Orcs are kinda ugly, but they also look tough! And weird. I think the orcs in Skyrim are just buff dudes with funny teeth and bumpy noses at this point. Older orcs were way uglier.

I've been able to stand playing something not as visually pleasing as other things if I it has an advantage since Diablo 1. In Diablo 1 on the way down to the 13th level you always come across an enchanted Breastplate. It's classified as the heaviest armor for terms of appearance, and so it makes your character look wicked cool. It only has 20 defense though, and so you should really stick to anything else with higher defense, named Scalemail or something, which by comparison makes your guy look kinda lame.

Watched my brother struggle. He wanted to continue looking cool, in spite of having better armor, so he died repeatedly, and he couldn't beat the Hell levels.

So when I played, I sold the breastplate and opted to use scalemail with 35 defense instead. A few hours later I'm killing Diablo(though by then I'd found Enchanted Gothic Full Plate w/ 54 defense which did make me look cool AF), which made my brother mad but also hopeful. He'd thought the game was going to be impossible to beat, but I beat it, and I was only 7 or so.

My other brother almost can't stand to play male characters if female is an option. Everybody gots their preference.

I pretty much wound up sticking to Orcs in Elder Scrolls for a few reasons.

1) Berserker Rage is <3
2) Except Dark Elves, I don't really like the other Mer.
3) Imperials and Bretons are wienies.
4) It always makes people who ask me what I play in Elder Scrolls turn their head or drop their jaw.
