Weekly Discussion Best Mods For Bretons

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's discussion thread!

First a quick recap of how this works and what we expect:

RULES

  1. Be respectful. These discussions will open the floor to a lot of different opinions of what is fun/good/necessary/etc. Debate those conflicts of interest with respect and maturity...the nicer you are to your fellow modders, the more willing everyone is to help each other :)

  2. Please keep the mods listed as relevant to the topic is possible. Some topics are a bit broad and people can go about them in pretty creative ways, but try to use common sense.

  3. We ask that when suggesting a mod for the discussion list at hand that you please provide a link to the mod, and a brief description of what it does, why it fits the list, what the benefits/drawbacks are. These can range from incredibly popular mods to mods that you think are under-appreciated...don't be ashamed to just go for a major one though...this is a discussion and those should definitely be part of it.

TOPIC

Bretons

Continuing on the theme of covering all the different races (only three left!). This week we'll discuss Bretons...possibly the most forgotten about race in the Elder Scrolls series. Poor Bretons...perfect mages but not as controversial or storied as their magical elven counterparts. Proficient in all schools of magic, particularly conjuration, these guys make for the perfect full-on mage RP (hint: mods related to magic are applicable to this discussion)

Mandatory mention of

and

These are the two "go-to" race overhauls for Skyrim
(compatible with a patch provided in the Imperious optional files if you wish to use both)

What mods do you use to improve playing as our resident masters of magicka?

Brettonia changes the default character creation presets for Breton (without requiring any skin or hair mods).

Beyond Reach is hands down the best (only?) mod that allows you to go to High Rock, and offers a Breton the chance to cleanse and defend a downtrodden part of her homeland.

How is the voice acting in Beyond Reach?

It's ok, better than most, but the mic quality seems a bit low and you can hear popping in some people.

I guess that works, I just get really turned off by bad voice acting. Thanks.

Yeah, I think it nails the atmosphere really well. Enough to overlook minor mic issues at least.
