Playing through my first Orc character. He is a pure warrior, no magic, or stealth. Smithing and enchanting weapons and heavy armor is all he does besides kill. I started him as a 1h and shield wrecking ball but it doesn't "feel" right. Thinking of going 2 handed or duel wield axes. Is duel wielding with no block affective? What do most of you Orc loving warriors play as?
Orcish armor is actually really good, you might want to go 1hand axe and shield, and take the bashing perks for the shield. You'll be more like a tank, marching forward, slowly dismembering everything in its path. Honestly, you can't be supremely effective with 1hand/shield.
Some people love duel wield, some people can't stand it.
