Bosmer (Skyrim)

Wood Elves reject the stiff, formal traditions of Aldmeri high culture, instead preferring a romantic, simple existence in harmony with nature and its creatures. These "country cousins" of the High Elves and Dark Elves are nimble and quick in body and wit, and because of their curious natures and natural agility, they excel in Stealth roles.

Skill Bonuses
Todd Howard, Skyrim's Game Director has stated that "They each start with some skills that are higher by default, but those aren’t hard to overcome with another race in a short time."

Starting Spells
Todd Howard has also stated that "They also have different starting spells and each has its own passive abilities, like before"

This will may be more important than in the past games as it has been confirmed that the only way to learn additional spells are to find spell tomes or to buy them from merchants.
