The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

I like how the Greenpact is reverse veganism
Me too. Just you know, Elder Scrolls writers being awesome and subverting tropes.
@TRNTR CTZN if they leave the insects alone it wont be an issue
@TRNTR CTZN uh no? If you leave the plants to their own devices they will continue to grow. Birds and Insects can pass the seeds and fertilizer and thats that.
@TRNTR CTZN um...what? A few ounces of meat throughout the day can sustain a person but you need A LOT of veggies to do the same.
Right screw veganism we are Bosmer we are gonna hunt and eat all the red meat we like including you vegan bitches lol Hannibal Lector would be proud!!!
My first character i made in skyrim was a bosmer and it has been my favorite among my others characters.
1. Youre like a midget among every one else
2. Youre the best archer in the game (in paper)
3. You can tame a wild animal (mud crabs are always nice familiars)
4. Youre an elf
5. Also youre cannibal
Lmao like Asians? XD sorry I can't help it
As a Breton stan, Midget Bosmer 🤝 Midget Breton ❤
Wood elves define chaotic neutral
Woodelves are pretty chill but if you attack them theyll eat you thats pretty badass
6. They are the horniest race on Tamriel.
Drew: "The bosmer are not permitted to change their shape in any way."
Me: * sees two werewolves just chillin in town. *
ESO problems
A Bosmer Changing forms and Bosmer becoming werewolves are two different things.
That’s actually a plot point in the aldmeri dominion storyline, lmao. Hircine has a special relationship with the bosmer above all other races, so lycanthropy doesn’t really count as them losing their shape.
@@clmaoo As I understand it they’re still fucked because A) if for whatever reason Hircine abandons then they’re gonna have to deal with the consequences that Hircine will no longer prevent them from experiencing, or B) you’re now the prey of whatever hunters Hircine decides to bring to their realm for contests.
@@JH-dh2ws well the wild hunt is hircines doing, as a wood elf it just feels right to be a werewolf. A few mods that improve werewolves help alot (one makes it so wolves don't attack you even out of beast form)
It always bothered me how Spriggan’s always attacked the Bosmer.
I am beginning to think I may be a nerd
It happens
Haahahaha hahahaahahaha hahahaahahaha
Welcome to the family
I have come to accept it. I fought it for years 😂
One point tho: eating fruit harms the plants in no way. In fact, the plant grows their fruits with the intentions that it will be eaten and the seeds dropped elsewhere. So the part of the greenpact saying no fruit is kind of counterproductive, since the bosmer could help grow the landscape by eating the fruits
Yes well it may be because of 1 thing let's say that a bosmer eats a fruit and walks 5 feet the minimum for the plant that the fruit came from to grow healthy the bosmer then by the magic of the green pact must crap out the seeds within the distance for a safe and healthy chance to grow or they violate the green pack so many would rather hunt and eat meat instead of wasting time and going through all that trouble so they leave the fruit alone
Plants dont just grow in outhouses so and you cant just have a spot in each city for all the seeds to go the bosmer being in care of the seeds must plant them where they can be safe and grow what If they compete with each other the space needed after 5 or so generations would be massive so they just eat meat
@@firstnamelastname7124 that is a fair point. I guess in a dense city environment its necessary to be carnivorous. I would add that they could eat the fruits while out on long hunting trips. Since they would have to "go" at least once. But i do agree the cautions one would have to take to uphold that pact would be difficult at best. The basic point ill leave is that eating fruit in theory doesnt break the pact ONLY if you disperse the seeds later. A rather gross task ill admit
@@christopherconaway3549 yes that's my point that large or rather even small towns or tribes could only eat fruit for a few generations and yes they could do what you said it's just that most of them would need to eat meat and only meat so that's what they do
Most bosmer wont be dropping deuces where a plant will grow. And generally humans can digest seeds, I'd assume elves would too. Not eating the fruit means an appropriate animal will eat it and it will be distributed properly.
There is actually a quest in ESO where you as the vestige have to investigate a tribe of Bosmer who stick strictly to the Green Pact. It turns out that the wife of a Spinner of the tribe took an alchemical plant that healed her of a fatal ailment she had and this upset Hircine and the forest so much that the forest turned on the tribe and almost wiped them out until they agreed to deliver the person who broke the pact to be judged and executed by the forest spirits. It was a sad quest because she literally only took it to survive but it went agains the pact. Also this quest give insight that in smaller communities Bosmer hold Non Bosmer to the Green Pact if they wish to live amongst them but in larger communities like Elden Root its not expected because they almost accused a Khajiit of breaking the Green Pact and causing the issue when he was just the merchant who sold the item
Yeah I started the quest and when they wanted to kill her, I noped out of the quest
I did that quest let night. I decided to frame the khajiit. The wife was just too cute to let get executed. 😅
*Y’ffre, Hircine isn’t involved in the Green Pact.
Oh my~ Look who's using ESO footage
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO🔥😤🔥😤🔥😤🔥😤🔥😤🔥😤🔥😤🔥😤🔥
This is why I still sub to ESO, I just do the Aldmeri Dominion, Summerset and Elsweyr. They do the grand tour of the Bosmer through most of Valenwood and I loved it. Worth the money just for that alone, Well, Clockwork City was good too.
It's good from just using skyrim footage
@@yiasemi the game have great story too. I think for lore fans u can just treat it as a theme park where u can have a tour in the elderscroll universe.
Yes, finally, it is dumb using skyrim footage of valenwood, make no sense at all 🤷🏾♂️
The Bosmer are my favorite race, the greenpact is such a great concept!
red pact is what vegans of today want haha.
Brad turner too right bro, fuck them guys right? Hahhahahahhhahhhahahhaha
@@bradturner7678 ah from that one quest in greenshade
As a fan
of the Silvan Elves, Night Elves, wood elves in general and being honest I don't think the Greenpact isn't that great of a concept neither is perfect, but I get what is the point they wanted to make. If they took away this "if you were to harm even a flower" and the cannibalism bullshit it would be a little more close to perfection. No culture/race from any wood elven fantasy I've seen until today reached perfection as I more or less imagine how would it be, but there's actually a better one than the Greenpact in my opinion and it not derives from wood elves, but by the Na'vi from the Avatar universe. The Night Elves also has some pretty good concepts too, druidism, the Emerald Dream, Ardenweald, Elune and the connection with the Moon and the night, and World Trees are things that really added much to the wood elven concept for me even though I don't think they shouldn't be named Night Elves but really wood elves, but I think the union of both Night Elves and High elven cultures would make a great wood elven culture in the WoW universe because they would mix the day/night and the sun/moon into this florest living culture. Also I have to point that I prefer the term Bosmer than wood elf/elves in any fantasy out there, it should be a term used for all wood elves universes.
I think they're a cool race
LotR Elf: *casually unfold leaves of lembas bread*
Bosmer: what are you doing?
LotR Elf: eating a lembas, why?
Bosmer: that is wrong
LotR Elf: no it isnt
Bosmer: *stab the elf in his back and proceed to feast on his body*
I know this is a bad joke lol
I love the Elder Scrolls elves, but the majority of them wouldn't hold a candle to the elves of Middle-Earth.
Just an Average Dragon Yeah, the Tolkien elves are almost part angel...
@@Mare_Man high magic aside, elder scrolls elves are grounded far more into reality in general so, of course they wouldnt
I find the Elder scrolls elves more relatable. I couldnt stand the LOTR elves. Perfection is a dead end. No room for growrh
@@user-ts2ny8jg9d in general when comparing fictional characters, the ones less grounded in reality tend to out compete the more grounded ones.
So a true bosmer player can never use plants for alchemy training
Even if they strictly follow the Greenpact's laws outside of Valenwood (which is the only place under the will of Y'ffre), they can still buy plants from other people. Even the Bosmer in Valenwood buy and make use of imported wood
Oops
I hope that in the next Elder Scrolls game (not the online version) we get the chance to actually go to their towns and to be able to become friends with them. Cause if I was in there (my Redgraud) would be Cool with them and I would ask them to make me better at Archery.
That's what I'm doing with my Bosmer character. Stealth archer (because that's never been done before), alchemist, green pact. NO PLANTS. Also means I must go get Namira's ring before she (my character) kills anyone, so she can eat them.
...
Yeah, she will be a bit of a pacifist.
Also I know it's just about Valenwood, but I think it would make for a fun challenge, to have a really diehard green pact-Bosmer who refuses to use plants, anywhere.
By the fourth era, the Bosmer were basically the Altmer's pet elves (the Khajiit were their pet cats), as well as targets of purges of the "unfit."
"Wood Elves, also known as Bosmer, are natives of Valenwood. This jungle nation is home to giant, migratory trees that house their cities." skyrim
Anyone notice this guy says every line with the same exact inflection?
Google: "Did you mean inflection?"
Most Europeans read/speak like that my dude.
@@TeeteringTod European!? Dude is upside down, boy you turn me, antipodean, crack another tinny, Kylie, prawns on the bbq, tie his kangaroo down sport, yep, he's from Lyg. Don't go, everything wants to kill you. And that's just his garden.
I know. Been making fun of this from the very first Drew video I watched. Many people seem to like it, but it's just not for me. I sometimes even thought about unsubscribing, because his in-video voice makes it hard for me to listen to what's said. And I love TES, so I want to listen. To me Drew is like that teacher who's whole lesson is just him standing in front if the class, reading from a book. 😴
SeiichirouUta i kinda agree with you. i wish he put a little bit more energy into his voice. i love the content, but i just want some more excitement, especially when the videos are so full of good information.
It makes it difficult for me to focus on what Drew is saying from the style he talks. It sounds like he’s reading a story. I love the content of FudgeMuppet but the way they speak makes my brain have to really concentrate when listening, which is exhausting.
Compare his speaking to Zaric Zhakaron’s speaking style. He’s another lorebeard.
Adventurer:
Bosmer: "If you pick that snowberry I'll put a arrow in your knee!"
So thats the cause of the Arrowed Knees Pandemic plaguing skyrims guards
I have actually ever only played Bosmeri characters in all of my 3746h of playtime
Ifra: "You may never eat or harm plants. Doing so would break the pact and harm the forest. You shall only eat beasts."
Skeptical Wood Elf: "Errr wouldn't it still be more efficient andless harmful to the forest to eat the plants directly instead of only eating animals, who have to eat even more plants just to grow-"
Ifra: "DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!"
Ifra: but the animals shite and rot which feeds the plants
the animals will need that food anyway, unless you're one of those vegans who thinks all animals will vanish magically once you stop eating them ? Plus, killing them helps regulating the fauna.
That's just consuming the plants with extra steps.
Been like a year since I had a good Skyrim Playthrough. Making a new load order at the moment. Can’t wait🔥
I just did the same. Took a few tweaks here and there so numerous resets. I think I'm finally set with a good mod list. There's one mod I wish the author would finish (hunt of hircine) sadly as it stands now it's unstable at best.
You know Bretons are my favourite race in The Elder Scroll universe BUT i would take a game ambiented in Valenwood other Highrock every day.
They have such alien culture it's so facinating !
There is a mod with the most of Valenwood!
Only the map with the beautiful alien Structure and buildings without quests and such.
i feel like we’ll never get a game in valenwood. to me, bethesda has gotten a bit lazy.
Rose If Bethesda survives the next decades I think we will get to Valenwood in 30 years or so.😂
But yeah, we should not expect something of highest quality.
Ysmir Wulfharth yeah i’m a bit worried about tes6. i mean there’s definitely been a decline in quality over the years, which is sad to see. i don’t know what’s going on over at bethesda, but they need to fix their shit. and not hire rapists to do the soundtrack 😂
Rose money over quality 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Too sad. What a great and respectable Company back in the day and now a total meme of greediness, false marketing and trash products.
Wait. What? O_O
Wow why am i still awake, may be 4:31 am in the morning but i have a couple more minutes
That the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard. Also ‘4:31 am in the morning’?
Ryan herbert well now its 5:44 am where i live
Same. 6:40am
@@curlycurl2451 Its still 9:20 pm where i live so i'm good 😎
Panji Wiratama its 7:26 am now, i havent slept
I like how someone finally picked up on that. I've always wondered if the Dutch "bos" was the inspiration for Bosmer, as it literally means forest. Seems too appropriate to be a coincidence
I followed Bosmer lore with my Bosmer character without even knowing it:
1. Stealth archer (And good at it).
2. Never did alchemy with plants
3. Chose werewolf over vampire (Hircine has good relationship with Bosmers)
4. My character is also cannibal (skill I got from a quest and been constantly using it before I knew Bosmers were cannibals)
5. Meeko as follower which coincides with Bosmers having the ability to communicate with animals.
6. Character likes to steal (which is also a trait of Bosmer they even have an event for stealing)
7. I love Bosmer more than any other race.
So if I'm ever gonna be transmigrated into the Elder Scrolls world I'd surely be a Bosmer.
stealth archers are for noobs
@@t2av159 Luckily no one cares what you think
Turning into a werewolf is actually super taboo for Bosmer as it directly violates the Green Pact.
u are now on a FBI watchlist for people with cannibalistic tendency
The bosmer culture is hands down the one I find most interesting
The Green Pact still allows for mining so stone and metal can theoretically be used. I hope one day great Elder Scrolls writers will go really in depth on Valenwood and the Bosmer. I would imagine they would do everything to find loops in the Green Pact. Like you cant harm plant but, what if you magically extract a fract of the oil/nectar? What if the plant is dying or dead, can I eat it? Fruits exist TO entice animals to eat them, presumably not digesting or dropping seeds, which then grow. They could benefit from a Dwemer relationship.
Hey FudgeMuppet, we appreciate the Skyrim content as always, but hoping you guys are ok with everything that's happening in Australia right now.
root9065 With all due respect, and as a fellow Australian, videogames are an outlet to escape from reality. Let us enjoy the fiction, a better world. It’s nice to have right now.
@@anfie2495 agreed mate, the blessings are kind but reminder hurts
it’s sad that the media (in the us at least) is hardly covering it.
Thank you. We are personally unharmed (aside from all the smoke everyone has to breathe in), so we consider ourselves among the lucky ones. It's all pretty intense here at the moment.
wait I'm lost, what happened in Australia?!
Bosmers were my favorite race before this video, but i never heard of the wild hunt before, that makes me love them even more.
I find it kind of hilarious how both Mankar Cameron's parents are Bosmer, so he should be too, but in Oblivion they made him an Altmer because the wood elves in Oblivion are probably the least intimidating characters in any game ever made.
Excellent job as always! Please do one on Aetherius!!! Its a rarely touched subject
It’s amazing how even after 8 years of release, this game is still getting attention. Truly beautiful :’)
I recall waiting outside of GameStop late on 11/10/2011 to be among the first to play Skyrim. I am playing Skyrim Special Edition this very moment as I listen to Fudgemuppet. This game is a bridge from the games like Oblivion to the games that would come later, Witcher 3. Skyrim and its various iterations have truly surpassed the critics and their yearning to return to all things Morrowind. Done so through the various mods that are still revitalizing Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition and Skyrim VR. These channels and modding communities have strengthened and contributed to the longevity of Skyrim beyond anyone's expectations. Hope we will have Elder Scrolls VI sooner than we are expecting. Been a very long break compared to the release dates of Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, Redguard Adventures, Morrowind, Oblivion to Skyrim.
Still todat. Just started as a wood elf
Your lore videos are so relaxing. I don’t know what it is about it, but I have actually put on your videos to help me sleep because I have trouble getting to sleep. They helped tremendously lol.
what an opening
your words gave me chills fudge, that rarely happens
In other words don't mess with the Bosmer. They will wreck you.
Just imagine the adoring fan from oblivion and you tell him to shove off and he goes and performs the wild hunt.
Yeah boi!!! this is one of the videos ive been waiting for,love you guys and your hard work. Keep it up FudgeMuppet you guys ROCK!!!
Awesome you guys did a video on the best race in the series 😁👍🏼
The only channel I love listening about builds and lore ❤
Happy New Year, FudgeMuppet! 🎊🎊
Looking forward to your content this year!
I thought the thumbnail said "Complete Boomer"
I'm roleplaying a bosmer for the very first time, nice to learn about them!
Can we get a Breton guide? Honestly I feel like the Breton is the most underrated race in the Tamriel
Underratted my ass
Breton: *literally the meta race in Skyrim, the likely race of Tiber Septim, and a huge focus of the community*
People: "uNdeRrAteD
I want subraces in ES:VI.
@@Mare_Man that would be the single best new thing they could add
@@euanwalters5030 im just mad that the bretons dont have magic flowing tattoos in the games. It would make em feel like what they are
Bosmer are my favourite elven race dunmer are my second favourite
I SPOKE FUDGEMUPPET USING ESO FOOTAGE INTO EXISTENCE I KNOW YOU NOTICED ME 😤😤😤😤😤😤
The Bosmer are also the most sexually active race, which made them the most widespread race in Tamriel.
LOVE YOU GUYS! GREAT VIDEO
Bruh you really gonna comment on a 30 minute video "GREAT VIDEO" when it's currently 1 minute old at the time of commenting lmao
Skyrim never gave us any Bosmer armor or weapons . Even though the Dwarves are long gone we got Dwarven armor and weapons . We got Dunmer armor and weapons with the Dragon born DLC . But they got lazy and decided to leave the Bosmer half finished .
Dwemer armor was made to last and their strongholds are everywhere. Morrowind is right next door and currently occupies Solstheim. It makes sense to have those armors and weapons. We are very far from Valenwood and their armor would mostly be made from leather anyway which we get plenty of variations of that as it is between forsworn, various fur armors, and the different scaled armors. Bosmer armor would be an unnecessary addition. Khajiit armor would be interesting, since we got Khajiit caravans that supposedly came from Elsewer. However I don’t think they’re known for their armor so they wouldn’t see it as worth as a trade commodity.
Yes 😢
@@Aquafrostsheke we have only the Glass Bow of the Stag Prince 😄
Awesome video😁
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Drew my man.. Superb video as always mate ⭐.. Luvin these fresh non-skyrim/oblivion clips you've been using 👍.
But I've got a very important question mate. WHAT IS UP WITH THE 36 LESSONS OF VIVEC??? if memory serves me right, it was you or Scott who promised that video long long long ago. Plz, would REALLY luv to see that video
Video Content Idea: Hrormir's Ice Staff from oblivion I don't remember a true introduction to the character just the item a little more info would be awesome! LOVE YOU FUDGE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
This is... more interesting that I was anticipating
Drew is the BEST narrator ever.
love these videos! it would be cool to have some analysis of some lore like the last year of the first era 2920.
perfectly perfect
Hey drew when u get ur next valenwood forage please use more malabal tor. It’s rainy days have the best ambiance in eso
I love the wood elves, they're my favourite race
Amazing video! Please do one for the Redguards, they are great!
after of one year of not playing you made me install eso again to play on my 400 hours bosmer
I love begin a Breton in my characters,
but I also the wood elves and altmer races too :)
Would love to see a build guide for the bosmer archer in this video
Oh man!!! That was a great video guys! Only thing that did suck about it was havin ta press pause to do my job lol
Bosmer, my favorite and vest Elven Race. Though still find it weird that there is a degree of dislike of Hircine according to the Greenpact and traditional rules of them. Yet logically you would think they would like and approve of Hircine. After all he is a forest/huntsman type.
I've been playing with hunterborn and other mods in order to play a bosmer correctly. It's been fun trying to adhere to the green pact and only use animal parts to craft weapons, armor, and potions. Totally different feel from all my other playthroughs so far.
Such a good video more like this 😃
Man i love the mer races, dunmer next pls 😍, i love your channel btw 😍🖒
Please do one for the Altmer🧝♀️🧝♂️
so really strong and deadly hunters..conquered like crazy. sounds right.
i hate that fudge muppet is getting so little views because he's content is so good
Wood elves in every other universe: herbivorous nature loving tree hippies
Wood elves in the Elder Scrolls universe: cannibalistic eldritch nature loving tree zealots
Bosmer are like 99% of my playthroughs. Favorite ES race by far
I've only started playing Skyrim recently and chose to play a wood elf. I'm just now finding out I was supposed to eat all those wolves, bears, trolls, bandits and spiders I killed. It's lucky I absorb the dragons I kill. I don't think I could eat a whole one
😂 I got into Skyrim during the pandemic. I usually play wood elf or Khajit.
First off my thoughts and prayers goes out to you and your countrymen and women during this time of fire and hell for people and wildlife. Please stay safe. You have a very soothing voice that fits right in with my morning coffee, going on years now.
Altherius the Altmer says: its moronic imperials not knowing werefolk and spriggans let us not forget how quickly they confuse a storm atronach for a storm "demon" and then start sacrificing their young.
I wonder how the Bosmer of Valenwood feel about necromancy. It's using a dead body, after all.
I can finally tell the differences between their voices.
I know I’m a little late to the video, but I have a build that I would love to see y’all feature on the channel. I’ve tried to do the role playing aspect of the build, but I can’t get the aesthetic and the back story just right. That’s why I’m asking the masters. The build i have in mind is an argonian liberator. I know y’all have a slave build but I think a liberator is way cooler. Maybe a member of the an xileel(I think that’s right) modded or not I would love to see y’all cover this.
Bosmer need their horns back.
So...are there not gonna be anymore builds? If not it's ok, it's just I liked waking up every Friday/Saturday morning with a new skyrim build. Either way, love y'all and love what you do.
I played a wood elf on my first playthrough on morrowind (first one i played). Id love to see how a major ES will incorporate moving trees/citites.
Also did you not say wood elves use torch bugs and not fire, yet ESO has torches in valenwood. Hmmm...
Pop Tarts + Elder Scrolls Lore = The perfect morning!~
My character "Ko"the wood elf started as a bard built his muscles climbing cliff faces and he read many books and with his knowledge and strength he set out to become one with the beasts of the forests gaining the ability to become a werewolf
I... I just started a new wood elf character. This is a little scary (Fine, fine... just a coincidence, but I got a giggle). Favorite race in ant game worth playing.
I would love an elder scrolls game in valine wood. Wood elves fighting off the empire & east trading co trying to harvest the forest
Great video. You're the boss...mer.
5:25
Well thats one way to solve the arrow paradox
Even though I don’t play them much i think there lore is my favorite
Fudgemuppet you should make a corrupt king build with the become high king of Skyrim mod and yes I know you have a king/emperor build already
Are you going to do complete guides to non-playable races like dremora and dwemer?
I'm just watching through these "The COMPLETE Guide to" videos again, since it's been a while, and I just now noticed. Where is the Imperials?
Mustn't change form, but filing teeth into points is perfectly fine. Oh those fickle false gods
Well if you make roads out of salt bricks it would kill the local plants without you directly killing them. Over time you could replace it with stones from rivers and make roads like that.
In the brotherhood when you have to pass as a secret famous cook if you are a bosmer the imperial chef agrees a bosmer makes sense because they know all types of herbs and plants. Meaning they eat plants.
Wow this came out recently
Get yourself a Bosmer wife and hope she goes wild on top, am I right? Haha
They do excel at shaping the wood.
Up until she starts chewing
I am curious how a green pact bosmer would do the quest to rstore the tree. You are restoring one but causing hatm to other briefky. Good video
7:55 So the companions forces you to break the Green Pact if you are playing a Bosmer.
Alf is cognate with Albus, white, it doesn't mean 'old', the idea is probably 'shining ones' like Deva means.
Always figured the khajit and argonians would be predominantly carnivours too.
So, I've devised the ultimate unarmed fighter build (w/ mods).
The needed mods are:
Moonlight Tales
Amazing Race Tweaks: Khajiit
and Treebalance Compilation.
Unlike Imperious Races of Skyrim, the racial abilities from ART are designed to be more immersive into what canon lore says each race is supposed to be like. ART: Khajiit changes many things, but key here is that their unarmed damage is linked to their one-handed weapons skill level and perks that are not weapon type-specific, additionally fighting unarmed raises one-handed weapons skill. Khajiit claw damage is adjusted depending on the armor you wear, heavy armor negating it entirely. Take heart, you also get a natural armor bonus in your Active Effects, not much of one, but it's not like you're going to be standing still or moving slow. Additionally, ART: Khajiit gives you access to using the Whispering Fang styles.
Wait... don't go yet, I'm not done. Treebalance includes some sweet changes to the one-handed weapons skill-tree, including a change to Paralyzing Strike, that instead of doing a certain kind of power attack, all power attacks have a chance to paralyze.
Last but not least, Moonlight Tales. The quintessential overhaul for playing a Werewolf that the Dawnguard DLC fell miserably short on. There's a lot of features I'm not going to cover in this, but I will cover in some of the higher level werewolf perks, there's one you can get a substantial bonus to your werewolf claw damage, and your base form's unarmed damage.
Finally don't forget our favorite enchantment to place on gloves and rings, Fortify Unarmed.
Get all of this and you'll be hitting like you've got a Dragonbone sword instead of cat claws.
You should do the dunmer next
OK BOSMER
