Half-orc its empty race?

[WILLEM DRIPFOE]

What profit of hald-orc? I ended game playing half-orc, and there almost no any special dialogs, and also no other half-orcs in game, only in act 3 but they dont have special dialogs with me. But when i played for drow i had many special dialogues (many from goblins, but some other npc tell me something about "wow, drow here, why you not in underground'). Is half-orcs a cut content? I wanna some orc dialogues

More Like half-orcs in general just aren't played even in the tabletop game really. Like, half-orcs are kind of the middle child of the family... everyone forgets they even exist.

only reason i played half orc was because of the 3x crit damage lol

It's a racial passive, it provides another dice to crit damage.

yeah like dragonborn its not fun to notice its like playing a genasi in neverwinter nights 2 noone reacts to you. but atleast spirit helper can be half orc weirdly enough it cant be a dragonborn

[OnlyOffensive]

honestly half orc very good, like death ward for free, better crticals, dark vision?

But yeah there is very little amount of npc half orcs, mostly some absolute grunts in act2, noone of notice

It's actually not even 3x crit. it's just an added 1d6 die onto your attack. It does work with Smite though. Big. Fat. Crit. Smites.

Jaheira have an adopted half orc druid you can meet in her home in Baldurs Gate.

[Jäveln]

hoped to get some reactions from goblins about you being an orc sadly was mistaken. sad all effort seems to have been put into drow reactions

[Moonbane]

Talking of reactions, Ive heard that the grymforge Duergar are hostile to deep gnome players. For good reason, theyve enslaved or executed them all.

But yes, drow are known as favored absolute cult minions and gets a free pass, you dont even need to dominate others to play on it and can save the illithid wisdom for important encounters.

[Jäveln]

just wish atleast one guy would react to a human sized lizard standing infront of them

A bit older thread now, but I am playing a Half-Orc and you actually get a fair number of special lines. The [Half-Orc] dialogues are more common as a substitute for Intimidation checks in particular.

But yeah, in terms of meeting other Half-Orcs... it's pretty much not a thing at all through much of the first half of the game.

This depends on the weapon used. If you're using a GS then the game will only add another 1d6(prolly because GS use 2d6 on damage) but if you use a Greataxe then its another 1d12 which is kinda sad since where ain't no Legendary GA's, yet atleast. The best one is the Hellfire GA. 1d12+2 slashing +1d6fire. Quite nice when paired with Helldusk armor for the passive Heat generated by the weapon.

I only played a half-orc for like 3 hours and in that time I saw some options like "[Half-Orc] Not everyone looks like you, human.", or an intimidate check getting advantage because I was a Half-Orc. Seems fine to me.

"No one reacts to my race." Tell us you're a R...without telling us you're a R....
Just saying. Most people don't react to the race of other people. And in a world with orcs, elves, and goblins, people reacting to your race is kind of a stupid idea. Unless the character is, you guessed it, a racist.
Not everyone has an obsession with race and the exoticism of it. So no, it's not normal to do it.
