Imperial Legion or the Stormcloak Rebellion?

[Emperor_Eagle]

Which side do you prefer to take in the Skyrim Civil War and why?

[The Holy Chicken Overlord]

That's still all speculation that probaly wont happen. Why would Bethesda introduce Ulfric as a possible leader of Skyrim and have the whole Imperials Vs Stormcloaks thing if Ulfric would just get assassinated right after the Civil War ends? And even if he did get assassinated, the throne would just go to someone who supported Ulfric's policies, you may be able to kill the man but you cant kill the idea. Oh, and seeing as the Thalmor and giving aid to the Stormcloaks I think it is safe to say they would prefer a Stormcloak victory a lot more than an Imperial one. Also, every group you mentioned who doesnt like Ulfric (er, besides the Imperials. Replace them with the Stormcloaks) and may assassinate him also hate the Imperials.

[Lord of Gnarnia]

I would say Stormcloaks because the Imperials have enought land and they are
are an invasion force, the Stormcloaks are just in the defence.

[Cousin Okri]

You can read their dossier which states they don't wnat a Stormie victory at all costs, and to manage resources given to very delicatly. They would most likely kill Ulfric to eliminate the whole choice thing for a future game, so they don't need to totally ignore Skyrim. Like, having a High King which we don't know the allegiance of means that we cna hear of Skyrim in TES IV, since if someone said "Oh, High King/Queen Elisif/Ulfric..." then we'd know, but if they had a never heard of High King like "Oh, High King/Queen Dei Rhan Zorax/Hides-His-Heart..." then since we dont know which allegiant they are we're safe.

(Skyrim literally gave birth to the man that made the Third Empire, ever since the Third Empire's been around Skyrim's been in it. They aren't invading, they're defending a land that the Nords say they have no claim to, since in their eyes it's a totally different Empire.)

The dossier states neither sides victory would be good for the Thalmor, but, even if the aid is given "very delicatly," they still give resources to the Stormcloaks and they saved Ulfric's life at Helgen. I think that shows which side they support. Regardless, even if they did kill Ulfric to eliminate us from knowing which side won, the Stormcloaks would still be in power. It wouldnt if we didnt know who was High King, they would still be in power.

(False! When the Empire was first formed it had an Imperial Emperor from Cyrodiil who has murdered by Tiber Septim so he could take the throne, and again, when it was first formed it only consisted of Cyrodiil.)

[Cousin Okri]

(Yes, but Skyrim was the only province to be taken into the Empire without any fighting, so they were ready and willing to become part of the Empire, i'd say they were only independant for as long as it took for Tiber to get his papers together. And the Falkreath guy Cuhlecain never actually got to be Emperor, i think it was like, the night before his like, Emperor Knighting or whatever someone attempted to assasinate him, which they did, and slashed Tiber's throat removing his Voice.

[The Holy Chicken Overlord]

(Morrowind and Black Marsh also joined the Empire without any fighting, should we say they were part of the Empire since the beginning just because they peacefully joined after the Empire was already formed? As for Cuhleain, boo hoo he died one day before coronation, he was still leader of the Empire when it was formed, regardless of whether or not he was officially Emperor. Also, the assassin was cleary Tiber Septim, the Emperor and his entire family is killed and the entire Imperial Palace was burned, and the one guy who happens to survive was Tiber Septim.)

[Cousin Okri]

(Morrowind joined after the Empire skirmished their land, Vivec was quick to jump in there and ease tensions, because he knew that the Empire's combined forces would destroy Morrowind and it's infighting between Houses. Cuhlecain didn't do much in the way of running the Empire, back in the Interengum or whatever it is, the only way to make progress was war. War was something that Tiber did, and the political side of things which Cuhlecain controlled didn't really do much. He maybe ran the foundation for Tiber to cleave through forces. And in regards to Tiber, there's no proof he did anything of the sort, and although in Skyrim his name is pretty befouled (there is a lot more controversy than just Barenziah and Tibers controversy... yknow, the thing with Tiber's "lack of barbs" lets say) i wouldn't go as far as saying that the man that became a Divine would do such ♥♥♥♥♥ things like that.

(And where is the evidence that Cuhlecain did a bad job at running the Empire? Just because his reign took place during the Interegnum does that mean he did a horrible job? Over a decade of Tiber's rule was in the Interegnum, and of course we have all three aliances from ESO. And yes, while there isnt any directy evidence of Tiber Septims assassinating Cuhlecain (which would undermine my previous argument about Cuhlecain) come on, he is the second most powerful guy in the Emperor, yet out of every single person in the Imperial Palace including servants of family member of Cuhlecain, he is the only person who manages to survive which just happens to become the next Emperor. As for that not making sense since he became a Divine, he is the God of War, you know, the thing that involves brutally murdering other people? Not to mention, he used Numidium on the civilian populations of the Aldmeri Dominion. As for Morrowind joining peacefully, you were right. Sort of. It wasnt skirmishing it was a large-scale battles, one of which completely destroyed Mournhold. Regardless, what about Black Marsh? And what does this have to do with Stormcloaks VS Imperials?)

I mean, who wouldn't want to join the stormcloaks? You get to wear blue guard armor, clearly the stormcloaks are way more fashionable making them the better choice.

So you're Stormcloak because you disagree with the entire ideology of Ulfric STORMCLOAK and extremely unlikely speculation about him being assassinated? Brilliant.

For some reason, probably a good one, from reading that comment I litterally just died laughing!
