The special skills of the Breton are his only saving grace from last place: Dragonskin and magic resistance. He’s also one of three races that begins the game with three spells. His primary skill is conjuration, and that gives him the ability to create things earlier than some of the other races. If you’re into magic, the Breton is a good choice. His enhanced skills are Speech, Alchemy, Illusion, Restoration, and Alteration. Pros: The Breton has a few strong skills. Then the die is cast, and once again my blade will taste Nightingale blood! 9. I don’t know anyone who goes around Skyrim without swinging a weapon. If you’re more of a fighter, this entire character is a waste of time for you. Dance around the field and shoot some sparks. If you like to walk around and set people on fire, fine. Their primary skill is Destruction, and Ancestor’s Wrath is pretty cool.Ĭons: Now, don’t call me a racist. Pros: The Dark Elf starts with bonus points in Light Armor, Sneak, Alchemy, Allusion, and Alteration. The list below is my opinion, and numbered from worst to best. Each race has a primary skill that begins at base level 25. All characters have certain enhanced skills, which have a base level of 20. So, let’s take a walk through them.Įach character of Skyrim has a base skill level of 15. The game is what you make it, but I bet we can all agree some of the races are better than others. Be an Orc invited into the strongholds or be a Khajiit greeted warmly by the traveling caravans (and maybe following them down the moonpath to Elsweyr). With ten playable races, you can make the Skyrim as interesting as you want. I have given my Khajiits fantastic abs and been eaten alive by Alduin several different times. I have wandered the mountains of Tamriel, flown over it in the T.A.R.D.I.S., and jumped off a mountain. It’s no secret that I am an avid Skyrim player.
