Starting bonuses to magical skills, 25% magic resist at all times and the Dragonskin ability allowing you to absorb magicka from hostile spells, lore and history of Breton mages.

For the record, people don't always choose Breton for battlemages; Altmer, Dunmer, Imperials are popular choices.

Imperials have the long lore and history of being Battlemages. We invented that shiz, all these Breton players stole it from us. Thieves the lot of them.

We even got own our book, 'The Art of War Magic'.

Does that mean the Nords invented drunken violence?

"Inventing" is a strong word for it. "Heartily endorsed" would likely be more accurate.

Never play a Breton. Want my characters good looking and they're all short and dumpy. Not my bag baby... By level 20 all their racial advantages are moot anyway with enchantments so there's no need.

Currently playing Nord Battlemage. It took longer but the look is much better. Also like Altmer and Imperial for battlemage.

So which one is it< the short dumpy guy with the goatee or the butch chick (I think that's Mjol). Either way, I'm glad he's wearing a hood. That way you can't really see him.

25% passive Magic Resistance is never moot. Just saying. In my opinion, Altmer bonuses fall into this category much more.

-Bonus Magicka... only useful at low levels.

-Highborn... Useful, but not as useful as Dragonskin imo. Absorption>Regeneration at high levels.

You play at low difficulties, you've stated this many, many times. At low difficulty, almost everything is moot really. You could play as a bunny and save the world.

Bretons are WAYYYY too short for me.

Yeah, I'm not sure why Bretons are so short.

My first male Breton didn't last long due to him being "vertically challenged." I'm 6'2" so being small was very new to me

Yep I have no idea. Poor little guys. Damn you're 6'2"? Good for you! If I was a guy I'd want to be really tall. On my German side everyone is huge, on my Italian side everyone is so tiny. So I ended up right in the middle at 5'5" thank god.

I didn't know Bretons were such a polarizing race lol. I'm 5'11", however I like the shorter races Bosmer 4 life
