I feel like the "must be inclusive" clause when it comes to mods is really restricting when it comes to skyrim. It's this MBI rule that actually ruins immersion. Like, say I'm playing an Argonian. I shouldn't have to go through the trials of joining the Brotherhood, since I could have been raised since birth to become an Assassin. Does that really make any sense that my character would have no recollection of what the Brotherhood is? Some stories really can only be told from the perspective of a particular race or gender. Look at that Orc woman you meet in Markarth, who left her stronghold because she didn't want to be the third wife to a warchief. There's character motivation that could never exist if that character was being written as a Breton or a Khajiit. But even then, yes you're right. Malacath himself doesn't care if his followers are Orcs, they're just his children and the most likely to worship him. The Orcs have their own culture, but it's never implied that Malacath and the Orcs agree on everything. The Orcs don't use magic, but like you said, Malacath didn't care that you were a Breton Mage, just that you had conviction to do what was needed while a true Orc was nothing but a cowardly backstabber. But how about this for a mod, you the player find an Orc stronghold, taken over by Foresworn rebels. They've slaughtered most of the Orcs, except for one, who sits drunkenly in a nearby village, feeling weak for loosing his home. When he sees the courage in your words, he agrees to fight at your back and help you take back the Stronghold, telling you about a secret back entrance to a mine that he knows of that you can take to kill them off. Once the foresworn are dead, you have a partially broken down Orcish Stronghold that you can rebuild and repopulate. You can bring your husband/wife from earlier, or even marry the Orc who you met at the Tavern if you want. You can then find others around Tamriel who would be honoured to join your Stronghold and fight for you. And as you rebuild the Stronghold, you can choose how you want to build it. Maybe you're a High Elf and you want to add Elvish designs to the houses and colours. Or maybe you're a Khajiit and you'd like to get nice soft sand to replace the hard dirt to make you feel at home. Or maybe you're an Imperial, and you want to establish a trade route to Solitude to sell Oricalcum to the Empire, mined through the large mine you used to slaughter the Foresworn earlier.
