The Orcs
Most of the Orcs live in
large tribes in the southern parts of Rivellon. All tribes pursue
different interests, and inter-tribal conflicts are a regular
occurrence. Some tribes even keep contact and trade relations with
humans. Once a year, all tribes gather in the Plains of Grak-Nal-Dur,
where the brave Orc warriors celebrate their raids and pillages
against the rest of the populace. The individual tribe leaders use
this gathering to forge new alliances with other clans. Some Orc
warlords would like to unite all tribes under one flag, however, this
is a dream still seemingly out of reach.
We have many different classes of Orcs in
Divinity, they are all rather unique and have their skills and
hierachy in like your human community. Although not overly
intelligent, they rely on brawn over brains and can decimate in an
instant. In numbers they are a force to reckoned with and can lay a
castle siege with out warning as you will find out in the game, but I
won't go into anymore detail as there are alot Orcy surprises in
store...
Orcs are rarely alone in Divinity, they are
like wolves, they hunt in packs and draw strength from numbers. When
you see an Orc, you will know that others lurk close by ready to
pounce. You will notice this alot in the game. Orcs have always been
seen as a stupid race but don't underestimate them... they are very
curious and a hugely mischevious bunch. For example there will be a
point in the game where an Orc Chief can't find a legendary axe...
guess who he asks to do this dirty deed? Of course you can refuse...
but would it be wise to refuse an Orc chief that stands almost 8 ft
tall? I'll let you do the math :) There will also be points in the
game where they carefully lead your character into traps that are so
obvious yet hard to resist.
As Orcs hunt in packs, it means that their
teamwork has to be well co-ordinated. Each Orc we created will go
about doing their regular task. Orc Warriors are like cannon fodder,
they charge without thinking twice, the Cross Bow Orcs stand closely
behind them firing while Orc Shamans will be blasting a whole load of
annoying lightning and fireball spells. Their interaction together is
like a unified chain, destroy key links in an orc formation and you
will see them scamper...
