BloodBathGaming Guy Some people explain it that it's because most Nords don't like the Imperials so their lack of speech bonus reflects this, whereas Nords do get a bonus for it in Skyrim.

Well, you do get a loot bonus as imperial compared to etc breton or redguard.

"The shittiest of the shit races, Imperials are probably the biggest failures in existence and the biggest disappointments to Todd Howard. Their stats consist of good speech and mercantile. Their daily power is using the emperor's voice to calm their enemies. These fuckers are so weak, their daily power makes their enemies realize that they are not worth trying to kill.

look up imperial knowledge he didnt the great war which is accurate

[@lolcat1382]

I find Imperials and Bretons to be the best. Imperials are just all-around good at everything: magic is okay, and then being slightly better at fighting than most of the other magic and stealth inclined races. They're also good at speech starting off, and okay at sneaky stuff. The main bonuses are more money and calming enemies, which are both equally good skills for any build (unless you're like a beggar or something). It proves they aren't too bad. Then there are Bretons, who are essentially slightly-more-magically inclined Imperials. They have their main 25 skill as conjuration and start off with conjure familiar, if I'm not mistaken. The main power is absorption of spells for 60 seconds, which is completely useful for any build. Nords, Orcs, and Redguards are more fighting based characters, High elves, and dark elves are more magical characters, and Khajiit, Argonians, and Wood elves are more sneaky characters.
