Orc Strong holds and other orc stuff...

Post » Tue Nov 27, 2012 9:41 am

So lately i've been playing as an Orc, i've been going for the foreigner orc character, new to skyrim, not from any of the strongholds. It's very interesting so far but I have a few questions and... ideas that will never make it but it's fun to see what you guys think.

So first is; are there any jobs or quests related to the strong holds? Like that arn't "deliver a sword to someone"?

Second, Maybe the could have, probably a mod for it but i'm on PS3, had a DLC or something similar to Morrowinds... Ravenrock? the DLC where you could make your own village? but have it as your own Orc stronghold. It would have fit right in with the hearthfire I think. You buy the land, find orcs to live and work there, pick a major item to produce like Lumber or minerals. Heck they could go over and beyond and have like, random battles were the Nords nearby could get fed up with you and they attack you. just saying...

I was listning to the Forge-wife of Dushnikh Yal and she was saying Orc weapons and armor was supperior, I'm assuming that she meant everything the Orcs made, so why is it that if I buy a sword from her it's the same as any other? Maybe they could have made it so that it look different? had a little insignia? was stronger NOT THROUGH ENCHANTMENTS.

Is there anything fun to do in the strongholds? I mean something different than quests or sitting around?

again the longhouses bother me like the inns. So the Orcs seem loud and rouhdy yet their longhouse is as quite as a graveyard. same with the inns. I hope that either in DLC, patch or future game they make it so when you walk in your greeted with loud laughing, dunk bantering and fights. of course at night, during the day it's fine...

I know that allot of this would never work due to console and cpu power but it's fun to imagine right?

what are your thoughts? I find the Orcs interesting but skyrim does not portray them interestingly, only their lore.

Unfortunately, they mostly just seem to be there as little added flavor. There is just one stronghold in the southeast with a full fledged quest. Once you approach the stronghold, it will be under attack by giants and you'll start the quest that way.

They make role-playing for me! =)

The Cursed Tribe is the only one I believe. If we orcs are lucky we will get an Orsinium DLC!
