Here's a comparison:

I get that the orcs are brutish tough guys, but that does not mean their smithing should look like it was purposely [censored] upon. Its said orcs are master blacksmiths. Im not seeing it.
The design of these weapons and equipment suggests the orcs are anything but master craftsman, or that they purposely put all these jagged points and out of place curves on their weapons, the latter making no sense at all.
I think orcish from oblivion looked better, and I heard that orcish was meant to look samurai-like in the old morrowind, arena and daggerfall games (which I have yet to play).
Thoughts?
