Orc reporting in.. I have had a few previous characters but the orcs are definitely my favorite race to date for melee. Here's why:
1. Look at em, they're bad as*.
2. Look at their woman, some they shave their heads and that is bad as*.
3. Orcs are so good at crafting weapons and armor, the orc that just killed you back there prolly made that armor AND weapon himself.
4. They're bigger than the average man = intimidation.
5. Growing up in an orc stronghold is a lifelong bad as* training camp.
6. A dragon that wanders into an orc stronghold would be called a p*ssy and eaten for lunch.
7. They kill their own chief to replace him instead of voting for a new one.
8. Their homeland is in the mountains where they worship Malacath (one BA dude) and kill shi* for fun.
9. All four strongholds in Skyrim are in strategic corners of the map ready to eliminate the inferior Nords... and everyone else.
10. You're probably mad right now you didn't make an orc.
11. Orcs don't run from a battle.
12. Orcs are the finest troops in all of NIRN.
Yup, Orcs are pretty BA... how's your race going for ya?
Arguements against Orcs
1. They look good, but are ugly
2. Shaved head on a woman looks too masculine
3. Orcs don't kill me, so I don't care if he made that weapon and armor himself, because I just took it and sold it.
4. My Nord is only an inch or two shorter and he makes Orcs run like hell if they come upon him. Battle Cry is equally as effective
5. The strongholds are not Orc bootcamp stations. Only those that have a chance to become chief compete in combat and some don't even do it then.
6. A Blood dragon recently landed in Largushbur as I was finishing Malacath's quest. He ate, Gularzob, Ugor, and Lob and was only brought down by the giant outside of the walls when I prevented it from flying away. Orcs got effed up.
7. Nords fight against each other to establish dominance, but they are far more civilized now and do it in the name of honor now.
8. They live in the mountains and have destroyed their own kingdom dozens of times. They have no country of their own and Malacath was eaten by a Dunmer-Daedra (Boethiah)
9. They live in strongholds because they would get a William Wallace claymore shoved up their asses if they encroached on true Nord territory. They stay in strongholds for cultural and physical protection.
10. I'm quite proud of my Nord, who skins Orcs and curb stomps them into the Throat of the World if they cross him.
11. I stated above that Orcs run from me every time they attack me and I own their ass.
12. Orcs have never conquered mroe than themselves, while a Nord conquered Tamriel and became a Divine.
Arguements for Nords
1. Nords have never been conquered, lived in a frozen waste, and populated all of Tamriel with branches from their race.
2. They were attacked by the Falmer and crushed them into the snow.
3. Nords are the vanguard to every human army in Tamriel
4. Resistance to hypothermia
5. They defeated DRAGONS in a war and were the first beings to produce a Thu'um (aside from dragons)
6. Tiber Septim. That is all that needs to be said there
7. Nords are the most populous race in Tamriel due to their skill at procreating
