It feels contrived for the sake of being "different". As if it were following a formula for being cool, and in doing so, missing the chemistry. When its done well, its integrated and organic, and seems to fit into the story. When its just a random "kimono on an orc", it just feels like a cheesy "combine 2 random things!"
Its the same with the Stags of Z'en thing. Like they went "you know what was cool in Morrowind? Insect armour! Let's do that!" when the original was integrated into the world, cool, unique, but believable, fit the tone and engineered right into the world.

Hmm. Fair enough, I suppose. I personally think it's well integrated into this game, because we get to see the differences in Orc Culture with the Wrothgar DLC, which I think is one of the best ones in the game IMO. But, I can see that point too.

Specific? Yes. But odd? I don't think so. People just happen to love the rough, aggressive, barbaric roots of the orcs. Skip me on the lame, kimono-wearing "oUr OrCs ArE dIfFeReNt" ( https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurElvesAreDifferent ) crap and keep these images coming!
Stags of Z'en fits the world. It is a bosmer motif and for once show that they are excellent crafters (compared to their lacking furniture), especially with leather, and finding creative ways to use animal products. As the lore says. This includes using the various giant insects that are found in Valenwood such as thunderbugs.Supreme_Atromancer wrote: »Its the same with the Stags of Z'en thing.

Why is the subject controversial? I think the subject is fine.
If the subject was “High Elf Mages” would we even be discussing it? Yes, we all know High Elves are more then mages, but the subject is the subject.
If a post was made about dark elf assassins, or wood elf archers, would we still be having this conversation?
The subject is orc chieftains and/or berserker/brawlers. It’s fine.
