Which ending is going to be canon Stormcloaks Ending Or Imperial Ending?

[Morgan Fun Gamer]

hi dude so which ending do you think is going to be canon stormcloaks or imperials or maybe it could be similar to in the elder scrolls 2 Daggerfall they made all endings canon so will they do that again here or maybe they can do it like they wont mention it again like how they never mention the main character in any of the games again but this would be hard because it means that we could never go to skyrim again or hear about it you could still hear it about it but nothing about the stormcloaks or imperials and you could still have skyrim in prequels but i think it would be hard to do that so which one will be canon and thanks.

[Madao]

we won't know until maybe TES6 and even then, they might just gloss over everything that happened in Skyrim.
Same as the Oblivion Crisis being something that happened but nobody cares too much about anymore in TES5,

My guts says Stormcloak

[Rez Elwin]

The only one that continues the Empire is an Imperial victory. If the Empire gets removed from Skyrim and they become independent, the Empire loses yet another powerful nation and gets even weaker.

They need Skyrim to stand a chance against the Thalmor, Ulfric is an idiot if he thinks he can beat them alone. If Skyrim becomes independent, the Empire will lose, and then so will Skyrim.

Make no mistake the Thalmor will invade Skyrim, they need to for their plan to work.
Part of their pan to Ascend revolves around the Towers of Nirn, and the Throat of the world is one of them.

Lets be clear here my guts says Stormcloaks, but it would be a bad outcome ... however something in me says Bethesda will make a Stormcloaks win canon

[Liquid Inc]

I'd say Stormcloaks
Ulfric wins
Thalmor launch attacks against the Empire while they're busy combating the Stormcloaks.
The whole of the Empire falls into anarchy, Skyrim falls apart due to infighting over Ulfric's victory, and the Thalmor look set to win everything.....

Hammerfell is the last bastion against the Thalmor, and you play as a prospective soldier in the army ready for the fight against the Thalmor leader... Something happens, and the Thalmor disappear. No one knows why. Hammerfell look to survive another day, but why did the Thalmor flee the field?
You end up journeying across Nirn for the answers, and a method to stop the Thalmor once and for all.

I don't know, i came up with that in about a minute...

You can't be a soldier, you have to be a prisoner with no defined background. There is also no reason why Skyrim would have any infighting, Ulfric places Jarls that are loyal to, and support him as High King. After losing the Empire pulls out of Skyrim, they are not going to keep fighting. The Empire might have Issues depending on how they handle the conclusion of the Dark Brotherhood questline.

[Madao]

they'll just sweep almost everything that happened in a prior game under the rug again.

afaik, and I could be wrong, they did the same thing for TES 3, 4 and now 5.
no reason to believe they won't do it with 6

Depends. You could be draftee. Conscript, in times of need.
That way, your backstory could be anything.

And the people? Does everyone in Skyrim support Ulfric? Answer would be "no". There would still be cells of Thalmor sympathisers as well as those loyal to the Empire.
It wouldn't suddenly stop because Ulfric is crowned.

Depending on that questlines end, they might have MORE reason to stay and fight.

Most likely, but the Thalmor story is a big thing and has ties to the events in Skyrim. Unless the Thalmor events are simply a footnote in a history book, they're going to have to go a little deeper to make the story work in the next game, provided the Thalmor have a presence in it.

[alexander_dougherty]

Don't tell anyone, but likely neither.

They will do the whole make everything so vague that every possible outcome is..... possible.
Then they will slip small details that hint that neither side won, and it was a long bloody civil war that just sort of tapered off....... but don't tell anyone.

[Altbert]

The outcome of the Civil War? Dark Brotherhood destroyed or not? Did the Dawnguard Hunters prevail or the Volkihar Vampire Clan. If TES6 is released with additional lore, the lore will most probably state it's unknown. Destroy those in one province doesn't mean these are destroyed in other provinces. So, we will see those factions back again in TES6. When? Your guess is as good as mine!

[ChefNorby]

The presence of the Thalmore in Skyrim is that to help the Stormcloaks, because if the Legion lose the war, the Empire will be weak and the Thalmore can start an another war with them. If you don't continue the main quest after defeating the first dragon, and you join the Imperial Legion. Thalmore kill squad try to kill you, if you defeat them you can find a note about the Thalmore ordering to kill you (at this point they don't know that you are the dragonborn) So they spy and always watch potential threats to the Thalmore plan. I think in TES6 the Thalmore will be the main enemy, and the Tower theory will be the main focus. The Thalmore tries to undo the world and somehow the Towers connect to this. If you play the College of Winterhold quesline you can see, the Thalmore tries to destroy Nirn, and not just Ancano's going insane. Because after you finish in Labirynthian they send an another mage to kill you. So they know somehow about the Eye of Magnus, because Ancano know how to manipulate the orb. I think they have a spy in Psijic Order. At this point i don't know wich faction will win the war. If Throat of the World is considered a Tower, then the Thalmore want to destroy it, or manipulate it somehow. This is why good if not the Legion control Skyrim. If the Stormcloaks win the war, the Thalmore easily destroy them and do their thing with The Throat of the World. And the Legion is become weak so the other Legion territories become weak to so they can reach the other Towers as well.

[FauxFurry]

It most likely will continue from Season Unending with the armistice evolving into a complete cessation of hostilities.

[valium]

The Thalmor manipulated Ulfric into his rebellion, he was conditioned by them to do their bidding. Best case scenario is the Imperials win in Skyrim, then the Imperials and Thalmor destroy each other, causing each county to be independent. This would be nice tension for future TES games. Each country even more weary of each other, remnants of the empire and the Thalmor still causing trouble.

like how in oblivion they made it in the book the oblivion crisis they say that its unknown how the hero of kvatch infliterated the mythic dawn base and say that it is a legend and thanks for the information.

[psychotron666]

None of them. It'll be a typical Bethesda cop out.

"As the civil war was nearing its end, the thalmor realised that it was time to act, and so the great war II began. In the fighting, ulfric, Tullis and elsif were killed."

Bethesda doesn't do canon endings because the fan base has a melt down. Hell they had neloth call the nerevarine a "he" and the fan base melted down for ruining their head canon to the point the unofficial Skyrim patch removed the "he" part from the line as a "bug".
