Yes, I've played Dragon Age, I'm aware of the darkspawn. They're basically Tolkein's Orcs. Maybe stupider, but once you get to Orc-level intelligence...you might as well not even consider intelligence a factor. -The Darkspawn are very different from how you described Tolkien's orcs you know. They are stronger than the average soldier, not weak. Their blood is poison. And they are definitely not abysmal fighters. And while most are mindless savages, there are some that are surprisingly inteligent. Like the Architect, and the Darkspawn he...eh, kinda-sorta heals. And Archdemons are seriously far from being stupid and mindless. They're far from being just "basically" like Tolkien's orcs.

-It's been 2 Volumes, 2 years in RL. And they still have failed to show that the Grimm are worth a damn as fighters. Even if they fixed things and showed actually dangerous Grimm, it's a failure anyway, given the time they spent making the show until that moment. If you haven't worried about RWBY's writing, worry now. At least Monty had some things planned ahead, now the only writers left are the guys that even forgot a goddamn crater.
