in this thread i will bring forth one of the playable races of the World of Warcraft universe, and if this thread is succefull of some non-playables as well. Each time you post you must say a positive thing about the race and a negative thing about the race. This week's race: orcs
Uhhhh Odd Orcs. Well. They were the original badasses. Screw those weird ass Undead or those ***** Blood Elves, orcs are just hardcore awesome. They probably smell REALLY bad
good: they arent a clichued out race, but in fact a little original bad: Thrall is too perfect of a character
Thrall's actually supposedly pretty quick to temper and takes everything fairly personally. He's just a good fighter and diplomat, nothing special. The Doomhammer on the other hand, is perfect. As for the Orcs as a whole, I wouldn't say they're completely original as they're near exclusively based off the Warhammer Fantasy Orcs. They're not original, they've just been recontextualised.
You forgot favored by the Elements and damn before good fighter. No one said they're completely original, but you've got to admit that there is very little left of the original Greenskin in them. They look similar/the same and are still warriors, but even most of their bloodlust was blamed on demons. 'Based off WH Orcs' is where it ends
oh, and orc and tauren architecture and doodads are the worst in the game, you see them once, and then forget all about them
Quite tough from being corrupted by demons, then turned that around back to their roots. Seem maybe a bit bland now like the Humans, since they've been in every game now.
