Lehcar Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Has anyone else noticed that darkspawn look and behave very very similarly to orcs? Methinks that was no coincidence. http://www.ikoncollectables.com.au/images/dragon_age_s1_af_genlock_lr.jpg http://www.shadowoflegend.com/Files/Site/Image/2008/08/15112016.jpg http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080924063851/forgottenrealms/images/b/b4/Half-orc.jpg http://www.dragonage-game.de/images/content/creatures/hurlock/hurlock.jpg http://rwizards.org/Applets/orc.jpg http://images.epilogue.net/users/aleksi/aleksi_orc.jpg http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2009/357/d/a/Dragon_Age__Ogre_Fight_by_tycarey.jpg http://mythicmktg.fileburst.net/war/us/home/images/art/WAR_Hammer_v_Black-Orc.jpg http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/images/behindthescenes/blur_orc_paintover.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Every videogame loves its stereotypical mass murderers with no morales. They make good enemies, because you have no qualms killing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancelotLoire Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Most games that involve humans, dwarves and elves almost always put them fighting against orcs or orcish looking creatures. Who can blame them though, Orc's are ugly :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akatsuki555 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yes, I've had thoughts about darkspawn-orc similarities, especially about genlocks.They seem very similar to orcs (at least to me) . Hurlocks a bit to ones in LOTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selvec Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hard to escape that stereotype in high fantasy. High Fantasy itself is almost defined by such stereotypes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
