ahotbanana Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I wouldn't say that the Orc power is particularly OP really. If the Oblivion combat system is anything to go by, warriors are no match for a mage with high illusion and conjuration skills. Assuming you are playing for the sake of actually being the most successful character: while an Orc would be taking half of the damage it would usually take, an Altmer will be invisible, hiding somewhere, taking no hits at all and having summoned creatures dealing all of the damage. Hence taking 0% damage and not having to do ANYTHING to inflict a huge amount of damage on a horde of foes. Added to which he wouldn't just be able to do this once per day, it would be a repeatable combat strategy without waiting 24h in game. On top of which you'd be able to cast paralysis on enemies with a high illusion skill It would, of course, be a hell lot more fun to put the Orcs' racial ability on and charge into a legion of goblins whilst wielding a hammer the size of a child, but I wouldn't say it will be the best battle strategy.

aaroncox Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 it's pretty cool. but i wonder how the claws work for the lizard people? does anyone have any idea how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziljan Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Orcs deserve something for being born looking like green boarmen. But really it's not a serious power. You can get the same effect on any character by adjusting the difficulty slider down. In essence, orcs are now the official noob race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldur80 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 it's pretty cool. but i wonder how the claws work for the lizard people? does anyone have any idea how it works? You mean Khajiits? The Khajiits have a claws racial power. And I'd be interested to know how these work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razthemystic Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Orcs deserve something for being born looking like green boarmen. I always did feel sorry for them. It's hard to tell the males and females apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Khajiits have a claws racial power. And I'd be interested to know how these work. I hope they actually use claws and not just get extra hand-to-hand damage... Kinda hard to use your claws on someone when you're hitting them with your fists. In fact, that'd be a good way to maim yourself. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenOfThieves Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Nords get a speechcraft bonus but not Imperials? Wut? Well looks like I'm going to go in a totally different direction with my Imperial character. The Dunmer seem awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalibanX Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Boy, I just noticed that Orcs also get bonuses to Smithing and Enchanting. I'm assuming this combo will give them the opportunity to make doubly deadly weapons. Sounds like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodinfested Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 There will always be a race or class that will be op you just have to face the facts there is no true balance unless you have one race with one class. But I’m glad that it’s a melee base op vs a caster op because in about every mmo and any other game casters are always op it’s a very refreshing change of pace.
