Great job on the orcs

(Possibly) Not so! Dialogue and loading screens in Skyrim hint that a Neo-neo-Orsinium has been built on the border of High Rock and Skyrim.
Sounds like a good lead into dlc

Orcs are good in Skyrim,but theres a lot to be improved even in that regard.

Look at how orcs were in Gothic 3 - sure,it was a game full of bugs at day launch but in that game your choice in that sense had a real meaning and consequences in the game world and how others react to your actions.

In Skyrim you can meet a Stormcloack patrol in Imperial Dress and no one says nothing; you can even kill them sneaking after few seconds :biggrin:
Spoiler
well, if you side with the empire at least they have an hostile attitude

Trolls are another big disappointment to me; instead of the giants creatures we have chimpanzees :biggrin:
perhaps Todd Howard in this case have no word - otherwise now we would have had the fearful Lord Of the Rings Cave Troll at every angle/cave :bunny:

Trolls have always been ape like. Doesn't mean you have to like it...

Where ? :biggrin: we have to discuss even on the "hair/shag" of that apes ? :banana:

Trolls in Skyrim are well designed but ridiculous in their act - in my opinion -apart from someone else's arrangement of course :smile:

Agreed, the orcs are excellent. I thought the trolls were amazing, too. If you're looking for a giant thing, wouldn't that be an ogre?

agreed

Me too. Even though I've always had an instinctual hatred of orcs in RPG's which goes back to when I read LotR in high school, I have to admit Bethesda did a much better job at portraying orcs in Skyrim. They're believable now...not the silly, somewhat rude beings that were in Oblivion.

I love how the Orc's look in Skyrim!!! Everyone of em looks like they would rather rip your leg off and beat you to death with it rather then talk to ya. The custom faces are great as well, my Orc has a scar down the right side of his face which ruined his right eye, and chipped a tooth, he's loosely based on the Orc that shows in the load screen and looks just as mean covered in blood as the one in the load screen.

The Trolls are amazing graphically,i agree on that.

What i was criticizing is they're attitude.
In Europe literature trolls are not so "stupid" sometimes,you know..neither acting like a monkey in a zoo :biggrin:

Perhaps trolls of various nature and size would have been the best thing. Instead we have Frost Trolls and Trolls -only the color change graphically - not to speak of Bears,Cave Bears,Snow Bears.. :bunny:

i.e. in Red Dead Redemption the difference between a Bear and a Grizzly is evident and not only concerning the color and some attribute.
