As they are now, it just seems like WotC just gave us what they wanted to do with orcs because for whatever reason they felt like they couldn't just include orcs off the bat. And frankly a "typical" half orc in general feels more out of line than most things. What if your half-orc takes more after their human half than their orc half? Why shouldn't that be possible?
Im sory ... what have visage of Half Orcs to do with ability scores?
Didnt you missed a topic?

What Gray Ghost meant (I think) is half-orcs stats can be potentially decided by his human ancestor. However, there is a thing thats called dominant genes which carry over the dominant traits to the offspring. At least in our world.
