One thing that has always bothered me is that the males of almost all races in the game are substantially heavier (elves being the exception) but despite this have no additional strength or constitution.
I've seen enough threads to know not to do this with humans, but what about orcs? I've always seen orcs as resembling a primitive and barbaric nature and a vessel for displaying cultural views that have been viewed as 'evil' by modern society and and the humans of the 'medieval-themed' fantasy world.
