my first dude is a khajiit assassin with daggers and bow but for my 2nd i wanna play a 'jack of all trades' who uses anything to get by in the world and i am considering an orc for that one
To Orc, or not to Orc: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to Argonian The slings and arrows of outrageous Dunmer, Or to take arms against a sea of Imperials, And by opposing end them? To Altmer: to sleep;
Lol! I totally read the title in his voice! Weird.
I actually plan on playing an Orc for one of my later playthroughs. I think the answer to why most people aren't starting out as one is literally because their [censored] hideous.
a youtube video shows why here it is ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5FRbZ1zZm4 ). It alos shows why nobody plays female high elves (they make for the ugliest barmaids).
If people want to play as a big warrior, then they choose Nord, because (1) they look less ugly and (2) because they fit the Nordic theme.
Well come on.. Orc + Dragonborn = what were you thinking when you hooked up!
I'm playing as an Orc now that magicka is not based on race, but where you input your points. I've always wanted a Orc Battlemage with some conjuration skill.
Think I am going to start the game as an Orc Warrior with a two handed axe specialization. Going to make him a good guy. Later I'll probably go back as a Human Warrior with a sword/shield spec and be more of an antagonist.
But in all seriousness, Ppl want beauty and power. If they think something looks cool they will play it for that. Orcs are ugliness and supreme jaw dropping murder trains with no break, But again ppl want something that looks cool and not ugly.
