Imperial or Stormcloak?


I don't really care either way and I'm not sure which faction to pick so I'll just go with the results of this poll.

When do you pick a side? Cause Im 130 hours in on my VR file and I either can't remember what side I picked, or I didn't pick a side yet. I been playing this file for 3 years.

When you choose to do the Civil War quests

In vanilla at least, on the way from Helgen to Riverwood the guy you chose to save will tell you that you should join their faction and give you a quest marker to do so. Basically it's Solitude for Empire and Riften for Stormcloaks.

Also side with the Empire because it's better for Tamriel as a whole in the long run, the Stormcloaks are basically Thalmor puppets. Not willingly but they're destabilizing the Empire which is what the Thalmor want.

Oh. I have no idea if I did that. But I get the game back from my cousin tomorrow. So when I play it, I'll know what quest to see if I had already done. Very helpful.

hmm. Interesting point. I had some asshole attack me with Thalmor gear and I was like "fuck you dude..." I don't care for those motherfuckers.

one of these days i'm gonna do a playthrough where i don't do the Civil War questline and have the peace summit thing with the Greybeards instead

I didn't know that was a thing. I've held off on a lot of story stuff. I finished the mage college so that was fun. I didn't expect to be the arch mage so quickly but those quests were all pretty long so I get it...

Imagine siding with the jabronis that was about to wrongfully execute you. Couldnt be me.

Also Imperials are a bunch of bitches that signed the White Gold Concordat because they were scared to shoot the fade with the Thalmor.

Yeah, being totally decimated by the Dominion would have been a much better choice than trying to sue for peace to buy time to rebuild. You got it.

you're an absolute madlad

I'm actually curious as if it's the same for me. Before the VR version, I always maxed out at 80 hours and mostly just did random stuff. Now I'm at 130 and feel like I just did random shit again, except slower because the move controls fight me here and there.

Only played the Imperials once. Every other time I side with the Stormcloaks. The Empire wanted to chop off my head because I was walking by a group of people they didn't like. Makes you wonder how many others they've killed because it was more convenient for them. Seriously hey we found this guy in the woods and we don't know who he is. Well we could try and find out but that's hard so let's just loop of his head because we got all these other people to execute and I'm hungry.
Then there's the Thalmor who are a combo of the Nazis and Inquisition. The Empire not only works with them but allows them to roam the country side killing whoever they want because they want to wipe out a religion in order to unmake reality. Yeah they seem like a reasonable sort to work with.
The Empire is weak and is already dying due to its own incompetence and reliance on a single family line that has already died out resulting in the Empires rapid decline. While Ulfric is a fool he's also just 1 man who thinks he can be king, but Skyrim has a history of killing off foolish kings.

so what, you mean you've never finished the main quest?

Nope. Just never really cared that much. I don't have the attention span for games this big. I always wanna move on. Then I play it in fractions and I don't get the full depth of the world all linked together. Just the way it is. Even if I played it with no games in-between. I can't do something, then do 10+ hours of disconnected gameplay in-between and then link it to a thing I discover after that. My mind is already a planet away from the source.

But I also just don't like to do missions that make me jump from city to city when there's so much to do in one. I don't want to just see every city immediately. I actually think there is still 2 or 3 cities I haven't been to in any of my files yet.

The Empire does not work with the Thalmor/Dominion. I swear people didn't even play this game.

My main gripe with the empire was their appeasement of the Thalmor, especially due to the White-Gold concordat. But at the same time, it was understandable (albeit the wrong decision)

My main gripe with the stormcloaks was how they would end up weakening Skyrim in the long-run with their separatism. But at the same time, it's understandable what with Ulfric's brainwashing to believe he revealed key info that the Thalmor had already obtained (albeit the wrong decision).

Even the peace summit could end up going badly, since it also contributes to the weakening of the empire

Making a choice with no objectively correct answer is one of the things Skyrim does so well imo

Yeah an officer of the Empire. If you can't judge a military force by the conduct and actions of its officers then what do you judge them by?

The Empire does not work with the Thalmor/Dominion.


Then why do they let their agents operate in their borders killing and torturing Talos worshipers with no consequences?
