I very recently started a new playthrough, and decided to make my first Orc.
I'm not really into BIG BULKY SPIKEY(horny) barbarians, so I made him into a more modest build.
I gave him a pretty nice backstory, which basically involves him leaving Orsinium for the Imperial Legion, being gone for years, and coming back to try to find a normal life (unfortunatley, I discovered Ghorbash The Iron Hand has the same story...) and gave him a random orcy name; Ghuz the Travelled.
So I started my game, and rather than fueling my bad habbit of collecting EVERYTHING, I decided to only carry what is esencially needed (something ive been meaning to do for a while)
Meaning he will only carry Axes, Maces, Hammers, Armor, Gaultlets and Boots, and refusus to use swords.
And boy do i love this style! I've always ignored blunt weapons, but i really enjoy the power >
I havent tried beserker rage yet; is it helpful?
And have any of you created a build completely different to your normal style?

Here is what I going to do when I play a Orc which is going to be my next play through. (To I the Orc is a big improvement from the last game from the looks department.)
I be male or female (I have not made my mind up what six I will be.)
I will be in the imperial side.
I be using two handed. Sword and blunt no shield.
I be using light and heavy armour. Unlike my character I am playing now ( she will not wear the fallen armour), my orc will be wearing the fallen armour. Light or heavy or both.
My Orc will not live in the walled city or a village. That means he or she will not be getting a house. Instead, my orc will be living in orcish stronghold that is dotted around Skyrim. He or she will be moving from one hold to the other.
If my orc is in a city will be buying or selling stuff and looking for work.
The only god my orc will be worshipping is Malacath.

The Berserker Rage is the most powerful ability in the game for a melee character. Run head-first into a Giant swinging those axes with Rage turned on and he will topple in seconds. I have made every kind of class you can imagine but my 2H Axe, Heavy Armored, Smith Orc is my favorite kind of warrior

Maces are brutal. Especially when you take the perks so they nullify 75% of armour... o_0

And Berserker Rage is the gamesaver. It pretty much means you are the Incredible Hulk.
