  Solid build. Powerfull, very well grounded in lore, and a rich RP experience for anyone who wants to play as an orc. I foresee it rising soon to master rank.

  Excellent and interesting build Mason

  I've never made a single Orc in Skyrim and only dabbled briefly in Oblivion because, like you, I never found a way to play them that interested me. But here is a build that combines a fleshed out lore background, which helps me certainly, together with a clearly defined focus. 

  I'm not usually a purveyor of heavy armour / block type play style, but this might get me making this guy - not least because I've not done the Companions quests or done much with the Civil War yet.

  Instant 'like' from me

  nice! this sounds like a really interesting character, i've never really found Orc interesting but this one certainly is, its a like from me :)

  .....is it just me or does the first pic make him look like a humanoid fish? urgh no more late night horror movies for me..

  A really cool warrior build specialized in poison damage!

  Great build if you want to play an Orc :) And if we disregard the lore, it can still be applied to other races.

  +1!

  Simple but effective, just the way I like it! I've always considered poisons out of the realm of 'sword and board' fighters, but I see how it could work very effectively on a defensive build. Just a note on the armor, if you want to get a set early there's a full set ready to be stolen from those lesser orcs at Largashbur. I'd probably use a Honed Ancient Nord War Axe or Nord Hero War Axe, they're better than Orcish/Dwarven weapons and still look sufficiently brutal. Only thing I'd want to add is perhaps a few good poison recipies (I think there's one or two for Damage Health, Lingering Damage Health and something else), and the importance of using Weakness to Poison poisons, particularly in the special moves - bashing your 'poison of damage health' hotkey with Quad Damage will be significantly more useful with 20% more damage from all the poisons!

  Another nice build, Mason.   A viable option:  dual-wield axes, and omit the 'block'.

  Awesome!  I was just thinking today that I had never actually played an orc, and was considering a good build for one.  Would going two handed over one be a viable option as well?
