It was just me identifying myself with the character on screen. Not to mention the orc race had probably the best looking characters in game... except maybe dwarves... and female dark elves, if you know what i mean kek. Then again, i don't expect Extra Credit to know much about gaming, even if their channel is posing as a "gaming" channel. Probably the only reference they got in fantasy RPG's is WoW.

The traits that specific races have in fantasy are just a part of the genre, and it makes it even more interesting when they have a character that breaks those conventions.

    Bit of lore for the DND nerds. Orcs AREN'T inherently evil. Weird right? Now don't think that means I agree with extra credits. If they had actually spent time to read up on orcs in the (What I think Extra Credits is pointing too) DND mythos. You'd know that orcs are mainly controlled by the orc god Gruumsh. Who forces them to BE violent, savages, raiders who plunder and pillage. There are definitely orcs who CAN go outside the norm (Just look at half-orcs). But they are ALWAYS called by Gruumsh to fight, pillage, and fight some more. It's a calling that orcs experience CONSTANTLY AND WITHOUT END.
    So yeah. Try to talk to that orc raiding tribe that attacked the village. I'm sure Gruumsh will tone down to "MURDER AND FEAST ON THEIR ENTRAILS" for just a minute for diplomatic discussion.

    Extra Credits actually made me feel physically ill. Don't know if it was the audio or the video.
