There are no less than four separate mods on the Nexus claiming to fix a bug that assigns female orcs male walk and idle animations. I have a couple of questions, too, that some knowledgeable Orsimer can answer. I haven't gotten a chance to find out for sure, but it appears that they are given vanilla voices (but not all have the vanilla Orcish voices). It adds 20 new Orc NPCS throughout Skyrim (most are members of the various guilds, some are city guards, some are in strongholds), who are recruitable and (in most cases) marriageable. It has an optional file to relevel Dwarven, Elven, and Orcish weapons to make Orcish the strongest of the three (since Orcish armor is already strongest of the three.) This mod does the same for the weapons added by the great Heavy Armory mod.ĭominions More Orcs is one I'm interested to see at work.

Weapons and Armor Fixes Remade is another that's not explicitly Orc-based but still great for an Orc playthrough. Warchief Armor is pretty well-known, but still worth mentioning, as it's so perfect for an Orcish character.

Here's a neat Orc-themed one-handed sword with ebony strength, for those who want to continue using Orcish weapons late into the game, and for some reason aren't using warhammers. Here are a couple of mods that haven't been mentioned yet. Since I've been planning an Orc playthrough, this came at the perfect time for me.
