Why Not an Orc?

Seeing the starting bonuses, why arent more people choosing to play as an orc for a warrior archtype?

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;

Need a Dragonborn? Why not Zoidberg?

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.

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.

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).

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.

I'm all over that Orc battle mage, the new Redguard racial is good but double damage and half taken is just awesome.

I always have played Nord. They just now finally gave them what they deserved. Now if only we could buy longboats.....

Viking Blood makes a Viking.

But I would roll an Orc in tribute to my Warhammer Army.

Waaaaggghhhhhh!

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.
