Wrothgar elderly orcs?

bountyspiter

Has anyone seen these guys anywhere around? Any confirmed locations yet?

Do you mean like the Old Orcs event in Skyrim where an Orc wanted to die in battle because he was aging out of his prime?

I haven't seem them in that case, maybe they aren't having as much trouble finding good deaths in Wrothgar as they do in Skyrim, maybe Skyrim's too easy for them.

I explored and ran around Wrothgar. I found them eventually.

Yeah, they are random encounters, with a low frequency to appear, so filling those achievements will take quite a while, and lots of running. But they are there, never you fear, the old orc surrounded by slain enemies who just weren't tough enough to give him the ticket to orcy valhalla, and the "donation collector" with her trunk and her guard...

I ran past these a couple times before I realized what they were. They are initially neutral Yellow NPCs, so they don't stand out visually. The key is they holler out "KILL ME" when you are in the area. The fight is not too tough, but doesn't end in the Orc's death. Instead, as his health almost zeros, he turns yellow again and stops fighting. He asks for an honorable death, then you kill him without any defense from him.

The "old orcs" show up as Mercenaries, and highlight yellow when you target them. They don't look old. So just keep your eyes out for "Mercenaries".

We do have at least one crib and one instance of a pregnant lady.

Wrothgar is full of random events that just pop up as you are walking along, like Lightbringer and M'aiq. The Solicitor and Old Orc Warriors are two of these events.

That is more legal reasons given some countries they would have to be fully immune to everything.

The reason why their are no really old orcs, orcs think of dying of old age has the worse thing that could happen to them. The oldest orc you will fine will most likely be the clan mother of the current chief.

Basically orc culture is built along the strongest and fittest running things, with the old wise woen of each tribe running things while the warriors fight and when a new chief takes over things change and the old lines can get wiped out

Remember the random encounter in Skyrim with the old orc and he didn't look old, but wanted to die in battle yeah that is the orc mindset

The lightbringer achievement for example, I got maybe one lightbringer when I was doing all search in all zones, cadwels and golds. even now with addon, I still struggle because they are not on the location they might spawn at.
If its the exact same on this achievement, then you have to explore every corner of wrothgar 50 times, and that is not done in a day.

I will tell you @bountyspiter if I see someone. Im starting achievement hunting tonight I think.

No need for a dreadic face, you did the right thing dying in bed is not an honorable way to go dying to a worthy foe is.

You honored an old orc's life by ending it when he asked after you beat him, to walk away and let him live would have more evil then you can think of.

It most likely is, just there is a differences between showing the baby and a pregnant woman, some laws out there can be very odd.

Maybe the souls molag stole cannot reincarnate or be reborn into new bodies and thus there are no children til all of the soul harvest crap he's pulling are put to an end. Kinda like that old ps2 game soul nomad story lol

Yeah it's quite astounding that there are literally no kids in this game. Even though it's only a game, it would add a bit of credibility to the game's lore, story and atmosphere.

Buuut, maybe it's just me, I dunno

I met one only he wasn't call old he was called a vetran and I wasn't sure if I was meant to kill him or not.
