honestly, I think what he might be asking without even realizing it, is that shouldn't the Orc race *default* to the standard orc alliance (which is daggerfall) unless he *chooses* to make it a different alliance - and I don't think it does.
I've made several characters, and I haven't yet detected a pattern that decides what the default race, gender and alliance are, but alliance and race do NOT seem to be automatically linked during the opener character gen screen, as near as I can tell.
So, what I'm saying, is it's possible that, because you bought the pre-order, you have the "option" of selecting any race for any alliance. The "option" isn't something you select personally - all it does is un-link the races to the alliance options - which means it's quite possible that when the character gen screen popped up, you *picked* orc, you picked gender, you automatically *assumed* that the game would link orc and daggerfall, but it may have opened on a different alliance, and since the alliance/races are no longer linked, didn't move it when you selected orc.
Hope that made sense...I'm just guessing, but it does match my experience building some of my own characters - i'd make a breton, and then look down to see what alliance I was in, and I seem to remember it wasn't DC every time.

Not necessarily. If he was clicking on different factions before choosing his race. He most definitely made the change himself. Which is what seems to be the case.
