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.

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?
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.

@@Altrantis When I first saw that I thought it looked like a cousin of welsh. Putting it through google it tries to translate it from welsh too. Do any britons even still speak that or is it more a dead language? Also do they pine for the days when bretons and welsh ruled all of england? :P
@@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.
Humans have the amazing ability of amusing and entertaining the Altmer. The imperial palace and throne of the entire empire was quite comfy I hear btw.
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.
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.
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.
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."
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.
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!
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.
I know some people take issue with the fact that Bretons and High Rock are just your typical medieval fantasy archetype, but I love that. Of course, having interesting races like Khajiit and Bosmer is amazing. But there is something timeless about classic fantasy. Quests, magic, treasure, knights, Kingdoms, monsters, etc. That is why they are in my top 3 favorite races. I also love the French influence in their naming conventions and culture.
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)
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.
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.
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.
Another masterpiece! Bretons are my all time favorite race and I could watch videos like this all day long! Thanks for being you and doing what you do!
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.
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:)
Breton has been my race or choice since Morrowind. My favorite play style is a spellsword (or battlemage) and Breton is perfect for that role. I am currently playing through Skyrim with my Breton Spellsword
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@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!
I always go breton in Skyrim and I also sorta figured that my favorite races homeland would be along the lines of the Midevil Age of Europe. EDIT: Plus I always mix a mage and tank playthrough.
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.
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.
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.
I already loved the Bretons for their French-inspired culture, but their focus on adventuring to earn renown really makes playing them in Elder Scrolls feel right. If I'm a Breton, they'd join any guild or every guild. Every guild is just another legendary accomplishment to take home to High Rock. Imagine that heroic resume. Slayer of Dragons, Hero of the Civil War, Thane of every region of Skyrim, Archmage of Winterhold, Gray Fox of Riften, Assassin of Tidus Mede IIII, Listener of Dawnstar. It's easy to think about the Dragonborn becoming an extremely high and lordly noble back in their homeland. Plus, it gives them a good reason to be caught crossing the border. They were coming here to earn their legacy after hearing about the civil war back in High Rock.
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

@@fumarc4501 i dont know much about the Ayleids outside of face puns. 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
I've been waiting for this one thanks fudgemuppet Breton and Argonian are my favorite races and werewolf is my preferred alt form your dedication to Elder Scrolls is an inspiration may the Nine watch over you
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.
Bretons are very near if not my favorite race in terms of practical gameplay. Their abilities are just SO good. Though I admittedly only dislike wood elf cause the befriend animal is just a weaker form of stronger shouts (maybe spells too, unsure) and I’m just not fond of slow and bow heavy builds. Much prefer magic, especially conjuration, and swords (if only they had spears, do in mods though) That’s gameplay though. And you do a lot of lore for these which is actually fantastic, saw I think your vampire and/or werewolf ones and loved that. It really makes the game actually even better when playing with it in mind. Really love that. I think your race just isn’t as explored as it could be and watching these videos kind of help fill the gaps. Also…bit late. This was years ago lol. Oh well, posted before looking.
They're actually my favorite race. The magic resistance never stops being great since 25% is impossible to out-level. It's always 25% no matter what. And because of how much Skyrim isn't an RPG, they can still be a sneaky archer or a melee tank if you want them to be, they just have some great resistances. And they also are the most attractive. Judging by the comments this probably isn't a serious video about their stats, but I just wanted to leave some support for an underrated race.
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
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.
Just started a new vanilla play as a Breton. A grumpy old man who looks as much like me as the character creator allows, more interested in trinkets and history than combat and conquest. Having a frakkin blast !
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
@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.

@@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 awesome. Longstanding chivalric tradition, magic affinity and resistance, and some of the best food in Tamriel.
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.

@@pqbdwmnu vampirism *cough,cough*
Actually the long answer is yeeeeeeessssssss
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.
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 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.

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!
Do a "is joining the legion/ is joining the stormcloaks worth it"

@@fumarc4501 Not if you have to kill Partysnacks
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.
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
I know some people take issue with the fact that Bretons and High Rock are just your typical medieval fantasy archetype, but I love that. Of course, having interesting races like Khajiit and Bosmer is amazing. But there is something timeless about classic fantasy. Quests, magic, treasure, knights, Kingdoms, monsters, etc. That is why they are in my top 3 favorite races. I also love the French influence in their naming conventions and culture.
Snoo Snoo! Ha ha ha love the Futurama reference!
Lol how did the men die? From crushed pelvic bones. Go on Zap take one for the team.
Yes a little tighter
Death by snu snu! lol
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)

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.
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.
Another masterpiece! Bretons are my all time favorite race and I could watch videos like this all day long! Thanks for being you and doing what you do!
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.

Having the strenghts of both man and elf, but also their weaknesses....sign me up
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.
I always play bret. The magic resistance is just too good.
Breton and Orsimer have the best racial traits
@@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.
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!
I always go breton in Skyrim and I also sorta figured that my favorite races homeland would be along the lines of the Midevil Age of Europe.
EDIT: Plus I always mix a mage and tank playthrough.
I’ve been a Breton since Morrowind. I knew right away - this is my race.
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.
Bretons are my favorite, especially for their resistance to magic and unassuming appearance.
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.
They’re like Saxon elves, beautiful
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.
I already loved the Bretons for their French-inspired culture, but their focus on adventuring to earn renown really makes playing them in Elder Scrolls feel right. If I'm a Breton, they'd join any guild or every guild. Every guild is just another legendary accomplishment to take home to High Rock. Imagine that heroic resume. Slayer of Dragons, Hero of the Civil War, Thane of every region of Skyrim, Archmage of Winterhold, Gray Fox of Riften, Assassin of Tidus Mede IIII, Listener of Dawnstar. It's easy to think about the Dragonborn becoming an extremely high and lordly noble back in their homeland. Plus, it gives them a good reason to be caught crossing the border. They were coming here to earn their legacy after hearing about the civil war back in High Rock.

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

I come from High Rock, so naturally, i always have the high ground. Especially over those Thalmor and their magic.
*Ahh My Favourite Race Thank You For Covering This Scott!*
Bretons are very near if not my favorite race in terms of practical gameplay. Their abilities are just SO good.
Though I admittedly only dislike wood elf cause the befriend animal is just a weaker form of stronger shouts (maybe spells too, unsure) and I’m just not fond of slow and bow heavy builds. Much prefer magic, especially conjuration, and swords (if only they had spears, do in mods though)
That’s gameplay though. And you do a lot of lore for these which is actually fantastic, saw I think your vampire and/or werewolf ones and loved that. It really makes the game actually even better when playing with it in mind. Really love that. I think your race just isn’t as explored as it could be and watching these videos kind of help fill the gaps.
Also…bit late. This was years ago lol. Oh well, posted before looking.
having played multiple Breton characters in Skyrim and ESO I would say definitely worth it! :D

Been rewatching all these 'worth it' videos, this great!
They're actually my favorite race. The magic resistance never stops being great since 25% is impossible to out-level. It's always 25% no matter what. And because of how much Skyrim isn't an RPG, they can still be a sneaky archer or a melee tank if you want them to be, they just have some great resistances. And they also are the most attractive. Judging by the comments this probably isn't a serious video about their stats, but I just wanted to leave some support for an underrated race.
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

Explains why I always pick Breton in ES. I like being versatile and undefined for the most part. Always wondered why I enjoyed playing as them.
They are weird because Bretons are technically not seen as impressive fighters in lore, yet within their history they have a billion examples of regularly wiping the floor with Orcs, Nords and Redguards...while still trying to kill each other.
