Orc for a few reasons. From a gameplay perspective, they fulfill my favorite play style in rpgs', a tanky berserker style warriors preferably with a giant hammer.
Another reason being their aesthetic. I assume argonian lovers love argonians because they are giant lizards. I love Orcs because they're savage monsters. They just look cool.
And the last reason I suppose, that has only just occurred to me recently, is the fact they are the 'spurned and ostracized' of the elder scrolls races. I was a loner throughout most of my childhood and never had a whole lot of friends. Nerdy, socially awkward, didn't fit in with the main crowd, etc. So I guess they probably resonated with me on some subconscious level when I first played an elder scrolls game. (Oblivion when I was 11.).
