A new Skyrim build you should try! https://youtu.be/xScZWYoVb4w

Thats an awfully long video to recommend “stealth archer”.

The spiffingbrit already did this.🫤

Huh, try this on legendary folks. I think he’s on to something

But its completely usless….. the dark brotherhood gear is massively OVERPOWERED, and it’s no secret.

You can be on legendary difficulty and it wouldn’t matter your 1 shotting with bow sneak and backstabs….. as a wood elf….. any race for that matter.

Doubling the already ludicrous 30× damage multiplier = 1 shot to 60× = 1 shot 😂

Lol. The fact that I’ve done this on accident.

Would this build translate well in eso?

Most people play orcs for berzerker rage It literally fits into all builds

Im actually doing a stealthy archer orc run right now. How ironic. I figured with the berserker rage it would make for a pretty cool run.

Ya, or you can get a good dagger and 16x sneak tack damage with daggers.

Y’know, baring in mind the Japanese inspirations the Morrowind-era orcish armor had, this makes perfect sense. Heavy armor, non-stealth archer designed to take advantage of orcish rage as a bootleg sneak attack.

You thought your Orc playthrough would be anything other than another Stealth Archer build? BAH!

so what you’re saying is…orcs are excellent stealth archers?

I am sorry but an Argonian Stealth Archer is better.

Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys

But I think the real question that needs to be asked is, does it double unarmed damage with gloves of the pugilist’ enchantment? 😆

That’s not a new build man I was doing that when I was like 16 I already knew that assassin ork was dope

Wouldn’t any non mental damage be physical

it doesn’t matter what class u pick when u have a butter knife and fork with chaos enchantment

Assassinates angrily

Ah yes nothing more satisfying than angrily sticking a dagger in someone’s back

Damn fudge, that crosshair is sexy.

Bro it is 2023 no one cares about Skyrim.

I’ve already done this and it is F***ing broking

I made a player that a lot of people don’t like

I could one shot Alduin with a human warrior dual-wielding maces, and you’re telling me I could be doing twice that damage with an orc? Damn.

So that’s how I one shot alduin

As if an icicle piercing someone isn’t physical damage…
They should rephrase it as damage dealt with a tool which is powered by the movement of the body.

I’ve honestly never played Stealth archer, big hammer orc all the way, give me the damn dragon Femur

I am orc racist, orcs cannot be heroes

If I play an Orc, I play as an assassin, or I just go around eliminating bandits

I’s there a mod list you have to make your Skyrim look the way it does? Id love a video on it!

Yeah but powers can only be used once a day

look you havent played skyrim if you havent activated your berserkers rage ability then immediately transform into a werewolf and slaughter a dragon

Kaioken times 2

My favored assassin build:
Breton
Conjuration (Bound Weapon)
Illusions (Quiet Cast)

Disappointed that no one seems to remember Spiffing Brit did this exact thing years ago.

Orc Conjurer is on of my favorite builds, the stacks of bound damage with a little points into fighting, I always fight with an army 😂

Dude I’ve never even struggled a little bit as an orc in Skyrim. Taking half damage for 60 seconds is normally enough to destroy most things and if they aren’t then it gives you time to heal

Me waiting 24 hours every time I fight a group of enemies

Stealth archer with buff?

Orc rogue best

True, but orcs are ugly.

Am I the only one that hardly ever plays stealth archer? My go-to is one-handed/shield warrior.

Reminds me of Blind Wave’s take on Superboy from Young Justice. Him screaming “STEALTH MODE!” while raging like the Hulk

Does this work with unarmed as well?

Making a stealth archer is already the most overpowered build available

I think I’m the only one who’s never played a stealth archer

Fuck… time to reroll again…

But… But why? Once you max out sneak and your weapon skill of choice, you’ll be able to one shot most minor “bosses”. Shit I think I’ve one shot some dragons as well with both my Nord and dunmer rouges.

Literally 12 years later and I am still learning things from this game XP

the arrows hit harder because I shoot them angry!

Now I know why orcs prefer honorable combat

Being a shadow with a bow is just too easy.

I Like orcs in 2hand builds… why? its cool…

This was my first ever play through ❤️

Stealth Archer man. It always finds a way to rear its way into every build

in other words, heres some icing to put on top of your usual stealth archer build

Skyrim is so fucking over rated is insane

I always played as a Nord. I started as one on Morrowind and i kinda got stuck as a Nord for my main (I can;t play for extended playthroughs with any other race. Argonian was kinda there with like 10h played to my like over 1000h+ as a Nord in Morrowind,Oblivion,Skyrim.). As for berserkers rage i just restoloop nowadays and become God.

I mean let’s be real any assassin (especially with a bow) is extremely op anyway but I never would’ve thought of doing this. I’ve l actually only had like maybe one orc play through

So it’s basically a Doom Guy if you gave him a Crossbow.

*ragefully sneaks around

My first playthrough build

For the hoard rrrrraaaawwhhhhhh

WOAAAHHH1!!!1!! A stealth archer build???

They’re better at basketball too

I prefer a Nord Tank build by running straight in with heavy armor while screaming obscenities as I swing my war hammer

Can you do it more than once per day tho?

Screw your cowardly stealth archer build, I WANNA SLASH STUFF AND EXPLODE PEOPLE. In Skyrim, chill.

hands up if you’ve played this game long enough to not give a flying F***K and walk around with OP mods

I was really disappointed when I first learned that the berserk rage didn’t apply to magic. Though I guess magic is already pretty strong

Backstabbing does 60x dam you said it fiest

Yeah, but what self-respecting orc would do this. This is city orc thinking, just take the war hammer and bonk.

And so long to find out!! I mean I figured berserker rage was broken but DAMN!

I like it but something’s about tanking a bunch oh hits and one taping everybody and also not to mention dragons aspect with berserker rage goes crazy

I did not know Berserk damage applied to bows. I never considered a stealth orc build but now i may have to think about it.

Yeah okay well someday you’ll get to a point where like 10000 times more damage wont make a difference anymore

I read somewhere that their orc build was a well rounded warrior with a dash of stealth.
This really validates the stealth part.

No “Racial power” Can Rival Zoro’s +200% Damage against black people.

Current orc build battlemancer (battlemage/necromancer) , two-handed weapons as extra challenge cause why not.

I always knew Orc was the strongest race pick in Skyrim for that insane ability they have.

Everyone said it was Breton for that passive magic resistance but truth is all roads lead to the magic resistance cap with the right enchantments no matter the race you pick.

Chicago is full of Orcs.

i chose orc to hit thing with big hammer

The bow string slap alone could cut bones

It’s so weird that people love stealth archer or see it as inevitable. I consider One Handed/Shield to be my “inevitable” build. They all end up there.

yeaaa archer needed MORE OP ability..

Bro could one shot mirrak

Use the berserker rage then tranform to werewolf = literally unstoppable for 60 seconds

Look at that orc in all that latex

An orc paladin is filthy too, message me anyone for the read out for how to put one together.

Never considered that, maybe next build

I only play orc. Ever since Morrowind.

I once played an orc assassin it was fun af

It always go back to fucking stealth archer

Bruh even the orcs aren’t safe from the stealth archer play-style

*quietly berserker rages* rah

stealth archer continues to rein supreme

orc assassins is unrealistic.
they are big and clunky
We all know that there is no better than the superior Dunmer.
fire resistant
great at magic
agile
and good at starting a business where they borrow khajiit and argonians from the wild or a village and train them to be better beings.
😛

I love my orc dagger build

Haha, Smithing go brrrrrr.

Yeah nah an Orc assassin is bloody terrifying to imagine! 😂

Ya know why ya neva saw any sneak boiz? Cuz the sneaky ya idiot!

Its nice as a 2 handed orc you can see how realistically strong the dragon ron would be. Immediately cutsceneing dragons when they land 😂

Ngl arbitrary.. 60 seconds once a day… accompanied by the most useless effect of being able to freely walk in orc stronghold.. 💀 personally I find racial abilities so useless and situational I literally don’t use em cause I forget they exist 😂.. I think the most useful is the Imperials Voice of the Emperor.. most power calm spell in game and it’s pretty useful if u accidentally hit that river wood chicken or an non hostile npc.. 😂 I’m not impressed really by arbitrary damage.. if I one shot mist things with my bow anyways why would I need to one shot that enemy 10x over… ?! that’s just me personally IMO

my favourite ork build is the rage werewolf. hilarious to do, I killed miraak in 30 seconds not counting his reanimation cutscenes. werewolf ring that gives double damage while you take double, plus rage gives you 100% more damage while you get no downside. hilarious and you should all try it.

Finally I’m so happy for this orc recognition!

But, only 60 seconds at a time

Yeah played this for awhile played stealth archer and ill be honest it’s not fun and moveing slow and killing everything in one shot doesn’t feal satisfying if feals the opposite like too easy like there should still be some kinda chalange so I only do stealth Archer till I get most the sneak based skills upgraded then I move on to everything else tbh my favorite playthrough is fist fighting lol its not easy on a high difficulty and a fist and shield is a weird combo

I tried doing an Orc sneak archer, ended up as a crafting and enchanting build with no points invested in the sneak perk tree, yet loaded with overpowered gear, hell, my Daedric bow does 330 damage on its own(it’s upgraded alright to legendary). Plus tons of poisons I brewed, it’s truly overpowered.

Just imagine the horror of being attacked by a 6’7 200kg orc assassin

Berserker rage stays active when transformed into a werewolf….

God no wonder stealth archer is such a common build in this game. It’s literally broken.

Nah a two handed hammer is more fun

One of the best play throughs on legendary was this one

Still with the wood elves 🎉

I will say if you want night vision but don’t want to be a vampire. You’re only other option is the Khajiit.

Don’t forget use dragon armor shout, racial orc ability and werewolf form

Stealth archers my beloved

Orcs make good spellswords and battlemages too if you leave out destruction magic and use the others as support magic

Getting 30x damage on sneak attack one-shots almost anything already, though.

Yeah, but you dont need that much damage for literally anything in the game

If you start as Imperial citizen, you also gain op ability to calm enemies down. That means enemies suddenly stop being hostile after using this ability.

I hate that armour set wish they still had the robes

iron dagger

Just another reason to belive in Orc supremacy

all roads in skyrim lead to stealth archers..

Are people unironically playing some kind of meta in the easiesr rpg ever

Oh boy you’re in for a trip … that 60x damage is insane and I love it

Actually an orc archer sounds aswome

This on my blender build would be really potent… There’s this steel dagger with a special crit modifier by the closet lake to the exit of helgen and the first town you normally go to, then you can use the shout that let’s you attack faster because it’s not enchanted, it’s modified, and you can dupe the dagger, or use something else, get the one handed crit level up upgrades if they work for you and other stuff if you really want, but there not too necessary, hold down the dual wielding heavy attack or just start swinging and become a blender that destroys everything in seconds, with this it would become like a single second, and you’d be harder to kill, tho I didn’t have much trouble with not dying since I killed everything to fast. I think it’s one of the more potent melee builds in the game without having to do any smithing or enchanting and it’s really fun for a melee build, I even stopped using a bow, that’s how fun and potent I think it is tbh.

Uh oh no seesy me

So once again, this proves stealth archers are the best build! (In vanilla, at least.)

But warriors do benefit from it still, they just don’t get sneak attack multipliers?

You don’t need this. Stealth archer is already broken on its own. This is like setting a cannon ball on fire before shooting it. Is it gonna do more damage? Yeah, sure. But is the cannon ball still gonna kill anything in its path regardless? Yes.

It’s just overkill

Badass

This is why I always tell new Skyrim players to play orc. They’re simply too fun.

yeah – once per day *yawn*

One-handed and spellbreaker all the way. I could never go back to archery

Just imagine an Orc Assassin getting caught and just pulls out 2 Orc Swords and starts going berserk

I assume this isn’t for people who have an enchanted wooden sword with a 10000 shock and health steal

Snikrot type beat

Orc assassin. Fastest way to turn the tides on the skyrim space program.

I believe if you use the Berserk it remains even after your transform into werewolf form and stacks with Ring of Bloodlust. So I thibk you deal x4 normal damage while having no real disadvantage.

Strong thinks orc knock off super mutant…

Yeah thats cool, but i like big sword

Nothing I wanna do more than play a stealth bow build…

Again

Orc’s Beserk + Werewolf transformation =you become carnage incarnate

I’m always sneak bow killing bitches

“…and there I was on the border back-to-back Ghorbash, a sword in my right hand and magic on the left, ready to bless this holy land with our divine force. Was down to my last spell, so I yelled at Ghorbash from across the orphanage. I said Ghorbash I need some help… never have I seen an Orsimer kill a room full of people so fast in my life. But after that I woke up in a wagon with a horsethief and oversharing Nord” but in all seriousness The khajiit Spellswords are too addicting and fun to not play

Except all Once Daily powers suck and can’t be relied on to use when you need it

Never played but in my head I’m imagining two guards making small talk on duty like:

*roar in the distance
“The hell was that?”
*FFFT
“Don’t know. Might be a bear.”
*FFFT
“How you know it ain’t a dragon?”
*FFFT
“Because we’d be seeing the damn thing before we could hear it flying towards us in the CLOUDLESS SKY, moron.”
*FFFT
“Well it can’t be a bear. It’s winter they’re supposed to be sleeping, genius.”
*FFFT
“Still more likely than a dragon swooping in coming here.”

“How about a Dragonborn then?”
“What th-“

My first build was a Warrior Ork named “Ulric The Destroyer”, and I had no less than 2k steel arrows with maxed out stealth tree for this reason 😂

I like playing as a stealth illusionist, but conjuration is my typical backup. Hopefully, this ability can boost bound weapons

“But they aren’t benefiting from this overpowere-”
Its stealth archery isnt it

They need to add a pvp mode to Skyrim so bad.

Berserk rage is my fave

It’s one of the very few that are useful during any point of the game

By Azura, this is awesome!!!

Me who doesn’t play meta and has a cute Breton Knight-paladin Spellsword: cute

skyrim has gameplay?

So this is why the old Orc asks for a Warrior’s death. They dipped into the stealth archer and couldnt accept the legitimacy of the playthrough anymore

This is interesting, but fuck it. HAMMER ORC SMAAAASH!

Nah orcs ugly

My orc was the only reason I beat oblivion on the hardest difficulty. Godspeed Morak

this is a ten year old game, why is this trending?

Does Berserker Rage count Bound weapons as physical attacks? I assume as Bound Bow counts for archery and Bound Sword for One Hand

So just sneak archer minus the sneak

Played an orc archer for a while. Once I got my hands on the cross bow I accidentally made skyrim an fps haha.

I don’t remember the cool down

And they got horse size D in LL mods.

“I would like to RAGE!”

angry but precise

Gotta love Bethesda Multipliers.

i saw a vid from the channel “Shadiversity” that discussed weapons that would be best for orcs and he came to the conclusion that due to the enhanced strength orcs have very high poundage war bows would be devastating

Even though orcs from most stuff are usually evil, orcs in the Skyrim games are not always.
They hail from the province of Orsinium, and are many of the best fighters on the entire planet of Nirn. They live in orc strongholds which are sort of like tribes, but some of them choose to leave the stronghold and become wandering stealth archer assassins.

I use mods to play an orc shaman, I see them a lot in fantasy and thought it would be cool

It’s like dnd, sneak attack and barbarian rage at the same time.

Stop misrepresenting this game by pretending its combat has depth it doesnt

I wanted to go for a battle mage, like a mage but who swings, ended up with a tank orc with giant sword 🧍🏻‍♂️

I literally started an arc stealth archer playthrough about an hour ago, and I feel called out.

We should really stop using the word “broken” for this. Something is broken when it’ doesn’t work, not when it works too well.

oh god, the stealth archer meme was right!

Screw wood elves then.

Interestingly, my first ever character was an orc assassin.

It never occurred to me to use the Berserk Rage ability, though, since I already had absolutely OP daggers and armor.

I don’t really use once per day powers. Yeah you can just skip 24 hours after each wave of enemies but that’s just lame for me

Back in the xbox 360 days, crossbow orc. Stealth was optional and or Bethesda’s opinion.

Oh, you’ve opened up a beautiful door

Bethesda: *Designs Orcs to be melee focused

Skyrim Players: “So you’re saying stealth archer?”

There’s a reason why my Orc Paladin started investing in sneak and archery, once he maxed everything else he needed for his build and when he discovered the crossbows…

i always played a orc archer called Lurtz

Holyyy never realized thsi

This also include werewolf damage, so turn berserke and just after turn werewolf, and the berserker skill will last as long as the werewolf skill with double damage …

Or just acheive this with master enchanting and smithing while saving all the enchanters and blacksmiths philters

I thought it worked on magic too? Or was it changed?

Nobody knows that lol

Stealth Archer is the superior build 😂

My first Skyrim character was a dual mace wielding Orc, the game was a joke and I made another character because it was literally too easy.

If you use critical charge and sneak sprint roll you can get x 120 on a dagger sneak attack

No need. Assassinations are already extremely overpowered without the race bonus.

I haven’t played sneak archer for almost 2 years now. I just played sneak archer again 4 days ago, sooo satisfying

Time to make a gobbo

This overpowered build actually makes the gameplay balanced/realistic for you, and an enemy doesnt look like a porcupine by the time they fall to your arrows

You do get the double damage dealt and half taken buff but you also have to play as an orc so…

I’ve never played as an orc. I don’t plan too either.

Stealth archer damage increase huh.
I guess the 5000 one shot damage isn’t enough yet, time to make an orc

My orc is just BONK.

Bezerker archer is quite an amusing thought

What kind of graphics mod is this

“they make excellent stealth archers”

Berzerker dealing double damage with bows logic :
Me pull on the string really really hard cause me angry

NO MORE BOWS! I REVISIT THE GAME AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR AND ITS THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY IT. IM SICK OF IT. I WISH TO BE A MAGE. I AM THE ARCHMAGE AND I GOT THAT TITLE WITH A BOW, IM SICK OF IT. IM CURB STOMPING THE NEXT FALMER THAT PULLS A BOW. BLIND BITCHES!

I use a Dwarven Sphere, two summons and Serana to aid my Orcish mage in combat. That group could down half of Skyrim before lunch

Orc unarmed build with ordinator perk overhaul light armor and high sneak
Sneak up on someone rage then suplex them
Without them having a clue what happened!

Tbf, there are like 50 playstyles in skyrim, and 48 of them are overpowered.

Or.. just make an warrior.. fckin lil sneaky honorless bastards..

Huh no wonder my first playthrough was easy on master level

One of my favorite builds

Stealth archer about to be even more cracked

well damn… now I gotta go play an orc assassin…

Imma need sauce on those arrows

I dual wield power attacked a dragon with daggers for x30 with berserk and the dragon DIED and then took off and flew backwards through the sky and then returned and fell back onto the ground lol

warrior is better for orcs you use both you damage boost and damage resitance, as a asssin you only use your damage.

Time to replay skyrim as a stealth archer just after I finish my 9th playthrough of New Vegas

I’ve always been a dark elf fan, really neat that the orc power isn’t set for just one playstyle, which is really neat compared to other race bonuses.

Well it makes sense that orcs would be great archers since its mainly strength.

Kid named redguard:

Well time for a new playthrough

Anyone know if this applies to bound weapons? This would be great for an orc assassin who specifically hunts daedra and their cults

My favorite character was an orc. All the different ways I played, it was most fun to go all orc rage and just tear everyone apart.

My 2nd favorite was a pure summoner. Familiars, atronachs, zombies, thralls, the stone across the river from whiterun that allows you to resurrect most bodies near you.

If you do it right, you can have an army like 10 deep roaming around with you for a couple minutes.

I love skyrim.

I dont use any of the active abilities of races. Never have. Granted. I’ve only played orc like twice.

My favourite class for survival!

I get that there’s not much to talk about lately but really? It’s come down to making shorts about racial abilities?

I played an orc my first play through back on release. A few years ago i loaded my save to see what id done, just to see my character standing in his underwear in a room full of cheese and apples.

“I’m so angry I’m gonna assassinate everyone.”

Does that extend to conjured weapons

dude, i grinded for the best daedric war hammer with all these buffs like dragon aspect + orc rage with some high damage health enchantment on the hammer and would just smack around dragons like nothing

Shadiversity was right all along!!

I probably going to play, it’s been a few years. Orc Mage, but conjured swords

Stealth Orc ftw!!

Bows are already so OP in Skyrim that I used an Orc as a close combat heavy armored bowman just for shits, running around bashing people with the broken bow melee in between blasting them point blank with arrows. XD

Good thing I wipe out the orc strongholds

Me doing this since skyrim dropped:

Fugemuppet: did you know

All in good fun my guy

That seriously reminds me of that orc that was a part of the Dark Brotherhood back in Oblivion. You can’t get caught if there aren’t any witnesses, so technically he was being sneaky

Ahahaha are you really min maxing Skyrim my guy??? This game is older than you I bet 😭😭😭

And here I’ve been a complete idiot using the sneaky cat for the sneaky assassin where I could’ve been a sneaky green boi

I would like to test. But Orck’s woice is large turnoff. If both (male and female) sound basicly someone who had been on whiskey and Malboro diet last 20 years… Hard to think anything than, “hulda from sm-plays) or Someone who had way too many arrows to the head. Even with Smoothing mods…

Orc’s are #1 cool guys

Orc stealth archer confirmed. All classes are blasphemous

I love stealing there ebony ore!

You say over powered ability but they took away orcs having a passive which really annoys me.

I’m dual wield berserker rage had me one shoting dragons when they hit the ground.

I have always done this by making a lanky, ugly-goblin-looking, orc outcast. It is my favorite roleplay for a stealth archer. One of those “They thought he was the weakest, so he became the strongest…” stories.

My heavy armor bow assassin Orc was able to put Alduin down in 2 shots. Kills almost everything in a single shot. Only the toughest of dragons managed to survive.
And then i started exploiting later to see what damage i can do and somehow became weaker when the menu showed the damage as a long string of very tiny numbers

I only play mage, other classes sucks.
*Proceeds to cast conjure bow while stealthed*

they don’t just sneak attack, they do it angerly

Stealth archer? Daring today are we? I bet you have boone as your companion in NV

Im sure all 3 orc players found this interesting

Hey i commented about this on the other orc video 🙂

*Sigh* *Boots up skyrim again*

Clearly you’ve never heard of every build I’ve ever made, the stealth archer

I do conjuration battle mage orc so i know that it effects my spells but go off

I didn’t know it applied to bows

Because the stealth archers need more power

Are you really advocating for stealth archers?

Pair that with an enchanted bow, a ridiculous alchemy skill with wild buff potions, and the slow time/archery build… It’s a wrap for literally everything that moves.

That’s just an even more broken stealth archer build

*STEALTH ARCHER IS ETERNAL*

How do you turn invisible like that a forgot

It’s kinda lame to minmax Skyrim

Yep but with some clothes from the brotherhood it is quote funny. Spiff made a Video on that lol

Lol I doing a orc play through as a conjure and enchanted my weapons with life steal and maxing out regeneration magic I went through the black book quest and all I did was hit the seekrrs did not have to heal

I’ve always played as an Ork, Gorgo Gütt was his name and for his size you’d never hear him.

What about bound weapons?

one of the last genuine fishermen on youtube. what a start to the year

The Rage ability ist really usefull for people who want to play as a werewolf, since you basicly have no armor as werewolf, taking only half damage is a godsent

Ima have to look into this because I restarted as a Orc (only been a woodelf)and it seems I’m susceptible to everything damn thing. Play as my accursed brethren they said it’ll be a nice change they said. I have never been some humbled by this game as I have been playing as a Orc. So this I will defiantly be falling back on.

yeah orc assasin was like my third charecter i b-lined the dark brotherhood for those gloves
that double damage is great

Give that orc a dragon bone bow legendary crafted and he’s even deadlier than anyone wielding a dwarven enhanced crossbow 😂

NEVER, I WILL NEVER STEALTH ARCHER AND YOU CAN’T MAKE ME.

Build diversity illusion of choice

I specifically limit the number of arrows I can carry to the number in the quiver to avoid stealth archer, and now you’re telling me this, stop tempting me stealth archer

For the moment i though you was going to mention their resitance to hunger, fatigue and cold, which makes them the best race for Survival Mode

To bad sneak archer is boring as fuck… NOW GIVE ME THAT TWO HANDED EBONY AXE, I’M ABOUT TO GO ON A RAMPAGE AGAINST THESE BANDITS HERE!

Skyrim has Orc?

And I now know my next play through

I’m playing an orc in bonemold armor who is currently dual wielding fine forsaken blades

I can’t ever remember playing an Orc TBH. Or a stealth Archer.

Guess I should make another Breton battlemage.

Orc is my fav race in Skyrim because of their underdog status

I mean it is cool and all but sleeping everytime 1 day is kinda boring i usualy use it on boses

Use mehrunes razor as well surely you could one hit alduin

Wait 30x I thought it said 3x?
Have I been reading that pop up wrong all this time… 😅

Also an Orc Companion would make an incredibly satisfying playthrough.

Picture this… you are an Orc that hates your your tribe’s path, but loves your people. So you set out on your own so you can return to your tribe with your accomplishments and newfound friends as proof you are the true leader. So you go to the human world where reknown grows on trees for anyone brave enough to climb.

*spoiler*

Just join the Companions on this playthrough, all you need is your strength and heart. No silly magic for this one needed. You later find out a big secret about the companions, a secret that combined with your tribes power helps you and your people become the most powerful beings on tamriel.

I love this idea, because it is painfully obvious that some orcs will be opposed to this idea.

Fucking Orc Werewolves…. each one could pop that racial passive and hit foes like a truck whilst being unkillable. 1 minute is all it would take for them to overwhelm many a foe.

I just wanna be a buff Orc Woman with a war hammer. Sick of the archer builds. >:(

Well there goes my sneak archery/one handed nord build😅

Just when we thought sneak archer couldn’t possibly get any more broken

And then there’s my mod that only buffs damage and stamina regen when I’m almost dead lol.

Finally,, a viable archer build for Skyrim

Bro yr mods

Interesting… I wonder if this applies to Fus roh dah? Like to the fall damage?

You still take half damage i still use orcs even whoth my mages

An ork assassin. Heh heh.

This character is basically a orcc that had learned how to channel their rage into their combat.

God imagin the role play… So damn cool

Orcs make not only great physical assassins but even better tanks or berserkers if you’ve done the playthrough I did,had outright hated mages and finds their attacks a cheat so dons armor with enchantments to prevent the possiblity of critical magic damage

I have an Orc character but never knew that the Berserker rage could be used for bows

The first time I beat Skyrim and it’s dlc was with a stealth archer. Now I got a conjuring Nord who struggles to survive off of beef

I remember when I first started this game I thought “wow there’s a stone age camp” and I ran there to look and they were a little bigger than I excepted and they killed me in 1 shot.

I then used berserker and killed my first giant

this finally makes a sneak archer playable

Orc is one of the only races i can stand to play in vanilla anymore

Elemental wind and two deadric daggers with this ability stack with a double slow time shout with a full set of double enchanted fortify resto boosted sets of armor with 10-20 rings and amulets of Talos, gauldur amulets, fortify restoration to fortify smithing to hone your weapons to legendary+ status. Then specifically handcraft potions to give you the best possible resistances and make a poison that paralyzed, drains stamina, and kills your enemy. Poison both blades. Use the perk that allows poison to last multiple hits. And be afflicted by both vampirism and lycanthropy. 🐲🐉 The Chim build

Thanks for confirming my theory about hand wraps and orc racial!

A major stealth archer buff

Makes sense for bows being inclyded, that strength lets them nock the arow back really far

I just whack them with a mace then disintegrate them with sparks
The ol’two piece

This is why Argonians are better because they have better traits if you wanna be an animal race. Also, I never feel like I use the Khajit’s unarmed claws unless it’s that one girl in the Whiterun Tavern💀

Add the fact berserker rage works with stealth archery and the elemental arrows and you have a match made in hell! >:D

When I play an orc I roleplay as one of those traveling orcs that just want to die in glorious battle before they get too old. And I play self-enforced ironman mode when I do this. So, whenever I die is when I stop. No sneaking, no fast travel,, minimal magic until you reach end game, heavy armour and any arrangement of melee weapons. Start at lowest difficulty and increase by one difficulty level per ten levels gained.
I’ve found the classic sword&board setup to work best for survivability in this. But any one handed weapon would work well. I personally prefer maces for bypassing armour. And I say minimal magic because waiting around for the health regen so as to not waste potions is just annoying.
And big tip for the early game. Make sure you’re not walking into anywhere too dangerous early on. There’s a few places that have bandit leaders, even in the very early game, and if you’re not careful you could end your run after only a few levels.
Also, it’s a common strategy, but hold onto a level up if you’re thinking of going somewhere dangerous. Saves on potions.

Incredible badass, for one minute a day, yeah nah I’m sticking with Breton so I can stack that magic resistance.

Orc is your only realistic chance at beating Skyrim on ledgendary start to finish.

What crosshair mod are you using I need it

Damn

Stealth archers are always overpowered and the go-to method no matter what playthrough you try to do you always revert back to stealth Archer

That’s pretty fkn metal

Sounds like a blast. I’ll have to check it out. Might even bring me back to Skyrim. Who knows.

How does the orc stay stealthy if he’s raging?

Guard: *sees and hears orc rage sneaking*
Orc: *mumbling angrily. Notice guard* “YOU DO NOT SEE KROK THE STEALTHY”
Guard: ….. yes sir…. *small terror cries*

I started skyrim as a orc stealth archer.

And I’ve played it since 2013.

I especially like to use crossbows against the forsworn so they cant use the bolts after I hit em hard

But can it beat the Ebony Warrior

For malacath

Been considering trying an orc

Honestly Skyrim really damn near didn’t do anything right except for species development. Even though it probably wouldn’t fly nowadays all of the racist comments and bigotry amongst the individual races of tamriel really adds another layer of depth to the world as you truly get a different experience with each playthrough.

Oh, you want me to play sneek archer instead of a mage?
Sigh, ok, il just not use Bound Bow and invisibly and instead use a normal bow and stealth armor

i swear I’ll never use stealth when I finally play Skyrim

I thought I was the only orc assassin

It’s funny in the older games where races get speech buffs/debuffs towards each other, and everyone hates Orcs. It somehow makes it more fun to play haha

Why haven’t I thought of this?

The Dragonborn orc can kill even the Daedric lords with such power. Just approach, I don’t know.. Dagon.. while he is sleeping or taking a dump, as a orc with all the sneak perks, the assassin glove, two of the best daggers, activate the racial power and maybe.. just maybe, use the shout to make the weapons swings faster.. the level 3 one, along with all perks into one handed. You would either kill him or annoy him a lot.

I like to scale my orc down to the size of a child and rp a goblin lol

“Most people playing an orc in skyrim…” Ima stop you right there.

You could do anything in Skyrim and it’s overpowered.

of course it’s broken, it’s stealth archer

People keep saying stealth archer while i ALWAYS go for battle mages or pure mage

My first and only character was orc lets goooo

I only played ork because he looked cool and I thought weapon repair was a thing “it wasn’t even in the game”

I never considered that for vanilla content. I have however made a few orcs while using the Amazing Race Tweaks for orcs and rolled a werewolf heavy armor 2 hander and a mage. Never even considered archer before. The ART:Orc mod alters thier base racial power and adds a reusable minor power among a smithing passive, enchanting and heavy armor bonus.

telll us the build

It also doubles werewolf hits

This is how I designed my Orc Assassin. Favored bows, but also went down the full werewolf tree. Using the Berzerker/Ring of Hircine Jig, alongside stealthing and archery, left me with horrendous battlefield control. It was glorious

They really took the nords original buff and distributed it to other races leaving them with the weakest buff

A pure mage Orc must be the most useless combination possible. You get no passive abilities and your special power has no effect.

Any assassin is overpowered lol you don’t have to be an orc. The orc build just makes the npcs racist against you lol

as if stealth archer wasnt broken and boring enough

Become a girl and find the perk that lets you do two times to opposite sex then 120x

Ever seen a purple orc? Exactly
