The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

No s** is a deal breaker though.
Breton- for when you dont want to fully committ to being an elf.
TES has the ugliest elves.
For when you couldn't decide between Imperial or Altmer, so you picked the easy compromise

Also, not hard to get a pretty female Altmer or Bosmer. I just wish the vanilla Dunmer were less wrinkly.
Powers of men:
Nord: can resist cold
Imperial: can kind of get along
Redguards: can go apeshit once a day
Breton: genetically predisposed to channel magic effectively
I'll go Breton thank you very much
@Mark Lucchese Because Bretons are also humans and they too are *capable* of becoming strong and powerful physically. Add that onto a natural magic resistance and magical affinity and you've got a powerhouse
@Mark Lucchese it depends on the person in question. Not all Bretons are weaklings. And not all Nords are badass.
@Mark Lucchese No, that's facts. You don't just look at someone because of their races reputation and think he's like everybody else 🤷♂
@Mark Lucchese 😂😂 ok
So many fallacies, I like it
Step one: be born Breton
Step two: leave Highrock
Step three: ?
Step four: profit
Hahahahahah
I always liked the Bretons. Not only were they based off of Celtic-British/French concepts, but the half-Elven aspect gives them a bit more mystique. When I am not playing as an Elf, then I play as a Breton.
I do like the Bretons, I aren't a fan of Elves. So a magic proficient human, that also has the potential to be anyone, they in my opinion are the best Paladins and Holy Knights, using their gifts at magic and human robustness to be proficient in combat and restoration magic

Didn’t know we had a king.
And I am your King.
HELP HELP I'M BEING REPRESSED
Bloody peasant.
A human race with natural expertise in magick and magick resist. Not to mention natural proficiency in politics.
Since you're human you're not going to be treated as harshly by the other human races, possibly respected by the Magick welding races such as the Altmer and Dunmer. And if you're a knight or other swordsman you could gain respect from Redguards, Nords, and Imperials for your battle prowess.
They're Kings, Queens, Politicians, Mages, Spellswords, Knights, and more.
They're the perfect human race for really anything.
Edit: Spelling errors.
@pokezee king-wolf You can't say that *ALL* Mer who are magicly inclined would not respect powerful displays of magic from a Breton. The other human races should be jealous of Breton spellswords, as they must be physically built and adept at both spell and sword play.
I so agree. My first main on oblivion was a breton heavy armored spell sword who was able to cast invisibility.
Not really. They are the race that hast the most health issues. And somehow (I dunno how and why) they usually live shorter that other humans. I think they are similar to breed dogs. They seem perfect but are they really?
I can not even mention one strong breton mage, compared to the many dunmer and altmer wizards.
I always play a spellsword so double kill?
The stupid elves created their own natural enemy magic resistant humans.
Eh, but the Bretons are also by definition, also part Mer as they are Man. You could argue that the Mer also made potential enemies of the other Humans, given Bretons are better at Magic than other humans.
Plus, at the end of the day, most Mer are still so good at Magic that a good enough Altmer can take down a well practiced Breton.
All depends on the situation
@@thalmoragent9344 They look human and the elves would look down on them same as any other if it goes race war they are the perfect mage assassins and the elves rely more on magic than man. While technically they are half elf I've never seen them treated as such by anyone and only ever seen it mentioned in books my guess is there's less then a dozen Nord's in all of Skyrim that know that lore and probably not to high of numbers in the other races either at least not by this time period.
@@faust4813
Well no, it's well known that the Bretons are "Manmeri" as they used to be called, so plenty of people know they've got Elven blood. Some even have slightly pointed ears and are a bit more lanky (like Mer) than their Human counterparts, so it's pretty well known.
And while the Mer do rely on Magic a bit more than Man, they're also very good at it, and I'd put my wager on the best Altmeri Mage above the best Breton one.
Even then, plenty of Mer still have great potential in other places than just Magic, so worse case scenario, a High Elf will need to resort to more traditional combat, which, if trained well, can use their more elegant posture to their advantage, just as humans tend to be a bit more bulky (on average).
Either way, you make a good point, plenty of Bretons are very skilled mages, but much of that comes from their Mer heritage and history in their society over the years before the Direnni Elves eventually all left for the Adamantine Tower. They have good resistance and affinity for it, making them well balanced, but Mer still generally have better Magicka stores within them, and their higher affinity for Magic isn't to be underestimated either.
But yeah, their Elven heritage is of note, and it would be weird for them not to be mentioned in that light regardless.
@@thalmoragent9344 I always play bretons cause I love conjuration and I also just think bretons are cool, but in game bretons always get treated like shit still by elves, I kinda dislike elves they are always so mean and think they are better than everyone jus cause they live longer and begin with more magical knowledge than other races
@@GHOST5800000
Well, yeah it's part of their culture and religion and history they're aware of. Granted, they do have a rather prideful attitude, but I don't dislike them, I see an elegance and refinement in them, although I see why you think they're a bit much 😅
Even as a Mer fan, I know they can be pompous at times, but they do have better genetics in just about everything save for a few minor things.

@@OriginalSoulbourne As a resident I can say it's definitely not Welsh
@@SpydeTJ I believe it's native breton. The natives of brittany share a similar migration backstory to the welsh having been among the groups pushed out of england propper. Modern day wales, cornwall, and brittany is where most of these groups ended up finding refuge, with the people of brittany and wales forming distinct successor cultures and cornwall doing whatever cornwall does since can't remember if they were displaced during the assimilation to england or just hybridized heavily.

Bretons are basically Hylians. Not exactly humans, and not exactly elves, however are called human on occasion despite humans being a separate species in the Zelda series. They are exceptional magic users, have constant civil wars within their kingdom.
Neighbors are a dark skinned people who live in a sand filled rocky land and fight with Scimitars etc.
Then of course, High Rock and Hyrule. Aside from similar sounding names, both have very similar landscapes (although Hyrule has more variation in it's landscapes.)
The sense of adventure High Rock encourages just further makes them Hylians in my mind.
Oh, and since Breath of The Wild came out, both Bretons and Hylians have the similarity of being great cooks.
Neighbors are dark skinned people who live in sand?
They have curved swords... CURVED SWORDS!
Why do I agree with this so fucking much?
I read cooks cocks TwT
So link is a breton?
Ah yes, excellent cooking in BotW. Excuse me, time for dinner, off to eat my fried durian and meat wrapped in a leaf.

Do a "is joining the legion/ is joining the stormcloaks worth it"
Quick answer: if you're a dragonborn and become a general in a heartbeat, yes. If you're just you, then probably no.
Is joining the Blades worth it?
@@fumarc4501 Not if you have to kill Partysnacks
I played over 3000 hours of Skyrim never once has the racial bonuses mattered in my selection always roleplay reasons dictate that choice.
Same they honestly dont even benefit you much to begin with.
In early game they can be a game changer, but after a while they don't really come into effect.
I suggest you get the Races Redone mod. They make each one more unique than just "press z to stop combat."
The only race bonus that matters is the khajit claw bonus. Without it you can’t play unarmed.
@@lordvoldemort953 gloves of the pugilist
AmonAmarth You’d have to severely exploit the enchanting mechanics to compensate and I don’t enjoy doing such things.
I love using Bretons, especially as warriors. With some perks, a standing stone, and a quest bonus you can reach the resist magic cap without any enchantments. Combine that with heavy armor, a shield especially if it's spellbreaker and you're pretty much a god. Can't even remember the last time I came close to dying on any difficulty with that character.
Bretons are awesome. Longstanding chivalric tradition, magic affinity and resistance, and some of the best food in Tamriel.
Bretons have the potential to be the most tankiest characters.
They already have a natural magic resistance.
Build them up to be heavy armor and shield specialists and physical enemy’s can’t hurt them.
Get the lord or atronarchs stones their magic resistance increases.
Bretons truly invincible.
Breton Knights are an underrated fighting force.

I made a Breton dude for a battlemage build and guess what I named him?
Jagar Tharn II and he aims to be the most powerful battlemage in Tamriel
Aww shietttttt here we go again xD
I also named my Breton that on my third play through of Skyrim on my PS4. With the phenderix magic mod I got this OP paralyze rune spell that was bugged and with it I could freeze a shit ton of enemies in their places and finish them off with my axe. Honestly it was probably one of my most memorable Skyrim play throughs since I gave my jagar tharn || a backstory and he is the most powerful character I ever built while playing the game since the paralyze rune even worked on special enemies like dragons.
Battlemages ftw man it's my fave class, I really hope there is more magic options in the next elder scrolls
@@jonathanleon4966 I hope so too!
Jagar Tharn was an Imperial believe it or not. Confusing given the name, I know-I thought he was a Breton for ages; but I imagine he may have been Colovian rather than the Nibenese bearing those Romanesque names we see most-often associated with Imperials. (The Nibenese seem to have won the Cyrodiilic culture-war in the Forth Era.)
That said, we do see plenty evidence of races intermingling in The Elder Scrolls, so it's more than possible that Jagar Tharn had offspring with a Breton girl. That said, his direct offspring would be quite bloody well old for Mannish standards by the time of Skyrim's Alduin Crisis. And even though Bretons are Manmer, it would seem that they actually live shorter lifespans than other Mer.
Either way, I quite like the idea of an offspring of Jagar Tharn cropping back up, and Forth Era Skyrim seems like the perfect place for them, so more power too you!
Well I am glad that my main in TES isn't terrible.
My favourite race - so well-balanced.
If balance was the main factor, then I’m surprised that you didn’t go for imperials.
@@Kageravager imperial is my other favourite race
They are definitely not balanced in oblivion and morrowind, thanks to Bretons boost to magic and Resistance, it makes high elves almost entirely obsolete, especially in morrowind were they can use the apprentice birthsign with zero draw back. I’d say their balanced in Skyrim though, thanks to high elves not being weak to magic.

Elsewhere
I've always imagined myself as a Breton: a wandering teacher, travelling with my familiar dog and my domestic wolf, teaching people to read, maths, magic, archery and swordsmanship, who might also do some chores in exchange of a bed and some food, and also works as a mercenary for people in trouble, doing the ocasional bounty.
I always like playing a Breton, but I had no clue about their lore. It sounds awesome, and makes me glad to pick Breton! :D
One of my favorite RP's is to play as the Snobish/Niave son of a High Rock noble. I use Alternate start and the Haafstad mods to start on the border of High Rock and Haafingar then I Sneak across Skyrim to Darkwater Crossing where I am caught by the Imperials.
I like being a Breton. It is a good character because early in the game, the dragonskin resistance to magic helps when you are attacked by dragons and vampires who always use magic attacks. This can be exceptionally helpful during early gameplay. That does not mean it is the best, just one of the best depending on your play style. Thanks for this series, I am really enjoying it.
Best race of the more humanoid type. Powerful spellcasters, naturally resistant to magic, just a great overall race.
There culture is completely stolen from elves and where they create culture of there own they live like cave people, there whole existence is cuz they where sex slaves, the imperials genocidet cyrodilic elves to gain freedom, the nords genocidet skyrims elves as soon as they where a threat, the redguards genocidet hammerfell elves on sight, the bretons genocidet there local elves cuz they where raped often enough. They need there magica resistance cuz they are the weakest race in tamriel.

@@patheronaetherson2860 yep
Their magic resistance in oblivion is absolutely insane, it makes you question what Bethesda was thinking with the racials, 50% resistant to fire(dark elf) 50% to frost(Nord) 50% resistant to magic, plus boost to magic(Bretons), like wow.
I have played a Breton since Oblivion. My favorite Breton character is my toon on ESO, Perwyn Half-mer.
Having the strenghts of both man and elf, but also their weaknesses....sign me up
My second favorite race; their inborn Dragonskin ability is undeniably one of the best racial abilities in all Tamriel. Coupled with the Atronach Stone & enchanted gear to boost Magicka Regen and with the Mage Armor perks, they are virtually indestructible against other mages. Their natural boost to the Conjuration Skill means that they have the skill to raise undead almost right out of Helgen and can thus start the game with a temporary thrall if they so desired once they obtain the Raise Zombie tome in Riverwood from Lucan. Choosing The Ritual Stone also means more thralls to soak up damage once per day (I find this is useful early in game to allow time to level up sufficiently)
given that I am Welsh irl, and the Bretons are losly based on the Gauls, who are the ancient ancestors of the Welsh, Irish and French, I am already a Breton...
Technically, anyone who takes blood from Gaulic ancestors (I think that includes most of England and every Country it formed) would be a Breton
I haven’t studied the history of old Europe so I’m probably wrong
There was also a nation known as Bretonny, which combined cultural elements of the Welsh, Cornish, and French. Far more likely that they reference them.
Indeed
@@l_miester456 'most of england' is germanic or viking, the Angles and Saxons of the Anglo-Saxon period were of germanic origin, and then there was the areas ruled by the Danelaw, which were mostly settled vikings. England and English is litterally derived from the name of the Angle tribe! and then the Normans (literally North men!) were viking settlers who settled in northern france like they did in northern england and the dublin area of ireland.
So yeah you are wrong, the Gauls were spread over what is now france and britain but were first conquored by the romans, and then pushed to the western fringes by the germanic tribes that the romans failed to conquor.
@White-Van Helsing no the 'celtic' people are different from the germanic people, are different from the viking people, etc. The britons, mostly the same as the gauls, that Cladius defeated are now the welsh, irish and breton people, with the scots having a more mixed heritage with the vikings. the english are more germanic, being mostly anglo-saxons, and the Normans were decended from viking settlers in northern france. the french are broadly similar to the gauls. So there are 3 main ancestors in western europe, the gauls, the germanic people and the vikings.

Khajit master race
The last four or five characters I've played have been Breton. I've used your "Battlemage" guide for all of them and love the versatility of the class and the race. The last couple of times I've played a Breton "throwback". In "my" lore, 1 in about 10,000 Bretons (or any other appropriately small ratio) are born as "throwbacks", looking more like Mer than Man, but are still innately Breton, with ears more pointed, eyes a little more slanted, skin-tones less pale. Current character is Deklan of Morcot (a cot hold a few miles outside of Evermor), son of a college trained mage (father) and a Breton Legate (mother) in the Imperial Legion who met during the Great War. She taught Deklan sword and board, Dad taught him novice Mage spells. When a recent purge by the Thalmor occurred in the village, Dad sent Deklan to Skyrim to get college training, and that's how he ended up staring at a chopping block in Helgen.
Bosmer is one of my three favorite races in TES so I am excited to see a video about them to pop up :D
Breton and Altmer were the two I was looking forward to most. Good stuff guys!
Hydra I believe you’ve confused them with Bosmer, who are cannibals because their ritual Green Pact don’t let them harm vegetation in Valenwood. Altmer aren’t cannibals, they’re incredibly civilized and the most skilled magic users, and their civilization laid the foundation for the written language of the whole of Tamriel. They also live hundreds of years minimum. I think they’d probably be my overall choice. Although if we do have to pick the Skyrim timeframe, you’d be living in a sort of fascist state.
@Hydra bosmer....you meant bosmer.
Bretons and Altmer are my two favorite races. I have a hard time choosing with one I like more.
@@Tae_Grixis Agreed! If I'm going elf it's Altmer, if I'm going man it's Breton (which coincidentally is the most elfy of men, haha).
Physiologically I like the Altmer more, the long life, resistance to poison/disease, quick wits, and magical mastery are hard to beat. But culturally I like the Bretons more, the knights errant and chivalry and focus on good deeds and adventuring sound great (and even a bit of politicking on occasion too, hah). And they're of course no slouches in magic-craft either!
Overall I think I'd pick Altmer, but I wouldn't necessarily want to live in the Isles (if it's Skyrim time... the isles during say, the events of ESO or the lead up to Morrowind sound great!
*Ahh My Favourite Race Thank You For Covering This Scott!*
Omg I was waiting for you to cover this race 👍👍
Bro I’ve been subbed to y’all for a long long time. I remember watching the samurai build like it was yesterday!
My favorite race in Skyrim. You get free backup in the form of a familiar from the beginning. They make great battlemages or any other class if tuned right, plus the magic resists are for all magic, dragon breath included, not all of them breathe fire.
My favorite class to play is a summoning archer. I always pick a Breton for it.
Some of my fav builds from fudgemuppet is the ethereal hunter such a fun build
My latest build is King Arthur + Merlin and is a questing knight lady who is seeking the Breton Paladin outfit, the sword of the Crusader, the Mace of the Crusader and of course, a special shiney sword on the stone. While reforming the Knights of the Nine! Or eight...

But idt that works, Ayleids was so technologically (and magically) advanced to the point that the rest of the world still hasnt caught up. American natives was all stone age savages that hadn't even invented the wheel. I would say the forsworn are closer to American natives. Although that doesnt even work because there was so many different tribes, with their own languages and traditions. The forsworn are more akin to the western US tribes like the Blackfoot or Lakota peoples, as they was very aggressive. Outside tribes called them the Sioux, which isent a tribe name, but rather a pronoun roughly translating to "killer of the people" or just "enemy" to be simple. Now that i think about it, the only tribes left today are the ones who had a history of violence. The peaceful tribes just decided to be European, as brick house > cloth tents
Breton was my first pick in Oblivion when I first played for the first time in 2007. God, that was such a treat. Nowadays, I have a trinity of races i choose: Bretons, Dunmer, and Khajiit. One from men, one from Mer, and one from beasts. Although, I suppose they're all Merric in a way.
Can't wait for you to cover Woodelf! That's my fav
FudgeMuppet, the description for this video needs a to be looked at.
Great job on the vid by the way.
Please stream more elder scrolls table top. It'd be so worth watching with the right discord set up
having played multiple Breton characters in Skyrim and ESO I would say definitely worth it! :D
For 2 years i couldn't find your channel i had got a new phone forgot my info and searched i forgot your name but rememberd you made a fo3 video im glad i found your channel again:)
I really love this series. I going to use this to choose my second charature on eso. Cant wait for more!
Wonder if its worth expanding this series to more rare and mysterious races like the Maormer and Imga.
Ah sea elves! Sea mer? So maybe we could see lusty mer maids? Maormer maids?
Breton always worth it to me!
I combine the Lord Stone, Champion of Mara and Atronach Perk from Mastered Alteration.
If doing Vampire Lord run: The Well Rested Vampire Perk and Necro-mage makes you so antimagic antidrogon breath it's not evan funny and a bit OP.
That's not evan taking into account *Mirack's Armor!
I consider orcs better.Find a fortify restoration potion and go to the atronach forge.Magic absorbtion is almost 100%.Without atronach perk and necromage.And you get access to berserk rage
@@dovalist6637 I realy like how the Breton looks as a vampire but there is that one Orc in the dungeon when you retrieve the Moth Priest that looks pretty lit.👿
I think we can both agree the Khajitt Vampire just looks silly. lol👿+😺=😝😖🤣
Aspecialy those dorky fangs!? At least on console they do anyway. 😁
@@AdamaSanguine Never found them that silly but then again I don't really look at my characters' face and vampire khajit are quite rare to spawn if they even do
@@dovalist6637 I made a Khajiit Vampire Lord lol the fangs give them an overbite. Even made a Argonian Vampire Lord the only thing I noticed was the eyes. The scales texture didn't change much. Right now I just started d High Elf Lets Play Series called Icona.
My Breton Let's Play is a Sarcastic Assassin called Loranna. 3 eps into it.
Would be 20 but I deleted 10 eps then took 6 months off from Skyrim to focus on Fo4 Building.
It gets more views, but the RP is more fun in Skyrim.
I've done 3 eps of Fallout that combine RP and building that were a pain to set up but they turned out pretty awesome.
Have a great weekend! ☺
Just found this channel. It's awesome !
Always played Breton. Love learning about the lore ty
I hope in future iterations of elder scrolls they make the Bretons looks slightly more mer like. They really look just like normal humans. I loved the half elves in EQ.
What mods do you use for texture and environment quality????? The background in this vid looks amazing!!!!
Love fudgemuppet. Always recommend this channel to my friends who also love lore.
Really nice video, most of the characters I play in Skyrim are bretons and most of the times I end up being a mage of sorts. Now that I'm playing Oblivion, I made another breton picked the Atronach birth star and it's fun as hell
Have you got a pack full of scrolls, staves and magical stones?
Great Video as always, I would love to see Redguards next.
Next video idea:
“Skyrim: Is being a Nirnroot WORTH IT? -The Elder Scrolls Lore”
So many possibilities...lots of potential...
Can we get some High Elf next? For me, the decision would definitely be between High Elf, Imperial, and Breton since I more or less just want to keep my head in a book
I love these. I'd say either Redguards or Khajit next.
7:53 Oh my god... I just realized I unknowingly have played my breton in the most immersive and lore friendly way possible. X,D
depends
being a breton girl is certainly worth it.
being a short little breton man would suck.
I find the apparent challenge worth it. You feel more like a hero if everyone you beat looks stronger than you.
Unless said man would welcome death by snu snu.
@@Balinux well sure but you're not getting laid if you're not even six feet tall.
if you're a breton dude you're that short litle nerdy kid who is not nerdy enough to get on with elves and not man enough to get on with nords, at which points your options are very limited.
I have been playing as a breton for months now and I only noticed the height difference after reading this comment. Damn! I have been busy getting all the school of magic to level 100 that I could not notice my character being a shorty.
"but your not getting laid if you're not six feet tall"
Peter Dinklage: **Laughs in Short**
vid begins at 2:19 for those that have seen prev episodes
Cover the high elves next please! I'd like to see your perspective on their culture, lifespans etc.
Redguard thank you for the entertainment I love to watch this kind of videos about my favourite game 😁👍🏽
meh last two playthroughs were Bretons, and my next one is gonna be too
@Go Hyuck Yourself - difference between being straight, and being poorly mannered. You're clearly a case of both.
@Go Hyuck Yourself - "Well hello :D" on its own isn't an ill-mannered phrase, but admit it, you just said it because OP's tig 'ol bitties caught your attention. I'm sorry, but I just can't comprehend hitting on someone who's likely on the other side of the country (or world, for that matter). Now go forth, Hyuck, Lord and Harbinger of all Chads & Kyles of the realm. Go forth!!
@Go Hyuck Yourself - well, just saying. Thirsting over hot girls on UA-cam is just fucking toxic.
@Go Hyuck Yourself - yeah, they used the fabled "double stream". Quite a potent method.
Currently playing with mods as a Conjuration Breton, yes, it's worth it.
Dude, I swear I exclusively play Breton Mages. In like every Elder Scrolls game I've ever played.
I almost feel kind of bad for not giving the other races a chance.
But 50% magic resistance + 50% spell absorption is always worth it.
Yeah, currently running the Imperious mod, Ordinator and Apocalypse. Bretons are really good.
@@mitchellex9527 Pretty much every mod made by EnaiSiaion is certified gold.
I’m playing a Breton spellsword, using alteration and restoration in my left and a good sword at my right, donned in heavy armor with the lord stone.
I come from High Rock, so naturally, i always have the high ground. Especially over those Thalmor and their magic.
I really like this series! Subscribed :)
Yeah, I typically choose Breton most the time for my Skyrim characters.
is being a Breton worth it?
-cute.
-innate resistance to harmful magic.
-half elf, so 50% better than nords.
An Aldmeri Dominion Enforcer ha!
Bretons are said to have a lot of health issues. And somehow (I dunno how it works) they live shorter than other humans. So... yeah.
Ves source?
@@ves6189 wtf does that have to do with anything
@@ves6189 source?
I'm playing as a Breton Deathknight right now, the magic resistance feels oh so good.
I would love to hear about the Khajiit!
If I continued to be stuck being human though, Breton would be preferable as an Eldritch Paladin
