New highest for orcs is level 18. Playing a story mission, I had to face an old nemesis from the first game. Not the one I wanted (good old Takra Caragor Tamer, I really truly miss him and our long lasting rivalry during which we probably killed each other at least ten times each) but instead a giant, level 18 LEGENDARY son of a bitch. A tank class legendary captain, with defender shield class bonus AND vault blocker (so I can't even leap him and hit him in the back) AND cursed weapons, so anytime he hit me, there goes at least half my health AND quickly kills and is enraged by beasts, so I couldn't even let loose some caragors to aid me.
Oh yeah, and anywhere from 7 to 10 grunts kept running in to help him fight me, no matter how many times I killed them all with Cleansing Blaze Elven Light (Elven Light that sets all nearby enemies in fire). I couldn't even use arrows because he was invulnerable to them. He had no major weakness, just simply damaged by executions and explosions.
The only saving grace against him, he was clumsy and so thus could be grabbed without being broken. Even then, I died 3 times without even getting his health more than a quarter of the way down. I damn nearly quit the game in a rage, but I was able to calm myself down, looked up a couple tips for fighting tank class captains, and eventually was able to beat him on my fourth try by simply grabbing him, throwing him down and then jumping on him and ground executing/stabbing him. Took probably a good two dozen times of doing that, and at least 10 or 15 minutes while draining every orc in sight to keep my health up, but I finally managed to kill him.
