That is certainly possible. I really appreciate that the orcs are not all portrayed as a monolith. There are actually several examples of orcs that behave differently from what one would expect from a typical orc. One example is the orcess in the picture above her form the orc_feminist_camp scene who is very shy and demure, if she was separated from her tribe and lived among humans she would likely be very similar to Koh. Another is the war weary orc matron in the Orcaid camp who is sick of all the fighting and conflict and seems to believe this culture will ultimately doom her people.I like the wealth of photo evidence that you provided. I would like to draw attention to the picture of Koh. She is one of the more interesting characters that Rowan can have a liaison with. She is noticeably less green than the other orcs and asks Rowan to treat her as a human woman when they are having sex. She also is an outcast from the orcs and was lynched by humans. I suspect that she is the first Half-Orc that we have met. This isn't explicitly stated but implicitly inferred. I really like the character and think she had a lot of chemistry with Rowan. It would be nice if she returned so we could learn more of what it is like to be a half-orc in this world.
Orc men likely experience more violent incentives to conform to orc culture so we see less drastic departures among them but there are some examples of more thoughtful less aggressive orcs among them as well. For example the orc wood sculpter who feels compelled to make art even if his culture doesn't allow him to see any worth in the activity, or even Ulcro the chieftain who becomes smitten with a human woman and wants to woe her and gain her love rather than just taking her like most orcs would have. Meanwhile the other orcs of the tribe seem to just think he is being greedy and taking the spoils for himself, they don't seem to fully grasp that he could actually feel something for her.
I hope to see more diversity in personalities among the other races that we interact with in the future as well.
