Orcs running away in fear?

Why do Orc mobs run away in fear? This has always bothered me and I know this might be ridiculous to complain about, but according to all the lore I’ve read it goes against everything they represent as a race.

It’s not so much Orc as it is Humanoid. I think mobs in that enemy type classification tend to do this once their HP reaches a lower threshold. A tactical retreat gives you the option to fight another day!

Of course, they just come right back to you… now that we’re talking about this, I think that bugs me more than the actual running away :smiley:

Because they’re not UD, so their fear of death takes hold of them the cowards.

We can’t all be Broxigar.
