So, long story short. I'm a level 10 One-Handed Warrior (Nord) with 1-2 perks in the following skils:
destruction
one-handed
restoration
smithing
lockpicking
heavy armor

All offense baby!

I now realize that the Nords skill bonus is http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Nord. Which is not quite inline with my play style per above. What I should be is a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Imperial which has the powers/skill bonuses in the flavor I like.

So, question. Is the extra skill bonus worth stopping and restarting as an Imperial or will they not be missed? Can I change my race via console or will that corrupt my game?

thanks

Dont know if you need to put perks into lockpicking.
