I'm playing an Orc.

Except for Warhammer 40k. Dunno why.

But Orcs are awesome.
Thats cos most orcs are like Mr T with a bit of something sinister, like Alan Rickman, thrown in for flavour.

40K orks are like Dick Van Dyke from Mary Poppins with a bit of Mr T thrown in for flavour.

You nailed it.

In 40k, they're the comedic relief. The type you don't take seriously.

Which is entertaining in its own right, but I prefer my orcs to be child-eating psychopaths....not to say 40k Orcs aren't that.

Only 40k could have child-eating psychopaths as the comedic relief...

Orcs (half) in Baldur’s gate can start with 19 str, so you don’t have to reroll a million times trying for that 18/00 with another race

They make amazing fighter/thieves. Put all your points in hide in shadows and move silently and backstab with a 2handed sword and watch enemies blow up due to overkill dmg

Orc rogues are a cool concept.

But nothing beats a classic orc berserker of some sort.

I played an Orc Fury Warrior (like everyone else) on WoW.

It just felt right.

Yeah, I remember Windfury being broken.

And that's Vanilla WoW when Fury Warriors were....sad. Poor bastards had to wear leather.

Enhancement shamans got nerfed to shit in TBC and onwards iirc. You couldn't use a 2h axe/mace anymore right? Then they allowed you to dual wield daggers which was even weirder as you're not a rogue. From a RP perspective a tauren shaman at one with nature, the elements, etc shouldn't be dual wielding daggers and stabbing the shit out of his enemies. Blizzard made some weird decisions.

Did Nef phase 1 matter at all or was it just masturbation?

Reminds me of Battlefield 1942 (#1), the Battle of Britain map. Essentially one side was setup stronger than the other, if you randomed onto the weaker side you had a big fight on your hands.

I often pick on game design that focuses on "balance-queefing" because sometimes fun isn't balanced at all. Eventually official map designs were more even but they are nothing much to remark or remember.

*Note: This was an official map. There is a large channel of water between the two camps, you have to fly those planes or ride with others to get over there. If you understand game design you will know why they don't do this with mainstream games today. Its too hard. People are anti-griefing (to an extent.. anti-fun), and more ease-inclined. Just sell them some awesome skins and who cares about your player skills, map designs or any of that as long as it doesn't get in the way of you seeing that sweet skin you bought.
