Orcs need love too! Lok'tar ogar!

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 12:07 pm

Okay, the whole "victory or death" thing might have been a bit cheesy. Nerdy even. Maybe it's the WoW fan in me screaming out in pain since refusing to play the game for 6 months. Maybe I miss Orgrimmar? Then again maybe I don't miss endlessly flying around in circles. I'll spare the rest of you that don't play WoW and stop now (thank God Im sure and yes I know WoW didn't create Orcs).

Orcs need some love in the elder scrolls. I'll admit, I didn't play much of Morrowind, even to this day I can't bring myself to play it for more than an hour, but I did play the hell out of Oblivion and even there I, as an oversized green pig, felt underappreciated to say the least. Enough! The glory of the Horde Orcs must be realised! With the fall of the Imperial Empire a new legion of fearless warriors shall emerge. One of the Orcs and it starts in Orsinium. High Rock shall fall and we shall move east into Skyrim stretching far into Morrowind. Even south to the Imperial city itself.

Okay maybe not all within DLC of skyrim, infact I doubt we'll even see High Rock... but it's nice to dream isn't it? Enough of Elves (yes I know Orcs are technically elves) and Humans. Let's see these Orcs live up to their reputation.

With the current situation in Tamriel the Orcs do certainty an an opportunity to expand their own empire, but they have an entire kingdom of Bretons to deal with first.

Indeed which is why a DLC in High Rock should be in the works. Side with the Bretons or Orc. Skyrim already has a great "revolution" system in place with being able to take cities for the Imperial or Stormcloaks. I think this would be a great time to start another war involving 2 races that haven't had much light shed on them throughout the series. Dreaming I know.

I very genuinely do enjoy playing as an Orc mercenary in Skyrim. Heavy Armour. Two Handed Weapons. Hitting things over the head...

It can be fun.:)

Well yeah out of all the people saying and thinking that dlc/expansions are going to be in Morrowind and Cyrodiil (because their landmass is in the game), I'd rather go to High Rock.

Well that would be the thing really. This would be something that a team would need to create. One does not simply create High Rock as a mod :)

Skyrim is one of the biggest games to launch in the last few years. It has an extremely large following. The one thing that I'll never understand is you take a game like New Vegas, one with a large following, and you make a few dlcs for it and call it a day. Then you look at the mmos on the market and see some of them are 7 years old yet still new content is being pumped out on a monthly basis. People pay for this content through subscriptions, but its really no different than buying a $10 dlc every month. So if you're making money, why stop? Just because it's a single player game doesn't mean it ever has to end. There should still be dlc being made for Oblivion. Why? If the modding community is still making content, then so should the developer. People still play these games especially games like New Vegas where we probably won't see another Fallout game for a few years.

You know everyone wants to go back to Morrowind and Cyrodiil. We've already been there! And while it would be interesting to see how things have changed, I would still rather go some place new. That's not to say I wouldn't jump on Morrowind or Cyrodiil DLC because I would, but why let Skyrim fade away after only a few releases? Let's see some real content being pumped out here for a good 2 years if not longer.

I will admidt that the Orcs are my faveorite of the Mer's, But still... I am loyal to the cause of man. And there are Orcs in game that mentioned that the Empire has been good to them, so it cant be said that they dont get any credit.

Totally, I know I said the same thing around here as well.

Orcs are too cool to not take this opportunity.

I mean just look at my Orc, how is that not awesomeness in all of it's glory?

Hah! Proof gentlemen! Even now Sauron is marshalling his armies. Within the Black Gate the dark lord ever gathers evil to him. Safe within Barad Dur the great eye watches ceaselessly, his gaze fixed upon Rivendell. Gandalf we must act, the ring cannot stay here. The elves cannot hold back this storm!

Not so much as evil as the orcs were in lotr but still victory at any cost warrior culture type thing.

As long as Orc's can keep the Skyrim Berserker Rush ability, they will always have a place in my heart with a Greatsword in their hands.

Orcs are my favourite race in TES, They were my first race in Morrowind,Oblivion and now Skyrim. I would welcome any quest line that involves the Orcs. The Strongholds were nice in Skyrim, but sadly not interesting enough to keep me coming back to them.

Gotta be honest, I usually play a Breton or Imperial, but every time I see that loading screen with the Orc covered in blood with two Orcish war axes in his hands does make me want to roll an Orc character.
