How to roleplay an orc guide!

[Thazzrill]

Hey guys. I don't really like advertising my stuff here, but I thought this video specifically would be helpful as I made a quick guide on how to RP an Orc, and the whole guild is about that, so wouldn't know any other place that would be better for something like this. So I hope this helps some of you guys out!

It's a nice beginners guide to roleplaying an orc, giving some suggestions and advice for archetypes and general history and behaviour.
Some more recent history could have been useful, spending a minute mentioning the internment camps and that it's only recently we got to Kalimdor, those two are very common beginners mistakes.
I think the most useful thing out of it for such is those parts of it. It's nice to see guides with specific races in videos.
While there is some solid advice, I reacted to that rogues were mentioned as the lowest of the low. Both rogues and hunters could very well be roleplayed as scouts, or just more nimble warriors. I know you mention repeatedly that it's just suggestions. But the way you speak of it make it sound much more locked in place. ways to avoid that is to say that they're commonly like that, or that they're often like that. Rather then that they are like that. Same things with the clans.

If you're doing another video with racial RP, my advice would be to focus less on the ingame classes, and more speak about roles in society.
For example with orcs there's the grunts, there's scouts, there's spiritualists. Most orcs are expected to be able to hunt for their own food, so if you speak of roles in society and offer suggestions on which classes fit which role, it'll sound less locked in place and static.
I'd also skip talking about the difficulties of certain personalities. That is very much an individual thing. Someone who is very outgoing and friendly in real life will have an easier time roleplaying such a character then someone who is an introvert with social anxiety, and the opposite.

It's also very good that you speak slowly and clearly, a video can easily be ruined by someone speaking too fast in order to cram as much information into as little time as possible, or just because that's how they usually talk. Thumbs up for that!
It's a nice initiative, I hope you had fun making it, and feel like making more

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't really want to go too far into the lore because the video is super long as it is, and I have countless videos on my channel covering the lore behind it, so I just wanted to give some basic backstory and an insight into the culture. Also on the rogues, I said they are looked down upon, but that they can also be used to rp other honorable classes such as blademasters etc.
Also, I'm mostly mentioning in-game classes because that is what people are going to start from, however as I did say there are countless sub-classes you can pick. Also, I guess you are right on the difficulty part, but I had a graphic template so I had to pick something, but I guess that would be the case for someone who is a beginner to roleplay and who doesn't know too much about lore. Again thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated.
