SFBryan18 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The answer is obvious, but too many times have I seen people argue against it so I made this poll to see how many get it right. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntsman2310 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Orcs are a race of Mer whose god was corrupted and changed by Boethia into Malacath, them changing physically along with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFBryan18 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well, I see there won't be any debate over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdonin Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I would really like to try argueing that they aren't (if only for the fact i CAN) but i can't seem to think of a single thing to actually support that possition. Without evidence, theres no arguement to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3507349User Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I'd be more interested in a discussion on the nature of giants. Judging by the pointy ears and the fact that they are intelligent suggests they are also a mer race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staind716 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yes, of course. The true question is are obvious polls a sign of boredom? :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsharaMeradin Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Are Orcs a type of elf? I'm going to say "no" in reference to the Forgotten Realms and DnD lore.I'm going to say "yes" in reference to TES lore. Since you didn't 'specify' a particular lore world, I can't answer the poll :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFBryan18 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yes, of course. The true question is are obvious polls a sign of boredom? :tongue: I posted it really quickly just to see if there was any debate. I had seen a few people try to argue that they weren't on a workshop mod comment section before, and then yesterday I read someone had wanted the Orc to be included in Elven Overhaul, and the mod author down rep'd them (-100) and said... "Because it says 'elven', not 'orcish' or 'orcish and elven'. Yes, before someone swoops in, I know they're Mer, but that's just being obtuse." First time I noticed that you can no longer down rep a mod author in their own thread. Anyways, it seems everyone agrees that they are elven, so I wonder why they are never included.

huntsman2310 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 ^ I think it's because in the present games, they are counted as beastfolk alongside Khaajit and Argonians. So in the present they are orcs, but in the past they were a race of elves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
