Know why Orcs don't get passive abilities?

Orcs are not passive people. Ever met an Orc without a job? Exactly. They're the Irish of TES. They're even green.
Monsters are bred in labyrinths, labyrinths are bred from walls. There is a reason the Giants choose to remain nomadic rather than follow their shield kin the Nords in building permanent settlements. The Tower is the beginning of all walls.

I think that might be because Berserker Rage is incredibly powerful, enough to make up for the lack of a passive ability. For 60 secnds, you do double melee damage and take half(after armor and blocking is calculated) physical damage, without any drawbacks. That is pretty damn powerful.

I don't know, they have their own pros/cons as well more or less. I haven't played much Orc personally.

of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair."

Does this count as a necrotic thread?

I understand there's some realism being this feature (strides), but that is just stupid. How big is it anyway?
