Who could stop the orcs?

    Not currently when the Redguards are unified. It doesn't matter if the Bretons get attacked first. Orcs just won't make it passed the Redguards. Hell there is a reason why they celebrate defeating the Orcs. Not many other races could have done it.

    Redguards are never truly unified. Anyone landing on your beaches while you're unprepared can run you out of town. And they just keep coming. They're not so great.

    No, all they did was beat the original denizens of Hammerfell, the Orcs (twice), the Bretons, the Left-Handed Elves, and Tiber's little legion (Sorry, Stormcrown. No outright conquest for you).

    Aren't you forgetting the Dominion Matt?

    Ah, of course. Too many victims to remember *Evil laugh*

    How did that imperial flag feel though? Was it a nice fit?

    Morrowind's Houses united. (If that's possible. But only if they saw the Orcs as a threat)...


    ...Or just the Telvanni and the Redoran...

    ...Hm... Maybe, just the Telvanni.

    After we won the battle of Stros M'kai, yes.

    So, after you won, you STILL were submissive to the Empire. Mmmm...that sounds logical.  Spock would be pleased.

    Except that they had no say in our political system whatsoever.

    Could you say the same about Skyrim? I suppose they just couldn't figure they were being submissive, we've come to expect that of the Nords.

    Btw the orcs aren't very bright. Most are just taught the arts of combat and/or military discipline, very few dedicate to study, things like strategy and combat tactics aren't taught by just swinging a weapon.

    Having many limitations in what type of fighting style they use is a big drawback to a strong race(physically but overall lacking)

    Tolkien orcs are the only orcs I recognize...Get me them, and I'll get you High Rock and the Reach and Hammerfell.

    Hahahahahahahahahaha! Didn't Boromir kill several Uruk-Hai (stronger than orcs) with several arrows in his chest?

    skjor and kodlak- haven't you heard the tale of the 101 orc beserkers? skjor says it was more like 40, but he was just being modest- Ria

    Maybe a necromancer and Skjor and Kodlak? ;)

    Yeah, but Boromir was also a boss and in line to be steward of Gondor. He was a hero, not a common soldier. The cat that killed him, Lurtz, was a beast as well.

    Boromir was a boss, I actually think he should've been the main protagonist (Someone tell me they wouldn't enjoy that?)
  • December 16, 2013 9:44 PM EST

    NOoooooo.

    That would have thrown off the whole dynamic of the story...like, bad.
