In ESO you can make any kind of character you want. So no, you are not restricted to being like a tank if you choose orcs.

The Daggerfall territory is mainly mountains and harsh desert. Far better than a barren wasteland but don't expect to find deep forests and lush grasslands as you would find in the Aldmeri Dominion Territory.
