As a Breton player I feel second hand pride. I also find it strange, as I don't know that much lore about the Elder Scrolls Series beyond what happened in the last three games, that I was naturally drawn to being a spell sword with my Breton characters.
Bretons are one of the most fun races to play, but they often get overlooked in lore circles due to not being as exotic as the others. Nonetheless, since getting back into Elder Scrolls half a year ago, I've been endlessly fasincated by their individualist obsession with chivalry, their respect for both physical and magical prowess, and their long history of tiny feuding kingdoms and ever-shifting alliances.
Ayleids: “These lesser creatures are so barbaric and magically inept! Who in their right mind would dilute with such lesser creatures?” Direnni: “Here me out though. Nede women…are hot.”
First time at this channel and now a new Sub, Bretons are my favorire Race in The Elder Scroll. It i's nice to know a bit more lore on the Bretons and it has made love the Breton' s even more, Thank You Wizards and Warriors.
Thank you for validating my choice for a Breton character in my Skyrim novel I am writing. I create a character called Falco: A Breton male and rougue. Loves the finer things in life and loves the sound of his own voice is just some of his qualities. But putting him in a crushed velvet Doublet, embroidered laced-gauntlets and fine leather boots was a choice that this validated. Thanks
I often Rp as a Breton Wizard in Skyrim. I hope they do this race justice in Elder Scrolls 6, giving them a bit of elven aesthetic like semi-pointed ears. They are basically the ES version of Half-Elves.
@@jfkst1 that’s the way to do it. Great job. For me, I was never really sure if I looked more like a Breton or a Bosmer. To this day, I am still unsure.
The more I learn about Bretons, the more I realize that most people by default choose a playthrough style that would most resemble what would be expected of a Breton in the Elder Scrolls lore. Regardless of which race ypu play, if you play a primarily warrior character, its likely your strongest weapons will have a magic enchantment on it, like a Breton Mage Knight would. Choosing a primarily Mage build play style? Even the most diehard Mages will have a physical weapon or even use bound weapons, like a Breton Mage Knight would. Going stealth? The best thieves and assassins often use Magic to make themselves quieter and less visible, like a Breton Mage Knight would if he were opting for stealth. Breton are the best race to choose. Like the main character of every Elder Scrolls game, Bretons in the lore were regularly adventuring and questing people who took on tasks from higher nobility to heighten their own renown. The Bretons of lore are literally the most representative race of what is expected of every main antagonist of every Elder Scrolls game, regardless of the preconceived racial expectations for the rolls.
The most high damage build in skyrim history is a spell sword. Destruction and sword makes for literal shock and awe. Harvesting bandits to fill soul gems has never been so boringly easy....
During my first time playing TES V Skyrim, I choose Khajiit as my first race due to cats, then year passed and I've started choosing Breton even more due to their interesting bonus and how they could get to magic-related class rather easily (which are currently my top favorite class to play) compared to other men race
If not for their (stupid) weakness to magic, I'd call the Altmer my favorite TES race. But as it stands, I choose the Bretons every time I play any TES game.
There's a quest in Skyrim that makes the Arcturian Heresy canon. If you sleep in Tiber Septim's bed in that one inn in the reach, some ghost will think you're tiber septim because you're a dragonborn, and call you Hjalti.
@@Altrantis personally I don't consider that quest definitive proof of the heresy (all it definitively proves is that a guy named Hjalti fought a battle there), but I've always found the Arcturian Heresy account way more believable than the imperial orthodoxy anyway, even if we can't really say definitively which version is correct.
I think it kind of makes sense that many of the emperors had ties to High Rock seeing as they WERE Bretons and the Imperials didn’t even exist in the early lore. Shocking how many TES fans don’t know or forget about that 😭😂
Have you heard about the High Elves? Seriously, though, looking forward on a similar video about the Altmer. They are my second favorite TES race, after the Bretons.
My wife and her friends pick Bretons cause the lore and magic builds, I play as a Breton because I'm tired of being killed by magic while I'm trying to stab a wizard in the face
Hey guys love your videos, I've watched every single one so far, hope it's okay to post it here but I'd really love if you guys could do a video on the Dawi-Zharr from Warhammer Fantasy, not many videos out there on it, especially not in the top notch quality you guys make! Hope you have a fantastic day when or if you read this!
I think Y'ffre is meant to be an aspect of Akatosh. The lore never says so explicitly, but if you read between the lines you see the connections. The Elder Scrolls reveal the past present and future of everything real and not real- history and fiction, both domains of storytellers. Then there's the quest chain where a wood elf Speaker of Y'ffre somehow changes the past by manipulating dreams, something a god of time would be able to do. Then there's the conversation with the dragon Parthurnax in Skyrim where he mentions the bones of the earth.
That's my Skyrim character- Breton cleric [only use resto, alteration and conjuration magic, mace, shield and heavy armor, no sneaking ever but I do also use a bow because otherwise Dragon battles would be stupid].
Excited to find out more about who I’ve been playing as for like seven playthroughs, not thrilled to hear the term “schizophrenic” tossed around casually like it was a joke…
Considering the next elder scrolls game is going to be in that area, I hope Bethesda haven’t entirely lost their edge after Starfield and can do it justice.
My real hope for Elder Scrolls 6 is that High Rock, the Breton homeland, has had societal degradation where the knightly values of the past are often spoken about, but rarely practiced by the leaders. With the weakened Empire unable to mediate between city states, the city states create machiavellian plots against one another. The player will often have to choose between acting like a heroic knight or pleasing the corrupt nobles to achieve their goal.
@@grandmanitou6563 I'm guessing the Illiac Bay like TES2. You get the Redguard and Breton culture clashes, while leaving room for Western Reach and Orsinium for DLC.
@@badluck5647 The thing is, it would be a bit weird to have the same region as a previous title when there are so many left to implement. They could go the extra mile and have us get both High Rock and Hamerfell fully implemented instead of just the Illac Bay, which would be great to add some diversity cause deserts can quickly become boring. Then next game they can do both Valenwood and Elsweyr.
0:40 That animation is not bad, except the windmill is spinning in the wrong direction. 😆 Beam always moves forwards, the sail after all pushes, it doesn't pull.
Bretons are clearly the best race, because they have the most actually medieval looking cities! Also my go-to for casters since I don't like the drawbacks of high elves.
Bretons are the ultimate race, a perfect blend of man and mer, in fact they would be the best race if not for the fact that Dunmer are literally the gods' chosen people and the most advanced race both in term of magic through Vivec and technology through Sotha Sil (yes Sotha Sil went far above and beyond even the dwemer)
It's probably because there is a lot of debate, even in lore fan communities, if ESO is canon or not. I lean towards it being canon (and Bethesda has all but confirmed that it is), but many people are still vehemently opposed.
Aldmeris is just Tamriel, like in Tolkien's War of Wreath, the TES Elnofeic wars shattered the landmass into fragments, Pyandonea and Alinor were likely sundered from this event leading to the idea that Aldmeris (the Meric-dominated landmass which was early Tamriel) "sunk" Hence why also Atmora had an elvish name Aldmora and why the Falmeri and Dwemeri don't seem to have a clear direct Aldmeri ancestry. But this also comes down to bad cohesion and inconsistent writing on Bethesda game studio's part.
Just found this channel can someone please educate me. Is this the same guy that does the narration for the “kings & generals” channel because if so I just found another channel to invest all my UA-cam time In lmao.

Pretty much my favourite race. Really like the lore and magic boost. Makes a great spell sword base
That wolf familiar saved my bacon multiple times during my early hours in Skyrim.
The Bretons are my race in Oblivion because of their mix of having both Magic AND regular attack capabilities
They are a fantastic all-rounder for someone new.

"politically schizophrenic" as a political scientist I will start using that concept, thank you Wizards and Warriors.
As a person with schizophrenia I would ask you not to as it makes no sense

I usually play Bosmer stealth archer. But when I want a heavier melee character I go Breton.

@@AltrantisHow is that remotely proof that the entire Arcturian Heresy is real? It just confirms Septim's original name, perhaps.
@TorvusVae I mean you meet zurin actus (thus the acturian heresy) in daggerfall, and he seems pretty believable then lol

I was wrong, Y'ffre is Lorkan. the bones of the earth are his literal bones. In Elder Scrolls even the dead gods are badass.
When the races are all covered, do you guys have any plans to cover specific factions like perhaps the Blades?
Damn dude, I wish you would narrate my life!!
Whenever i think of a Breton, i think of a cleric or paladin and i love it
That's my Skyrim character- Breton cleric [only use resto, alteration and conjuration magic, mace, shield and heavy armor, no sneaking ever but I do also use a bow because otherwise Dragon battles would be stupid].
Or even a witch Hunter a magic and swordsman combo.

Every Elder Scrolls Game I have played, I've played a Breton.
you guys mind sharing those maps of tamriel?
Does this mean we have a release date?
My favourite race. Not because I like their lore or anything, they're just the only non-mer race that has decent magical capabilities.
As someone who is not familiar with the Elder Scrolls, seeing Bretons made him think of Brittany.
Definitely not an accident.
They are pretty much TES French.
@@DarkVeghetta Bretons represent western europe in general, I think the french is more Brettonia in warhammer fantasy.
