Once you go orc you never go back.

If you into min maxing, go Orc, only if you plan on going 2 Hand route. Orce racial makes boss fights easier.....

Lmao I was thinking the same thing

Once you get green, you know what i mean.

I'm an Orsimer Companion/Werewolf - between the beast mode and my berserker rage, I feel I can handle any situation. BTW, in full legendary dragon plate armor with sword and shield I'm a pretty imposing force already without resorting to specials. Orcs FTW

i really enjoyed my orc and it was fun to roleplay, but i can't count the number of times i got one shot by an ice spike spell.

Orcs are strong - but a couple of dislikes. When I trigger berserk I sometimes have a hard time "spotting" my target. Your vision does get distorted. The frigging Orc grunts when hit are well annoying. Sounds bad. The Zerker ability has zero impact against magic. If anythig I can kick the crap out of any melee toon - mages are a pain. Plus no racial resistance/constant effect ability. The only race that does not have one. Not sure if a once a day ability is worth that tradeoff.

Nords get the fear spell which sends the little mages running. Plus the +50% frost resistance.

Orcs! They'll tear your frigging head off! Nords! For that deceptive touch of humanity killing them dead with the carnal tongue of ancients as the war paint comes alive!
