As an ogre start out agnostic and get to the commons as soon as you possibly can.

Bind outside of Neriak
Then basically level at nothing but the orc camps. As an agnostic it shouldn't take you too many levels in order to be dubious in Freeport. Keep an eye out for Deathfist slashed belts but be careful of the ratio at which you turn them in to (evil version and good version). At some point you could technically be doing both if you kill enough orcs.

Alternative methods include scalps and goblin ears in Highpass and Highhold Keep. Both of those quests net + faction hits with no negative hits.


By getting in good at Freeport and being agnostic you can basically play an ogre like any neutral race as long as you don't try to venture to the other Continents... and let's face it there is really no reason to have to venture to other continents if you don't want to.

This doesn't answer all your questions I know, but at the very least you can not have to worry about being an evil race.
