and the Orcs just don't do it for me.

Because i don't want to be a giant green gummy bear.
For my 'barbarian' type of character, my choice is Nord, mainly because of looks. I am vain that way.
I hope the Orcs are improved for Skyrim.

I like them as NPCs, but I don't personally wish to play as a big green guy with overdeveloped canines.

They must be very messy eaters. :yuck:

I agree with this, Mazoga is my favourite NPC and I always make her essential.

I started my first Orc character this weekend. Like I say above I've played every race except an Orc and Argonian.

So far he's doing very well. Mostly bashing Goblins and Bandits with an Iron Warhammer (just made it to level 2).

Regarding the looks, yes it takes some getting used to. But it actually works out really well with the right mind set. You're a big (I have a bulky Orc mod loaded) ugly warrior with a huge weapon running after some enemy - I could just sense the fear!

Hooray for Khajiit!

From the Desk of Sir Rugrat gro-Shurgak, Son of Lord Rugdumph and Knight of the White Stallion:

All of this bald-faced disintegration is exactly what I have devolved myself to have to fight time and again! It may be true that my kind are not physically atrocious to your eyes, but who beneathed you the right to judge? I surmount that the fair Mazoga is as pleasing to my eyes as any wine-swilling Altmer is to yours. It is all a matter of perspiration.

We stand at the dawn of a new Era. Must we still be plaqued by the prejudgments of the past? I remit this to you as food for thought: If you have occlusion to find yourself on Dive Rock with the Uderfry Underfr Big Troll Matron bearing down on you, who is more beauteous standing at your side . . . Mazoga or the so called ‘comedy’ lass who serves ale in the tavern?

Of all the races (save perhaps the Argonians) the Orc disparages the most nobility. We have suffused the most hatred and prejudgment from the other races. Even the vial stories of our orifice have us emigrating from a God’s hind end! When does it end? When do we find exception into ‘your’ society without having to enrage in ignorant discussions about our lack of aestatic beauty?

You take role playing to whole new level. :mellow:

Destri, I can't express how much I love Sir Rugrat gro-Shurgak's letters. They always make my day.

You've got his manner of speech dead on! It's amazing, yet quite understandable. My mind boggles at how you do it :bowdown:

Sir Rugrat gro-Shurgak, I offer your my conflagrations for your emboweled defence of a much macerated people.

I thank you all on behalf of Sir Rugrat. :touched:

I'm so tempted to make a stealthy Orc, mainly to see how they look squished into that tight Dark Brotherhood armor. Maybe using a tiny dagger to further break the stereotype. :wacko:
