Orsimer are orcsome. I had an Orc conjurer in Oblivion I was quite fond of.

I don't dislike Orcs but I rarely play them becasue I am not a fan of Axe and Blunt, and that seems to be their focus.

I like Orcs. However, I have a thing where if I don't like the way my character looks, I find it hard to play as that character. Orcs just look bad. It's not that they're ugly, I could care less if my character is ugly so long as the ugliness works for them, but with Orcs...it doesn't. I played as a modded Orc in Morrowind though.

I want male Orcs to look a bit more http://www.naultfamily.ca/dnd/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/orc.jpg and the female Orcs to also look savage but not like men, a http://elsinne.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/orc-female.jpg in this thread comes to mind.

If Orcs fit that look, I'd play as them much more often.

Don't really have anything against Orcs.

There was a quest in Oblivion of accompanying a female Orc to a place from another and I pretended she was my friend.

Within the game I have no problem with orcs. As far as my character, they don't fit the image I have of her

I like the image of the male orc, do you know what that's from?

The female orc from WoW just looks like a very attractive woman who just happens to be green, I see nothing "Orcish" about that. Orcs are supposed to be unnerving, frightening even. I wouldn't be as inclined to raise my sword in defence from her as I would be to raise my "sword" at her request.

Orcs should be scary, not sixy.

Edit* I'd apologize for the poorly executed anology, but I'm really not sorry about it.

:blink: No, they do not! I would be seriously pissed if Bethesda changed their back story. The Orsimer have a awesome back story. http://www.imperial-library.info/content/morrowind-true-nature-orcs It explains why they no longer go by the name Orsimer, why they are not that pretty and why they are pretty freaking angry.

i think orcs are great and are the only worthy enemies for my Nord toons

I like orcs. :c Back when x-box was all the rage my brother and I had sibling orc characters that were very fun to play as. And in Oblivion I had a samurai-inspired orc (admittedly short-lived) that was almost as fun.

I had an Orc Alchemist in Oblivion. He just wanted to pick flowers and stuff. All those mean people making fun of him for being a big dumb beast

In personal opinion, i dislike them not about the fact they're ugly, I just don't like "Animals" no ofense to any character here at the forums.
Veronica socialize ith every race but for no reason is dificult to make a friendship with an argonian.
Sir Clyde doesn't sosialize to much but he respect all races, so he's not racist

because they arent high elves i look down all non hight elves

i hate,hate ,hate.high elves.alot.And I MEAN ALOT!!!n orc with its majical resist and great combat would stomp a high elf.

I don't really care for orcs mainly because I do not like melee builds. Orcs make good warriors which is something I never be. I am always a Mage or a Assassin type which are not suitable for Orcs.

I don't hate them, but when I think of Orcs (or try to play as one)... I think of these http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101014005038/dow/images/d/d3/Dow2_orks_lineup.jpg

I don't discriminate. They're a clean, industrious people.

Do I hate Orcs? Not really, but I don't much care for them. They're generally pretty ugly and sound stupid. Plus, call me old fashioned, but I think Orcs should be enemies. I'd much rather fight a savage Orc in heavy armor as a monster character than interact socially with one as a Mer folk.

Dislike Orsimer? Nope. Almost exclusively play as one. In fact my favourite character is a Spellsword. While he's not "as good" as an Altmer or Breton he's a lot more fun to play. I've always liked the Orcs becuase they are the pariah folk. I've always liked being the minority, and theyre struggle to be recognised as equal intrigues me (and drives my characters). I always play a slightly unusual builds to kind of prove that Orcs can do it. I really don't have much fun with the other races.

Orcs are the very essence of nobility overwhelming bestial nature.

Although their general temperament is quite volatile, when one encounters an Orc... they are almost exclusively polite, generous, and happy to be of service. They are strong, industrious, and honorable, both as workers and as warriors. They are a people who value strength of conviction as much as strength of the body. Every day, they constantly struggle to overcome not only the limitations of their often-inadequate education... but also the severe lack of opportunity they are given amongst the lands of the other races.

Orcs are seen by outsiders as big, dumb soldiers.

"Why send them to schools? Why teach them the 'complicated' arts of magicka? For those, there are already a thousand 'superior' Altmer scholars and magisters. No need to give an Orc that kind of power... he's too stupid to wield it properly anyways. But boy-oh-boy, give him an axe and watch him go."

It's discouraging... disparaging... and it's downright without tact... but Nirn is the way that it is.



I like the Orsimer! As enemies, they are a fearsome foe indeed. As allies... they can turn the tides of war.

Toss in a few mods... and some of their womenfolk aren't even entirely unattractive. I dig a girl who can kick my ass... and the tusks look simultaneously distinguished and intimidating so long as you keep 'em short.

So yeah. Orcs. No hate here!

One of my most memorable characters was an Orsimer Flamedirge (custom class sorta similar to a battle mage) and a number of my favorite characters are Orsimer (whether it was one I was playing or an NPC) so I can't say I hate the Orsimer at all.

The biggest thing I dislike about them is the fact that they have really low magical abilities, and the females have an especially low personality score. Plus, I do like to have characters that I can look at without cringing. I made a pretty good looking orc female once, but she was very pathetic as a mage, even with a mage-centered birthsign... I don't hate the orcs, though. I just don't like being them...

Excuse you, http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t22/Rumple_teasza/Jezahk/ScreenShot610.jpg managed to miss the ugly stick

I love the orcs, but then I have a bias for them in most fantasy. What can I say? I like the underdog. In Tamriellic lore, though, the Orsimer have fascinating depth and their backstory is anything but tacked on. Gortwog was a bitingly clever politician who managed to get the entire race recognised as Imperial citizens and annexe the area of Orsinium as their homeland, and that was as far back as Daggerfall. I love the break with tradition Bethesda made with their orcs; it's so refreshing.

orcs aren't bad I just can't play em till they make a sixy faces mod for the chicks or a better texture mods for the dudes.

To quote the mad plastic surgeon from Bioshock: "ugly! Ugly! UGLYYY!!! :gun:"

All the races are technically animals...they're not rocks or vegetables are they?
