How do you make a good looking orc?

Tasear · February 2018

Deleted it more then once, and with new update coming... just maybe I ready to try again. So how do you go about designing orcs?

AzraelKrieg · February 2018

Make it female. That's the only way to make a good looking orc.

OutLaw_Nynx · February 2018

You don’t.

Flaminir · February 2018

Judging from previous experience of seeing orcs riding around... avoid the wedding dress... it won't help!

"How do you make a good looking orc?"

Like it has worked for ages upon ages... drink heavily. the more heavily you drink the better they look.

Liley · February 2018

orcs are not supposed to be pretty

but females look better indeed.

Make an orc you want, knock out the teeth and raise the eyebrows and then get a nose job.

Fermian · February 2018

Big beard to hide the ugly face.

Narvuntien · February 2018

Change your definition of good looking.

You have a human version of good looking consider what an orc would think attractive.

Cadbury · February 2018

Us Orcs are not known for beauty. The flesh and blood of your enemies coating your body is the only true way the Orcs look "beautiful". And that's the way Malacath would want it.

ak_pvp · February 2018

Make it a dude and cover it in hair+markings.

Ghettokid · February 2018

Same way you make ugly nord, bosmer, altmer, argonian, khajiit, dunmer, redguard, imperial or breton:
- Do nothing and it happens spontaneously.

ArchMikem · February 2018

Easy, don't even bother making a Male. Guy Orcs are butt ugly. Which is funny cause I've seen some drop dead gorgeous Female Orcs.

Colecovision · February 2018

Change your standards.

Someone @Eiagra posted this orc around here on the forums at some point. People might not agree with me, but it is by far, in my opinion, the most flawless looking male orc I've ever seen.

I successfully replicated it for my own character after fiddling with the creator for multiple hours while studying the picture, but I don't have a pic of my own to post at this moment.

Hippie4927 · February 2018

No help here! I've never seen a good-looking Orc.

jssriot · February 2018

I guess it's a matter of taste. I think orcs look pretty good in this game. They're suppose to be gruff, rugged and hardy and that's how they look. That's its own kind of good-looking.

altemriel · February 2018

you do a bosmer or altmer!!

SisterGoat · February 2018

Orcs in TES are actually a lot more attractive than most other fantasy worlds.

RaddlemanNumber7 · February 2018

An Orc...

A good looking Orc...

VilniusNastavnik · February 2018

You make the orc as ugly and primal as possible.

Thogard · February 2018

A good looking orc is the worst looking orc possible.

That's how.

Cronopoly · February 2018

Best looking one is the Priestess in the main Orsinium city... as far as Orcs go...

LMar · February 2018

ESO orcs are quite pretty. For a race that's supposed to be cursed and pariah their features are not as bad as I expected. My orc looks quite rugged and handsome too and I didn't even have to try .
I could be biased though xD

Paper bags and duct tape

@CardboardedBox - Thanks for the high praise!

It really made my day. I've gotten quite a few compliments over my appearance here, but I don't think anyone has ever gone with flawless. I appreciate it!

And to answer the question seriously, attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. What is it that appeals to you? In my case, I favor big, meaty, beefy, rugged-looking sorts, so that's what I aimed for. It took me quite a long while fiddling with the character creator (and a bit of refinement later when we got appearance tokens) before I was satisfied. So I'd say just take your time and work at it -- you'll shape something that satisfies you with time and effort.

Enslaved · February 2018

Roll Khajiit.

Yup, I totallly agree. You have to work with what's there.

On a practical note, I use the randomizer a LOT when rolling up orcs.

heaven13 · February 2018

One suggestion I have that's applicable for creating any race is to use the PTS. Sometimes characters will look different once in the world. An appearance change token is only a single crown there. When you're finally happy with the look, take screenshots of ALL your slider settings and replicate on live server.

It's what I now do for all my characters and I save my sliders on an external hard drive to look at when I make someone new. Either so I don't end up with an 'omg, headdesk, twins" moment or if I want to create siblings for some reason, j know what to start with.

1. Create "it"
2. Call it pretty
3. Threaten to delete it
4. Watch it cry and beg
5. Delete it hard!
