The Elder Scrolls has undergone many changes over the years and will probably go through more during The Elder Scrolls 6. For example, Orcs weren't playable until Morrowind, with Arena treating them as no better than monsters. The second game, Daggerfall, started to turn things around by depicting the Orcs as a complex society. The events of Daggerfall also led to the Empire granting Orcs citizenship, and by Morrowind, they were fully integrated into Imperial society.
