I started this thread, I don't know why it came up anonymous. 
Did anyone else try not to kill any of the Orcs? (Jaz, I KNOW your with me on this)
It really bugged me to have to kill the Orcs at the cemetery and also the guys who were attacking Ur-Shak. Other than those 2 places I never approached them without the Ulu-Mulu.
It just seemed SO wrong, I mean, they never left the Orc land so anytime you met them, you were invading them!
I don't know, it just kinda made me feel bad, am I alone here?

Yes, it bothered me quite a lot. I feel this is lazy, sloppy writing.

They're orcs. Subhuman monstrous scum. To quote a villain from an RPG "Silence dog, you have no purpose but to die by my hand." They may be sentient, but so are the members of the Old Camp any any other person you have to kill in the game. They're just monsters... and you're doing the king a favor by wiping them out. Since that's PROBABLY what you'll be doing on a massive scale in Gothic 2...

Hell YEAH I killed every orc I came across, except for Ur-Shak and the slave in the Free Mine. But I repaid Ur-Shak for his favor by wiping out the entire Orc Town right in front of his eyes. Hell, if there were orc children, I would've found a way to spit-roast them.
I hate the orcish race. It's the deep-lodged hatred of a roleplayer towards those subhuman scum. In words of my favorite NPCs, "There are never enough dead orcs, that's what my father used to say."

I would not kill any of them (except those attacking Ur-Shak) if they would not cost XP. Experience points worth more than ore!
PS: Oh, the Crossbow of War is damn good! I love its powerful sound! Combines just fine with 103 dexterity.
PPS: Not killing them is easy cause there are always several ways to reach a certain place.

I was annoyed by the fact that orcs die if you beat them up, just like the Gothic animals, even though Xardas assures you that they aren't animals (which I believe ).
Yes, I'm with you on this one, Gig. I just took out those who were necessary to take out for my survival/solving of quests, which, alas, were too many already. In the cemetary, for example. Outrunning all of them was just plain impossible.
EX and OH, orcs aren't necessarily 'scum' and 'filth' just because they're different. They, like humans, are just the victims of racial misunderstanding  .

Jaz, you're goody-goody ways are starting to rub off onto me. Now I'm feeling guilty about killing the Orcs.
And I must admit, I loved playing as the Orcs in Warcraft II. They were definately more fun than the humans. |

I'm not loyal to the king, he threw me in this stinking hole, I devote myself now and forever to his complete destruction! I shant rest until his stinking, bloated corpse decorates the countryside and all of Myrtana is free from his tyrany!
DEATH TO KING ROHBAR!

The revolution starts here!
Question: Are you going to recruit the Orcs for your cause, wipe out the King together and then coexisit peacefully?

Bah! Racial misunderstanding is a Krush Varrok stuck in your skull. Those foul creatures prey on us for food, as if we, humans, are beasts! They invade our lands, trap our adventurers, and worship demons! Their shamen make mockery of our art of magic by defiling the runes they steal from the dead bodies of our mages!
I might harbor no liking for King Rhotbar II, but should His Bloated Majesty find a mission for me that includes slaying orcs, I shall take it...

I left the orcs alone after I got the Ulu. I think I had killed half a dozen up to that point. I really did'nt see the point of killing the orcs. Also I did'nt bother killing the OC guys. It seemed like an afterthought. I just went for the Sleeper and finished the game. |
