THIS was a litmus test. A person's opinion on this underdeveloped questline in this babby's first RPG game is so genius that it manages to tell you everything you need to know about a person's politics. If you picked Imperials, you failed.
THIS was a litmus test...
Cucked barbarians from the north whose leader is a literal (((Thalmor))) asset
Noble Empire just trying to keep savage retards from eating each other
dude the walls holding back oblivion are paper thin and kvetching over your favorite historical super hero being taken off the official marketing material is a secondary problem to that.
it doesn't matter who you pick as if the thalmor get too uppity, the terminator will be sent from the future to finish them off again (and again and again).
For me I chose Imperial because Nords attack Whiterun where my house is. So fuck em, let ‘em all die
I've picked both and quit before completing their first few quests because I didn't give a fuck kek
Idgaf I'm a Khajiit. I'm immediately going to backstab these disgusting furless freaks and sell their clothes for skooma money.
Of course the answer is stormckoaks. Every movement has glowies in it trying to subvert. That's not a reason to end support for a movement. And all that matters is your people's culture and country.
what if my guy is a kooky high elf married to lydia what then
checked for not dying in retarded meme wars desu
fpbp
You have to go back
The truth was both sides were right and fuck high elves. Even as a fellow high elf I was getting fucked with by those gold niggers.
A lot of people pick the Imperials for practical reasons, imagining they’re the only ones powerful enough to take on the Aldmeri Dominion. But this is a mistake because the game makes it obvious that both are inadequate in current form so the question becomes “of all possible outcomes of the civil war, which one brings a realistic possibility of defeating the elf menace?” There’s only 2 answers. Either the empire undergoes regime change or the stormcloaks have to win and form a new empire. Since the former is not option, the latter is the only practical choice. You have to support the stormcloaks.
Furthermore, the game is perfectly clear that Ulfric is a man of destiny, a great man of history, if you will. He can shout, he defeats the high king, he leads a rebellion in which he fights personally, he subjugates all the jarls of Skyrim if you help him, and all this after he escapes the clutches of death right before an execution as dragons intervene. Meanwhile, the emperor is sitting on his fat ass doing nothing and Tullius is just an unremarkable general plotting in a tower. Ulfric is THE guy and the only one worth supporting. You can even headcanon an eventual battle struggle between Ulfric and the Dragonborn for the future of the new Nord-led empire that will fight the Aldmeri Dominion.
I just played for the porn mods. Many coom much happy
Yep. Its globohomo vs nationalists.
Skyrim belongs to the nords
Thalmor are literal kikes (but normies think they're nazis because kikes have been projecting their racial supremacy onto nazis for decades)
too dumb to actually read the one piece of evidence on their side
OP proven correct
This
Wignats and skinheads are pawns as has been demonstrated in Ukraine
Exactly what one would expect a faggot
I've played Skyrim for hundreds of hours and never touched any of those storylines.
I just want to see the caves man
During the events of Skyrim hammerfell is successfully fighting off the Thalmor alone. Really makes you think
civil war is the most underdeveloped and underwhelming of all the quest lines
either way the high elves win while men die pal
But I liked their armor more.
The entire point of Skyrim was the that it trying to weaken the empire with a civil conflict to the east. The Thalmor are the real threat.
This 2011 game predicted literally everything about the 2020's political situation.
Oh really? Was that the entire point of Skyrim from your perspective?
No, that would be the mage's guild
I picked Imperials, because they were the good guys in the last two games. How was I supposed to know the lore before playing the game?
whatever was going on with ulfric and the thalmor doesn't change that skyrim belongs to the nords, it just means they need better leadership.
Siding with the elf fuckers or the blond elf fuckers
Guys who tried to kill me
Guys who I don't care about
Hard choice. I will pick the second one.
So never do the main quest or mod yourself as the true high king of skyrim. Problem?
Yea ?? where is the Nordic rebellion??
It’s literally in the lore anon, the thalmor we’re using Skyrim to distract the empire and weaken it while they attacked hammerfell.
you don't even need to do the quest anon. Not once in skyrim do i recall the storm cloaks executing a person without a trial.
TWICE, in skyrim do the imperials do the executions: in the beginning and the 2nd time when you go into solitude. They were not like this in morrowind, nor were they like this in oblivion.
The empire is over, it's collapsed, they are not the same, and no amount of kevetching, dilating, seething and coping will bring the empire back. It ended, and do you know what sweet anon? With the end of the empire is the end of the restraint. The nords are free to be nords, the dunmer are free to be dunmer, the argonians are free to be faggots and the kajhit are free to fuck off. The thalmor do not realize that they opened the fucking door for unrestrained barbarism.
However, microsoft is infected with soifags and pajeets, so the next eldar scrolls game WILL be shit, it WON'T generate memes, and we will be identifying the oldfags from elder scrolls memes.
That's the real rub of it. Should not have destroyed the heart anon. things did not turn out well when you did.
I've always picked Stormcloaks except for one playthrough just to see what the imperial quest line was like. Left me feeling pretty hollow. Anyway, what small brain retards who have never studied history don't understand is that it's not always better to be united but rather allied. Skyrim and the empire and Hammerfell could be allies and then if the Thalmor take over one capital city they still have a whole ass war to fight against the other two places whereas if it's one single entity then taking the capital of the empire is just straight up game over. This was the situation when England was trying to conquer an ununited Ireland. You take over one petty kingdom and the one nextdoor doesn't give a fuck and keeps fighting you. Imperials always felt like the leftoid choice.
Hammerfell had more soldiers and they were higher quality than basically all other provinces. They also fought on home turf and used guerilla warfare. Meanwhile, the imperial army in Hammerfell defected.
Actually, it only further proves my point that the Imperials are not able to muster a fight but a strong provincial government fighting as a new empire could. Imagine if Hammerfell had their forces backed up by Nord warriors. And if Hammerfell can fight them off, Skyrim also stands a good chance. But the Imperials don’t stand any chance at all.
And it worked because imperial soldiers in Hanmerfell defected.
Bro Ulfric has the literal Dragonborn as a diehard loyalist in every single one of my playthroughs. This is something those thalmor kikes never anticipated. They're fucked. Always have been. I mercilessly slaughter every Thalmor kike I come across. They can't account for it. I wish there was a mod where we could invade their homelands and holocaust all of them.
True. The empire is Rome in its twilight years and the Nordic (Germanics) will either undo it in the end or briefly give it new life before they undo it. There is no Constantine or Aurelian riding in to give it new life, just the white skinned barbarians. The empire might collapse but fast forward a few centuries and you have a new Nordic Charlemagne fighting off the high elves (Arabs) invading the continent.
Why would the Last Dragonborn be a mere chooser of factions? I'm here to wipe the board, flip the table, and burn it all down and restart in my own name. Get the fuck behind me, or else.
Based kino lore adder. Back in the Aldmeri Dominion Capital high elves are in a panic over vanishing expeditionary forces and rumors of a half-man half-dragon turning the tides. Very kino.
Oh wow is that the lore?? Tell me more, I love hearing op proven correct again
You’re just proving my point anon, the empire is weak and its strongest components hate them. It’s literally zog trying to larp as white civilization and enslave white men to sustain its jewish control.
Well if the Dragonborn is to have a political legacy at all, he needs to establish sovereignty or an empire. The game doesn’t give a you choice of doing that independent of the 2 sides and if that were to happen, it would be a break off faction of 1, either a civil war within the empire or the stormcloaks.
Fpbp
The civil war is a waste of time because both paths end with “thanks for all your help, here’s a shitty mantle queen weapon, now excuse us while the real work begins” and the only change is the color armor the town guards end up wearing. They could have offered to make you a jarl at least.
i think you mean >kvatching
My brother in Christ, I literally argued up above that the Stormcloaks are the only reasonable choice.
Samuel posts his opinion on stormcloaks
tard immediately has to post the same take to Anon Babble
It's a shitty questline with no redeemable qualities and OP is a retard niggerfaggot as always.
Redguard are Arabs, and they are going to save the Empire in ES6 using the glory of Islam (sword singing) to defeat the Jews (Thalmor)
This one says that argonians at the docks take too long to unload skooma from ships
Isn't really more like, Gay Imperials vs Classic Imperials?
Anon, right now the nords and the dunmer are at odds with each other. but sweet anon, how many pois in skyrim were named for the dunmer? How about that redorans retreat? how bout the nords knowing how to work bonemeal? Or the dunmer farming nirnroot near riften?
Then there are the orcs, and the foresworn.
There is also that nordic degeneracy that we remember from oblivion, about the nord ship captain who was FUCKING A DISGUTSTING BOSSIMER.
No, skyrim was reeling from the loss of the empire, like losing a grandparent, but then remembering that they changed due to dementia.
They will rediscover themselves, and unfortunately it will be AFTER they have mixed kids with orcs and dunmer. They will be this disgusting mutt race, the very damn thing the thalmor preached against, will be created and let loose upon tamerial. And you know what? tamerial will lose it's soul. No one liked the oblivion orcs, but they remember the skyrim ones. No one gave a shit about brettons, but they remember the foresworn. Post morrowind dunmer suck and get modded out by weeb elves.
You will go to character creation, and not get a single racial bonus or malus. you will be whatever mystermeat USAID tax money paid for.
That's the thing. The 6th house was right. and with the destruction of the 6th house the timeline is doomed.
Maybe we will get lucky and the elder scrolls 6th starts off with escaping a sea elf raid on the summerset isles as they murder and rape their way around now that no one is left to stop them, or perhaps the sload will come back?
Ulfric did nothing wrong
Skyrim
Not Oblivion
Not traveling around fighting the Daedra and closing shit the jaws of Oblivion and saving the empire
And the empire has hired professional torturers on purpose as seen in Helgen, and 0 issues with letting a vampire drain to death and torture prisoners in Solitude. The empire is so comically evil, only antifas ever side with it because they hate Ulfric for being a Nord.
I RP a moraless khajiit bandit and raid and kill both
Isnt one of the things he did wrong was kill a young boy in a duel? Anyway, i sided with nords because im a white nationalist.
Lol, I just started a new game a week ago where I'm playing a Nord Stormcloak. Been playing the game on-and-off since 2014 and I've never done the Civil War questline. I never liked how some NPCs supposedly die and some of the cities get fucked up.
It hasn't been as bad as I thought, but it's definitely prone to bugs. Definitely throw down hard saves before initiating each CW chapter quest. My first attempt at Battle for Whiterun got fucked up where the catapults were both firing into and out of the city, and after the battle, the catapults kept firing out of the city (I'm on the Stormcloaks side). Couldn't get it to go away, so I had to reload an earlier save and do it all over again. I genuinely hope Bugthesda has a better engine for TES6.
If you actually pay attention, Ulfric is NOT a thalmo asset, but rather they see him as an accidental convenience to further weaken the Imperial Empire. What they don't anticipate is you, the player, being a Dragonborn and tipping the scales in favor of the Stormcloak Nords.
Besides, this is all moot anyway as apparent leaks regarding TES6 indicate that the Stormcloak rebellion victory is officially canon. The storyline in TES6 heavily involves Talos, and the Nords' rebellion helps him maintain a modicum of his power.
Also, like the Stormcloaks say, fuck some outsider jews telling you who you can or can't worship, especially one so integral to your people's foundation and identity. You're not a country nor a people if you let others passively occupy and dictate your beliefs. Imperials are just FOX News Christcucks, doing as their Jewish overlords expect (or demand). Also, fuck immigration, Skyrim belongs to the Nords.
They’re not though. It’s not that 1:1.
I'd just put the Winterhold Jarl on the throne. It needs to be rebuilt anyway and the College of Mages is a fucking crisis causing pest.
Regardless the Reach belongs to the Forsworn
They're more Arab than High Elves. I mean, they're literally styled after Araby from Warhammer. They're as close to 1:1 as you can get. The only difference is the percentage of blacks.
He challenged the King (who was in his 20s), which is the only lawful way to change who is on the throne, and Torygg accepted the duel. The duel was entirely fair, by the rules, but it was of course deliberately a power-move by Ulfric to humiliate Torygg in the process by showing how weak he was and that a change was needed.
The duel was completely by the book, and with no empire in the picture, Ulfric would have had no problems of any kind. But the empire is so out for blood they executed someone for opening a door, and the only argument back from the normie solitude crowd when the guy explains the truth is literally "booooohoooo!!!!!".
Anyway, i sided with nords because im a white nationalist.
Based, but even if I wasn't I would side with them. The only reason people side against them is anti-Aryan seething hatred from jewish brainwashing. The Empire easily embodies all the leftitsts boogeyman of the British Empire, colonialism, destruction of local cultures, imperialism obviously... It's all they're supposed to hate, but since it's imperial-mutts subjugating Nords, it's okay in their book. If you took the Skyrim situation exactly as it is but transported everything to Hammerfell, all those fucking normies would be screaming "freedom for wakanda". There is no rational argument against the Stormcloaks, only talmudic hate.
wtf I’ve made this same thread a while ago
it’s possibly word for word but I can’t remember
why is it being reposted? and why word for word?
also I stand by my opinion
People forget that Hussein was a US asset. We had a lot of assets. So Ulfric was a thalmor asset? ok. key word is WAS. not IS.
I don't have high hopes for the next game, but then again maybe the woke failing all around them last year will put the fear of losing money into those kikes that they will put out a good game? I doubt it, because fallout 4 was NOT as good as 3.
I hope the leaks are true. The nords were not cold, they gave the dunmer solsteim after they lost their homeland. They also understood that Skryim was for the nords, and that the dunmer would not like it there, and they really don't. They never will. They don't have stilt striders, they don't have salt rice, they don't have kwama eggs. It's not vvardenfell.
That's what is starting to click with people, that if the migrants are not adopting to the new culture, they don't really belong. Orcs in skyrim? leave everyone alone and frankly the barbarian harem life is not that different.
Also i would like to see a plot twist of sheogorath becoming a mainstream religion in TES.
So Ulfric was a thalmor asset? ok. key word is WAS. not IS.
He genuinely never was, that's an insane lie leftists came up with by willfully misreading as they're pathological liars like their jewish masters. The dossier calls Ulfric an "uncooperative asset" and clearly states he told them to fuck off every time they tried any contact, so any help to his cause must be very subtle and discreet.
Ulfric was captured by Thalmors long ago, and he was deliberately allowed to escape in the hope he would create a side-conflict against the Empire that goes nowhere but weakens it. The goal always was for the Empire to remain in charge, but weakened, the Thalmor never expected Ulfric to actually win and they clearly state in their own dossier that they do not want a Stormcloak victory.
If you see 2 of your enemies fight, you're happy that they fight, that doesn't mean either is doing it for you. That's something all anti-stormcloaks jews refuse to admit.
You just checked your own post? You really are a faggot
I play as a Dark Elf and carry on the will of Dagoth Ur by ignoring the whole quest line and murdering my way across the continent.
Based Dagoth Ur poster.
In a way, you could say the Thalmor used Ulfric like the Germans did with Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov during WW1. They sent him back to his Russia, hoping he would undermine the Russian war effort. Only for their plan to spectacularly backfire in the long run (Communist Russia became Germany's undoing in WW2).
Indeed, same backfiring strategy
Honestly, i highly doubt the leftists played the game or even did the questline. I also didn't pay too much attention to the blade parts of the game, because they kinda sucked. For fuck sakes we have yelling power from killing dragons and eating their souls, and then they shore horn in weeabooo larping!? WTF. I understand that the blades are a big part of TES, but still.
The thieves guild and dark brother hood were not as good in skyrim. I mean you stole an elder scroll in oblivion AND you had a murder mystery house too! I understand those were tough acts to follow but what followed was not as good.
The mage school was harry potter from dollar general.
Skyrim was not a bad game, but the ugly truth is the games that followed have not been that great.
If the Empire is noble, then why do it divide it's population by falling in the thalmor trick of giving the human who worship thalos to the thalmor?
Ulfric is the worse thing that can happen to pointy ears who want to genocide all humans, I don't need to know more.
Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise!
We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars!
But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you."
Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel!
And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit!
The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth!
Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives?
And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people!
So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine!
For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever!
Terrible and powerful Talos! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment!
And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Talos, not as god, but as man!
Trust in me, Whiterun! Trust in Heimskr! For I am the chosen of Talos! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!
Their arty carefully avoid hitting your house. Your argument is invalid.
Besside, you literally summon a dragon in the house of the jarl. Hypocrite.
You are the one from my dreams!
I have modded my game so I can support the stormcloaks as a true son of Skyrim and fight honorably in the war. I always win the war for them and go on to save the world from being eaten by that Alduin. Once this has been accomplished I am seen as great folk hero and this is where I take control of things. As the Dragonborn with the royally mandated blood of the old gods I have a very serious claim to the seat of power. So I start my own rebellion of sorts. I use the fraudulent dossier on Ulfric as my justification to usurp control from him putting him to the sword for his treason. I take many of the Nobel women in Skyrim as concubines to give birth to a new royal family that will be the basis of my new ten thousand strong companions. As soon as the last battle is fought and all territory is under my new control in my Nordic kingdom I then take the fight to Bruma and begin taking territory. The empires lands belong to my blood after all and a new dynasty emerges. Once the remnants of the former empire completely falls to my rule then we look for our revenge against those filthy subversive elves whose wealth has been confiscated. Many of the elves in this new world are exterminated.
Honestly, i highly doubt the leftists played the game or even did the questline.
They're a hivemind for sure, but it gets so tiring to see all of their judenpresse on jewtube and r*ddit and their raids on Anon Babble where they constantly repeat their easily debunked lies. And it's a given that if Ulfric Stormcloak was Tyrone Ethiopian-Cock they'd all rally by his side to boot off le evil colonialist empire. They're pure jewish golems whose only goal in life is the extermination of the Aryan race.
Nah, Lenin's Russia was a complete shitshow. Trosky was completely mad and would have killed every Russian himself.
The street criminal backstabed them all and stole the revolution for himself, and yes he killed all skilled soldier but he also unified the country.
He's not talking about the future results of the events, but of the intended play by an outside force and the unexpected result that followed.
They're pure jewish golems whose only goal in life is the extermination of the Aryan race.
How has that worked out for them? The chinese have made being jewish illegal, and when the eurocucks need an army they labeled everyone they would need to draft as an incel, which is now a type of terrorist by their own fucking definition.
We are witnessing a peer review of history, where we will document if the non-aryans can create. The experiment is coming to an end, and the results are not looking good for the globalists. I don't want bloodshed, but unfortunately they are forcing my hands.
I always allow him to continue his holy mission because he is an ass man
Christcucks always choose imperial.
But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you."
Wait what the fuck
Is Talos a Jesus reference?
I know that the Elder Scrolls metaphysical lore is steeped in gnosticism and such but I never before considered Talos being a gnostic Jesus figure for the aryan nords
I don't want bloodshed
I didn't want bloodshed at first, but after enough researches into history, both recent and very ancient, my conclusion is that only Aryans can decently be considered humans, and that we are a too compassionate people, projecting our humanity on things that don't deserve it and being too fair to enemies, therefore always losing racial conflicts over very long periods of time. The only solution I see is the eradication of all non-Aryans off the face of the Earth, and not out of vengeance or cruelty, I'd like to see it done painlessly, but there simply is no other way to achieve an ever-lasting sane Aryan society.
One time I came ashore to this city called Dawnstar, What a nightmare that place was. The second I arrived a dragon appears so I hid. All these snow niggers kept laughing at me and were charging straight to the dragon yelling something about Sovngarde. They were all wiped out and the dragon eventually left. I was one of the few that survived.
Why are snow niggers so goddamn stupid?
Let's face it, Nords are just snow-niggers with no sense of culture and refinement. They're not the smartest (Elves) and they are not the strongest (Orcs), they don't even have any sense of community (See: Civil war in Skyrim). All they have is "muh honor" and "muh thu'um"
Think about it, across Skyrim are there any places worth visiting? All the cities are shit and falling apart. I went to Riften and it snow niggers everywhere trying to pick my pockets. The only exception is Markarth which was built by the dwarves and even then that city is falling apart. That's why the Aldmeri Dominion should have rule over the land to make sure these animals don't drag other races into savagery.
Yeshuah is a reference to countless myths before him so it's not hard to see parallels in all directions. The important difference here is that Talos was born a man, and through his accomplishments alone became a god, that is entirely Aryan pagan beliefs, not saulstianity, any saulstian would tell you it is heresy, that all humans are evil and wicked forever and any pride or dreams is a sin.
it's always trooned out pagan/wicca women talking about how all the elves are superior to humans choosing imperial
based skooma enjoyer
(((women)))
So trooned out wicca women and Christians are allied against the nords
Whole lot of jibbeh jabbah just to inform the thread that you are, in fact, a dumb nigger.
More importantly, did you prefer GDI or Nod?
Christians always pick Nords, Nords have an afterlife, Imperials go straight to hell with the kike thalmor
Stormcloak every time.
The elves were the ultimate jews playing both sides. If you broke into the embassy you would read a journal that they were supporting Ulfric because it keeps Skyrim weak and allows the empire to maintain control.
through his accomplishments alone became a god
that is entirely Aryan pagan beliefs
Not saulsian Christianity
So Talos is actually a heroic form of Alexander, Caesar, Augustus, Hitler etc?
a realistic possibility of defeating the elf menace?
I've never known Christian who doesn't despise the nords due to pre Christian scandi/germanic analogs.
stormcucks were always the (((Thalmor))) best gentiles. The Imperials are preparing to nullify all treaties with elven, but stormcucks got financed and freed to keep humanity busy while (((Thalmor))) embassies are at work financing both sides so they don't realize (((who))) the real threat is.
Way more than saulstianity for sure, but it's pointless to try to find a perfect 1 to 1 for most things. It's pretty interesting that Thalmor resembles Talmud so much though, even more so that Molag Bal was genuinely intended to be named Moloch Baal at first, and also the Dunmer of Skyrim book is a perfect copy of what any brown/jew would say, you should give it a read, there were definitely some heavily redpilled people on the writing team. en.uesp.net
they don't give the correct choice which is to walk in the footsteps of talos and beat everyone into submission with an army of dragons at your back
so picking imperials is the next best choice and closes to the one you don't have
Skyrim belongs to the nords
Imagine putting any thought into the choice. Bethesda’s writing is such dogshit.
I never understood why the Thalmor get branded as jews in by skyrim-only fags when the Altmer live in a xenophobic ethnostate and were isolationists for most of their history?
Is it their clever use of good ol' divide and conquer? The BASED and TRVE Romans that everyone seems to love first coined that phrase as "divide et impera". It's in the same umbrella as Imperial Germany's "Realpolitik".
So what's the problem here? Is it because they're elves and HFY and all that stuff?
And speaking of Romans, I never heard anyone accusing the Imperials for being kikes/globohomo Americans, despite being described in the lore as (((cosmopolitan))) AND actually waging imperialistic wars throughout the eras to stamp out nationstates and incorporate them in their one world government empire (a lot more than the Altmer or Thalmor).
Do midwits turn a blind eye because of MUH ROME aesthetics?
As per usual, Anon Babble (and /vpol/) sees some trees but not the entire forest.
Also, the Imperial ending would have had the Imperials preparing their revenge against the knife ear fucks instead of gay mead organs at Whiterun.
imperials looked cooler so i joined them
it's that simple
you got the drip? i'm with you
most Christians I kow despise the Empire for looking like filthy Wops and Greasers
Fpbp
If you're actually redpilled you side with the Imperials
I want to play Oblivion for the first time
The Imperials are preparing
Why didn't they do that in 25 years? Why did they choose to cripple themselves for many years to come by choosing to fight the Stormcloaks instead of allying with them despite knowing it's what the Thalmor want? Why aren't they doing it right now since they'd had all of Skyrim behind them to join their fight against the elves? Why are they allowing Thalmor eyes and ears everywhere, even letting them sleep in their Legate literal bedrooms, in such a way that any attempt at organizing against them would be instantly busted?
The "imperials preparing" meme only works on utterly ignorant normies too lazy to check anything out. The empire is sacrificing an entire generation of soldiers in a fight it could avoid instantly by telling the elves to fuck off, which they wouldn't be able to do much about.
It's about the attitude towards the character. Imperials step aside when someone attacks you, but stormcloaks will always help you fight
The Imperials just tried to chop my fuckibg head off for no reason, damn straight I'm siding with the stormcloaks
Dunmer appreciator here, I help anyone who fights against the globohomo empire and mossad dominion.
The Tiberian series is so underrated for its atmosphere, story, and worldbuilding. Tiberian Sun had one of the best post-apocalypse settings ever envisioned, in my opinion. Red Alert was more fun, especially in MP, but the Tiberian series was superior in every other aspect.
That's hard to answer. Westwood did a good job at creating two equally compelling factions with horrible flaws. It depends on the lore era, I suppose. For Dawn, I'd probably side with the Brotherhood because GDI at the time was just some Jewish UN military arm for Globalists. Tiberian Sun? Probably GDI, because the Brotherhood had devolved into an Abrahamic, fanatically religious cult who worshipped an immortal messiah (possibly alien), and was bent on baptizing the world with their mutating jew-crystals lol.
I miss developers like Westwood. We're showing our age here :(
Somewhat related, I made a High Elf character named "Ronaire Unzerian" that hate's the Thalmor. Initially sympathetic to the Stormcloaks but sides with the Imperials after reading documents at the Thalmor Embassy saying Ulfric is an asset of theirs.
Named after the real life Ron Unz of The Unz Review; Due to their similar nature, choosing a moral life and speaking the truth over their own demonic brethren
Altmer: High culture that is imitated across all of Tamriel. Contribute to the spread of knowledge. Skilled mages. Pretty much the closest thing you can get to Nazis with their eugenics and racial purity dogma. Not niggers.
Breton: Cultured, intelligent, and good mages. Breton cuisine is the envy of all of Tamriel. Not niggers.
Imperial: Conquered all of Tamriel, create magnificent architecture and works of art. Not niggers.
Redguard: Legendary seafarers, shrewd merchants, have built impressive desert cities, and are excellent fighters. Not niggers.
Argonian: Lizard that worships a magical tree and gets high off the sap, gaining enhanced strength, speed, and stamina. Eats powdered deer penises and raw fish. TOTAL NIGGERS.
Bosmer: Lives out in the jungle doing ooga-booga dances, jumping around on trees, and having post-war feasts where they put the dead bodies of their foes on the table and chow down. TOTAL NIGGERS!
Dunmer: Violent, stubborn, and have pretty much been living in hollowed-out insects and trees for centuries before and after the Imperial City was built. TOTAL NIGGERS.
Nord: Dumb, violent, and their towns look like shit. They're just a bunch of huts covered in snow. They haven't invented any kind of technological breakthrough ever. TOTAL NIGGERS.
Orcs: Rude, crude, smell like shit, violent savages. Everywhere outside of Orsinium that has orcs in it is just a bunch of huts, and Orsinium is just stolen Breton architecture. TOTAL NIGGERS.
Khajiit: Steals everything that isn't nailed down, most are career criminals, and they're always selling what's the Elder Scroll's equivalent of crack cocaine. NIGGEREST OF THEM ALL!

Redguards are literally niggers. Their skin is black.
I sometimes forget that the Dunmer despise the Aldmeri Dominion. Imagine an army of pissed of Nords as its backbone with Dunmer battlemages in support.
Initially sympathetic to the Stormcloaks but sides with the Imperials after reading documents at the Thalmor Embassy saying Ulfric is an asset of theirs.
Ah fun, roleplaying an illiterate retard
You guys are typical western retards that all about pride and cant think ahead at all.
When player arrives in Skyrim, all bad shit already happened and all bad decisions are already made. (You) are here not to create a destiny but to do a damage control. You are here to minimize damage that has already done and do basic preparations for fighing against (((Thalmor))).
In order to do that, you need to stabilize situation first and stop bloodshed. This whole imperial invasion was obviously a huge fuckup but, again, it's already happened so you need to work with that you have on your hands. Nords can have their country back later, when everything will be over. Right now you beat opposition into a submission and work together to fight (((Thalmor))). After than nords can have a separate country and diplomacy back. You have to bite the bullet and work with empire there for now, even if you dont like it.
Yeah but they’re gay niggers from outer space not biologically retarded niggers
It's pretty clear that the Thalmor want the war to continue for as long as possible, and the devs intentionally made it so that ending the war for either side is good enough in terms of cucking thalmor. Yes, the empire is cucked by the thalmor, but if the war is over then they can focus all their efforts on rebuilding for another fight. Yes, Ulfric has a thalmor note written about him, but nobody reads it so they assume he's a sleeper agent instead of a convenient scapegoat to weaken the empire some more. The war ending early, and with the help of a powerful dragon/man abomination, makes the elves kvetch forever.
I believe most people playing for the 1st time will pick Stormcloak, for the simple fact Imperials were about to decapitate you on the start.Its kinda what you're expected to do, its the "good" option.
based
Nords can have their country back later, when everything will be over
Actually they can have it back right now with one easy step
not my problem. civilian politics is a circus for kids and nerds.
I honestly wish there were better mods to side with the Thalmor. Playing as a Thalmor aligned elven supremacist sounds fun.
Jews are literally cannibalistic necromancer pedophiles.
Just join the empire anon
en.uesp.net
there were definitely some heavily redpilled people on the writing team
Fuck me, I assumed the Skyrim devs were all fags
I dunno where Kirkbride truly sits politically, I thought he was the only genuine influence on the games however and the post Morrowind stuff became increasingly "politically correct" vanilla. Nice to see there are people who have more than sacrificial bleeding hearts given to foreigners who worked on Skyrim, I wonder what the hell the new game will be like however.
Molag Bal was genuinely intended to be named Moloch Baal
I only started truly looking into ideologies, religion and spirituality recently. The Elder Scrolls were my favorite games by lore and I immediately noticed the Gnostic references with CHIM and such, dunno how the fuck I missed "mlk baal"
it was an allegory of Rome in its prime and Northern barbarians
So the game creators already think like you too, since they force that option with the murder thing. Its cucked to side with those who wanted to kill you whatever the ideology. So its just natural for humans to side with the other. Again, its forced. So my conclusion picking stormcloak is failing the litmus, since you side with game creators and this forced "choice"
they will die in a decade if they do that
On the contrary, picking the stormcloaks just means you're willing to follow a murder. Ulfric killed the guy "just because he could".
His reasoning was because only a strong person can be king, and the fact that he killed the king makes him "more worthy to be king" which is pretty much a child's concept of what a true ruler should be.
So for those who actually choose the stormcloaks by will, either are barbaric by nature, or just plain out right stupid.
Khajit has wares if you have coins
I didn't pick any of them. Both of them are assholes and on the table with the greybeards I did my best to piss both of them off.
Why walk when you can ride?
Is Vivec the most walkable city in the Aurbis?
Why shouldn't skyrim be apart of the Empire? why should it be any more autonomous than the other provinces? "Why should Egypt not be annexed and incorporated as a Roman province"? The answer to all of these questions is "might makes right, woe to the vanquished". I'm not agreeing or debating the legitimacy of the different points. Rather, if someone wants an independent Skyrim, they fight for it. If the Imperials want power to resist the Aldemeri, they annex Skyrim for its population and resources. Reasoning on the rights or wrongs is childs play and a compromise is unnecessary because there is no compromise in a duel, just a winner and loser.
I understand your point but Skyrim belongs to the nords so its not a viable option
The issue there is that all normalfags follow the script of "haha! I realized that Stormcloaks are le racist le bad therefore the Empire trying to kill you was a trap and my huge university education and rigorous rick and morty study allows me to avoid it!".
Try explaining to the fags that neither of the 2 Nords they see are Stormcloaks (one is a civilian, the other is a retired soldier from years ago), that Ulfric genuinely is not more racist than anyone else in this country and has 1 single comment about the dunmer in all of his dialogue (and a justified one about their whining), or that the dunmer we see being accosted is an evil slaver bitch who tortures Argonians for fun due to their race, and they'll flee in terror to repeat again the next day "2 more weeks, the empire will come through". Gradually, I began to hate them.
The empire will die, and that’s a good thing. The thalmor can’t defeat a strong, proud, homogenous people as evidenced by hammerfell resisting the thalmor where a unified empire surrendered and adopted elvish imperial law. You mock pride and elevate materialist analytics when your own logical metrics should tell you the spirit reigns supreme
Duels are a lawful way to change leadership, and the only one available to Ulfric since Torygg was too much of a coward suckling on the teats of his advisors to ever go against the Empire. But you already knew that, and are just following your jewish script.
Dragonborn is literally ending Armageddon while turning tides of battle one of the most significant historical events in Tamriel’s history, is the most significant person to walk the earth since Tiber Septim himself
you’re just doing damage control
Ulfric got weapon from them one time so that means they own him
Imperials literally signed a treaty of submission and subservience but that's okay because uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I support the people not the leader
Stormcloack always
BLESSED Penielial white strake
Only aesthetically. They’re not an allegory for Arab history.
anyway. unironically the Elder Scrolls setting is a masterclass in political and religious theorycrafting
Picking imperials is based if you select imperial (or Thalmor) as your race.
Lesser races must be subjugated.
Cucked barbarians from the north whose leader is a literal (((Thalmor))) asset
Noble Empire just trying to keep savage retards from eating each other
its ridiculous in this day and age that people cant see all this 'spreading' of civility was done with barbarism and savagery, its always amazed me that sticking you head up in the air proudly as you kill some poor bastard for being an alledged lesser because they opposed you fucking savagery on their people is not a fucking argument.. Get your Romn Empires to fuck out of our country and we promise we'll never be involved in any of your fucking wars again because your dirty lying pricks and not good souls.
>Ulfric got weapon from them one time so that means they own him
And they had to do it in secret, they genuinely have to stalk a camp, put a cache of weapons near it for some random soldier to stumble on it when he goes to take a piss, where he'll assume it's some bandit stash.
Ulfric refuses all contacts with them and calls Elenwen a bitch when forced to see her, meanwhile Tullius and the rest of the imperial Jarls go unarmed into a Thalmor compound, ready to be slaughtered which would cripple the Empire instantly.
I think it belongs to the falmer reply to this post if you agree
Keep your child sacrifice to yourself you fucking cliff nigger.

i didnt even notice that there were a 2 options to pick from. i just spaced out after hearing the same voiceover tracks over and over. the ai npc addon is awesome and one day i will spend 18 hours trying to get it working

Another Thalmor bait scroll
Why did the Empire not step in to eliminate the cliff racers? Jiub had to do it for them, alone.
Neither side was the good guys or bad guys. They were both being manipulated by the Thalmor all along. The real litmus test is picking up the clues throughout the game that allow you to see behind the curtain. Just blanket picking one side over the other as the good guys or bad guys requires you to ignore so many details regarding the conflict, and what they're hiding from each other. That's the real litmus test.
I played both. But with evil characters I always joined Imperials like those characters that were in the Thieves guild and Dark Brotherhood.
With good aligned characters who didn't do those things I always went with Stormcloak and especially if I was playing a Nord which I did often.
I think I did it right.
The thing is the Thalmor didn't really care who won because they win either way. I think there's letter that talk about it in the Embassy. If Ulfric wins, the Empire is weakened which helps the Aldmeri in other parts or Tamriel. If the Empire wins, it helps the Aldmeri stamp our Talos worship and bring Skyrim under control. The Aldmeri play both sides, they are very sneaky and cunning also greedy with a lust for gold and power and many are religious fanatics who think only they are the chosen people.
Empire literally cucked itself to appease their Thalmor masters. Eat a dick. Nothig noble about it.
Stormcloak players are unvaxxxed
Imperial players got vaxxxed
Imagine accepting kikes (thalmor) banning jesus (talos; the ascended human God) and going along with it as 4d imperial chess.
They tried but everyone they sent was skeletonized ok the spot.
I picked globohomo, because they were the good guys in the last two wars. How was I supposed to know the lore before joining the war?
I wonder how many whites will be saying this soon?
People are retarded and don't get that asset does not equal agent, and asset doesn't mean they work for the org calling them an asset. It just means they think they can use that person in some way. A great example of this is how Lenin was an Imperial German asset in WWI. They put him on a train to Russia hoping he would destabilize Russia and knock them out of the war, which he did. That didn't mean Lenin was secretly a German agent, that he didn't genuinely believe in communist revolution and really was just working for Imperial German designs on Russia. It also doesn't mean the Imperial Germans were secret commies. They saw a use for him, and so they used him.
Like you said, the Thalmor's own documents call him an uncooperative asset, so the fact that people can read this and conclude it's the smoking gun proving that Ulfric is an "Altmerian Candidate" created and installed by the Thalmor can only be explained by retardation. They simply saw Skyrim independence as a thorn in the Imperial side, which it was. The Empire deserved to lose anyway because they were megacucked and subverted by the Thalmor. Imagine jobbing to Elves and stripping the divinity from your historical foundational God Emperor because Elves demand it, and then trying to force this on one of your provinces because they want to keep worshipping the dude who founded your very Empire and became a god. It's hilarious to see Empire cucks claiming that Stormcloaks are covertly subverted and subordinate to the Thalmor when the Empire itself is openly, overtly subverted by them.
I always choose imperial
grim prediction.
The only faction worth joining is the Companions.
Also aldmeri females have big giant milkers
Wrong. The Stormcloaks were supported to keep the Empire divided and weak so the Thalmor could finish it off.
They lost the war and were rebuilding to fight back the genocidal Thalmor. Dividing the Empire, FOUNDED BY A NORD, that kept the savages under control and in order, was divide and conquer. You're a retard. Skyrim being divided from the Empire would have led to the genocide of the non-elfish races. IE, you fall for jewish psyops.
The Empire can leave Skyrim whenever they want without bloodshed and the Nords could help them later on, just like Hammerfell seceded. It's the Empire's own fault that they keep weakening themselves, since Nords make up a big party of their military.
The Empire *is* Skyrim. The nigger Ulfric murdered the king and started a civil war that only helped their jewish enemies.
Based post. The Empire did make a massive mistake signing the WGC due to the immense cowardice of the leadership, nobles who got scared once their homes were the ones being sacked, and poor information on the strength of the enemy. But that could somewhat be forgiven if the Empire had decided to establish a secret HQ in Skyrim and let it become "independent" so as to do things away from the elves' eyes. But no, the Empire chose to sacrifice an entire generation in a pointless conflict, confirming they are terrified of going to war against the elves at the minimum for the next 10 years. They have no plan, they're just scared, incompetent, infiltrated, and led by corrupt nobles. Maven, Erikur and Siddgeir are already completely fine with serving the Thalmor to maintain their status, imagine what the situation must be in Hammerfell.
The Empire lost itself when it renounced said founder. It can go rebuild itself, but do so without Skyrim for the time being.
look at this imperial faggot
The Empire *is* Skyrim
You are accidentally correct
Ulfric murdered the king
As is tradition. The civil war was only able to start because of the major outrage caused by them outlawing the worship of their highest god. The Empire literally deserves a bloody nose and a beating for cucking themselves to that level.
And half of Skyrim disagrees, enjoy being a tool of the jew.
Prideful, retarded nonsense that would have served to end the Nordic race. You're a fucking retard, thanks for sharing.
I would argue that the Empire lost their entire mandate to rule by giving up their foundational deity. Like imagine if the Pope renounced God during one of the Crusades. How could Christendom have any legitimacy? What does the Empire even stand for, without Talos?
Going with the barbarians from the North is the retard no brain option destined to fail at the end.
The leaf is a clear troll using a gish gallop fallacy.
Untrue. The Thalmor explicitly did not want a Stormcloak Victory. They wanted the Stormcloaks to be a constant drain on the Empire as they struggled to hold the province. In much the same way as the death merchants of modern times would never have wanted Ukraine to decisively rebuff and defeat Russia. They want the war to continue because the war is its own end.
With a Stormcloak victory and ejection of the Empire lies the possibility of reconciliation with the Empire and an Alliance against the Thalmor, and a potential wake up call for Imperial leadership that appeasing the Elves won't save their Empire. They can stop dedicating resources to trying to force the Nords to be cucks and can in turn stop cucking out themselves. An Imperial victory would likely still leave a persistent Nordic resistance movement even with the Stormcloaks defeated. Which is exactly what the Thalmor want. Aside from the full scale conflict just dragging on, an Imperial victory is the 2nd best result for the Thalmor since it would be a hollow victory. They would either have Skyrim always be an unstable province or they'd have to murder half the population that still worships Talos. Either one is good for the Thalmor.
Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people!
You need to prepare and regain forces to defeat the Thalmor though
I fight for the men I've held in my arms, dying on foreign soil. I fight for their wives and children, who's names I heard whispered in their last breaths. I fight for we few who did come home, only to find our country full of strangers wearing familiar faces. I fight for my people impoverished to pay the debts of an Empire too weak to rule them, yet brands them criminals for wanting to rule themselves! I fight so that all the fighting I've already done hasn't been for nothing. I fight... because I must.
not a fan of fantasy games. I prefer scifi

The leaf is a troll, but good post.
An Imperial victory would likely still leave a persistent Nordic resistance movement even with the Stormcloaks defeated.
Indeed, and it's another thing that shows how mentally ill leftists are. If the empire is beaten, no one from the common people genuinely gives a shit, only corrupt nobles will seethe, but if the Stormcloaks are beaten, then most of the Nord population is fuming and directly states they'll continue to fight and be martyrs for the cause, that they'll never give up on an independent Skyrim, and they insult you for destroying the country. How can one eradicate the Nordic freedom movement and not feel like the biggest piece of shit, is something unthinkable to a non-jewish mind.
I couls never get over the fact that the imperials tried to execute me at the beginning. The gross condescending attitude towards nords didn't help their case.
Yeah, just trust the plan, Imperial Patriots in control right? Trust the corrupt, decadent fucks who jobbed to Elves and then compromised their foundational principles. Trust the dudes who banned worship of the most important of their gods (gods who, btw, grant actual power to their worshippers, I'm sure the rest of the divines look kindly upon their newest colleague getting fired by the Empire). Surely such people are going to rebuild the Empire's strength and beat the Elves next time, and surely the Thalmor will just allow this to happen, you just gotta keep worshipping the 8 harder (not the 9!) and we'll get those Elves next time!
Nonsense. Free Skyrim with a return to the ways of the Thuum has a better chance of soloing the Thalmor than the corrupt cuck Empire ever would even if they "Rebuilt their Forces".
not having a wall of obelisks
Jewish Defence Initiative is gay.
Yeah, times were good back then. I still have most of my old big boxes including C&C Gold and Covert Operations.
I can't believe people to this day unironically choose the faction with the MK Ultra'ed at worst, useful idiot at best leader over the faction that openly and practically at every opportunity proclaims that Great War 2 is coming around very shortly.
But I guess Americans never learned anything from their geopolitical meddling and still support the al-Qaida equivalent because it got a nordic paintjob. Which is funny because these religious warriors don't even fight for the actual nordic pantheon.
But sure, the faction that is struggling with ONE legion consisting mostly of local conscripts will totally beat the Thalmor.
Praise saint juib
I sided with the Imperials because their argument made sense to me at the time. They only peaced out with the Thalmor because they didn't have the manpower or the morale to fend them off at the time. It was a tactical maneuver, and if you complete the quest on the Imperial side, Tulius and Leggate Rikke even say "now we can focus our attention on tbe real threat, the Thalmor..."
I dunno man, something about the Stormcloak quest line just didn't feel like the right way of doing things. I empathize/sympathize with getting fucked by the peace treaty, and the religious restrictions, but in my mind it doesn't matter to me because I'm not religious and if they banned something like that I'd do it in private anyways.
It's all massive cope that doesn't stand up to the slightest scrutiny. The Empire never lost the war, its nobles just got scared when their mansions were the ones being burned down and they rushed to sign a submission treaty. Hammerfell told them to fuck off and successfully defended itself from the elves ("reeee but they had some slight imperial help!" then why the fuck didn't the empire continue fighting if a small portion of their army was already enough?).
The empire is fucked because all of its leadership is corrupt nobles, they're all the kin of Sidggeir, Erikur and Maven, absolute degenerates who only care about their wealth. It's been 25 years of utter submission, and and admitted at least 10 to 15 more years of submission from the empire since they willingly massacred their own soldiers, the Stormcloaks, who only want to be free of the elves who are protected by the empire.
All imperial supporters have are dumb mantra that are plainly wrong, it is impossible for the empire to get back on its feet, it doesn't want to do so, and the empire has only lost territory in the last 200 years, never gaining anything once. It's a degenerate decrepit institution that Talos himself has rejected in Morrowind, that is led by illegitimate dynasties who weren't recognized by any gods.
Imperial forces were beaten into submission. Total Thalmor takeover couldn't occur with there being so many joined Imperial nations.
If the Imperials lost Skyrim to isolation, it would weaken them to the point of complete capitulation which would then lead for a Thalmor-dominated Nirn instead of Imperial-dominated.
This would likely lead to the natural invasion of Cyrodil, including the takedown of what was once a cosmopolitan capital nation. The end result would most likely ensue a breaking down of the existing alliances as the various racial factions and regions engage in a form of turf war across multiple fronts. This would almost certainly benefit the already heavily organized Thalmor to take even more territory and power, possibly even establishing them as the dominant faction.
The only other groups that would have any sort of escape would be the Argonians (as the black marsh is hell), the Khajit (because they are kin to a desert land), and possibly the residents of Hammerfell. Everyone else would basically have to take Thalmor dick.
Bullshit imaginary scenario. Skyrim is there no matter its administrative status, retard. If the Thalmor were to invade, Cyrodiil wouldn't prevent Skyrim from helping, and Skyrim wouldn't miss the chance to fight them.
Cyrodiil can be easily invaded because its geography is dogshit, but it's just as easy to invade back, the elves cannot hold onto Cyrodiil for long, only the Imperial City is really defensible, everything else can be stomped over quickly. The only ones who "have to" suck Thalmor dicks are the Imperials because their leaders are faggots.
The Empire is already dead. Cyrodil is destroyed, High Rock is unstable, half of Skyrim has broken away. They will forget about Skyrim and rebuild themselves. The Thalmor benefit from war, they do not benefit from either side winning. So choosing a side will not change much
Why does this choice matter when you are a god character that historically conquers the continent every time you show up
Because the Prisoner vanishes after his doom driven quest is done.
Fair points
You do realize they will retcon the entire lore in next elder scrolls to make girl bosses the creators of everything and the strongest heroes
Last guy became a fucking deadric prince
The Redguards can resist despite the empire demanding that they suck knife ear dick
But Skyrim and the empire would be helpless because uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Cyrodiil wouldn't prevent Skyrim from helping
They absolutely would because they're literally addicted to getting ass raped by demon worshippers.
Yep, basically the Ukraine war
Who looks, acts and thinks just as the 'original'.
The hero of Kvatch vanished from history after having done his task and Sheo stayed She.
As a child I picked the imperials because the stormcloaks seemed to be barbarians and a common law seemed to be good for the land. As I got older, I sided with the stormcloaks because no good is better than being your own master. It's not about how good the rule is, it's about it being your own.
It was true then, and it’s true now.
Skyrim belongs to the Nords.
Delusional if you think Gaythesda will give up their cash cow. Hell they made the starfield guy a Starborn with shout powers lmao
Choosing either side is retarded given you are a pretty much a demigod that both should be pledging loyalty to from jump. In them not doing this they are revealing that they are both compromised and must either reform or be destroyed.
Fair, but we already know Ulfric's rule would be fantastic. Ulfric purposely selected a steward who is not a boot-licker, not particularly attached to the cause or anything, just a man of the people, to tell him what the people truly think about things. Whereas Balgruuf is an insane manchild who goes on incoherent rants against everyone in his courts at the slightest disagreement, Ulfric specifically picked Jorleif out because he can tell him the truth and debate. The commoners don't have to make themselves heard to Ulfric, Ulfric is already listening to them as best he can, that is a level of wisdom almost unheard of in Skyrim and certainly not one Tullius achieves, considering half of Rikke's job is preventing mutinies against his retarded imperialistic uber-racist ass.
This "basic bitch" choice reflects reality the most realistically
No, I meant canonically in universe the protag always fucks off after his main reason foe existence was done.
So he won't stay around for the next war and the future for Skyrim no matter what side he picks.
The funny part to add to this is, I know friends with jihadi adjacent beliefs.
They immediately recognized the similarity and loved Ulfric and sometimes got really into it.
This. That's why I despise the nooootral muh gray crowd. Sometimes there are simply good and bad choices, and if one side is 1% bad and the other 99% bad, that doesn't mean they're "both equally gray and nuanced so every opinion is le wholesome heckin valid".
Stormloaks are good, imperials are evil little cunts. One side hires professional torturers, the other doesn't.
I always found that to be extremely retarded but here it’s especially so given that you’re not some random dipshit but a literal Dragonborn. Like even the Nerevarine has some ambiguity to him but here it’s just blatant. That’s not the kind of shit you can just say “oh and he walked off into the sunset” people are going to flip over the idea that there is another Dragonborn and most likely want him to be emperor or something.
The Dragonborn can literally defeat the Thalmor single handedly, retard.
Be a simple Jarl
Conquer half the country diplomatically against an Empire due to the justice of your cause, the only ones who refuse to join you are all provably corrupt degenerates, the Empire has to use widespread terrorism, judenpresse and depose legitimate rulers like the Jarl of Falkreath (to replace him with a Thalmor plant who has his own citizens murdered by bandits), all to contain you for the time being
This is somehow not impressive
exactly
sorry prisoner but we have to kill you despite not being on our list, instead of letting you go (because youre not on the list)
Low IQ test and you failed.
one captain goes agaisnt protocol
entire empire most die
leader is literal and explicitly elf asset trying to weaken humanity
Its okay, I jerk off to viking imagery
That's only if you give Ulfric a chance though. Truth be told, the propaganda when you aren't trying to side with him is pretty damn strong against him. To understand any of this you have to actually meet the man. Also, my older stances used to be that commoners were never worth hearing from in the first place because they simply can't govern themselves so something which removes the people from adjudication appeared to be more noble and align with ideals. It takes age to see that people are always fallible, that their personal interests and passions cause inevitable abuse of positions and that authority isn't justice. You like to believe that since you are a reasonable person, that those in esteemed positions must be reasonable too in order to get there when it can't be further from the truth. The more reasonable you are, the more vilified you're portrayed by the powers that be. But some things only experience can teach you.
practically at every opportunity proclaims that Great War 2 is coming around very shortly.
"2 MORE WEEKS! TWO MOAR WEEEAAAKKKKS!!!!"
Hammerfell is an irrelevancy on the edge of the world and they fucking crushed the Thalmor.
Also, there is no such thing as pretending to be conquered. If someone can move troops throughout your lands and openly attack your civilians without even bothering to deny it, they own you.
If someone tells you what religion you can have, they own you down to the fucking bedrock.
Based
Dagoth Ur was literally going to blend everyone into homogenous gay cancer Tikkun Olam style.
I supported Imperials because Martin Septim didn't sacrifice himself so the Empire could die at the hands of Nords and Elves. In my headcanon the Dragonborn leads the Imperials to victory in the 2nd great war.
imperial soldiers in Hanmerfell defected.
They defected because the order was to stand down while the Thalmor were brutalizing the Redguards. Imperial "defectors" picked up arms to help kick the Thalmor out of Hammerfell
The Nords aren't even the ancestral owners of the land. They moved in and massacred the native population (Snow elves) after they likely destroyed their own land. They won Skyrim in conquest and then lost it in conquest too. Imperials are restoring order to tribes of barbaric retarded snowmonkies and the Altjews are stirring up shit to make humans kill each other and weaken them so that they can be more easily conquered.
It is basically a choice of Globohomo Human rule now or turboracist Elven rule later. It is lose-lose for the Nords but they are too stupid to realize it
shouldnt have tried to kill me, simple as
at that moment, i choose the side not trying to kill me
Truth be told, the propaganda when you aren't trying to side with him is pretty damn strong against him.
Sure, but that's the thing we as a player can easily escape, the fact that most simply repeat garbage imperial lies and never bother to verify any of them (funny considering they're the SOURCE FACT CHECK DEBOONK crow) shows how pathetic they are.
Just interacting with Ulfric, we see that he's genuinely not interested in power other than as a tool to serve Skyrim, not war-hungry, not violent, not angered for nothing, and extremely good at diplomacy which even Falk Firebeard recognizes and calls him a genius for if he wins. Ulfric is genuinely a perfect leader, there is no nuance there, he doesn't have a single leadership flaw. Meanwhile Tullius and Balgruuf who every single normie faggot worship are insane whining sociopaths who spend all their time shitting themselves and screeching at their underlings.
Oblivion is so much better than skyshit and Kirkbride's gay fever dream it's kind of shocking going back to it.
Kirkbride was the same kind of gay cultural vandal that sneaks into every IP to destroy it down to the roots, but Oblivion successfully made peace between Morrowind and Daggerfall/Arena. Literally miraculous.
Sorry Michael, you have to take out the part about the cool elf killer knight being gay, oh, and we're making him Christian btw.
The dossier says that they don't even know if they can control him at this point. People keep saying he's a puppet didn't read the damn thing.
You may be right, I hadn't thought about it like that.
The Thalmor will just win forever because... BECAUSE THEY WILL OK?!?
sorry fag, a single independent white male human hero will personally bring their entire societ to its knees and destroy a big crystal that powers their war efforts.
Literally repeating falmer propaganda, kek
The Nords settled in Skyrim in peace, it's the Falmer who tried to kill all of them in their sleep, a small number of Nords escaped the genocide and came back later for revenge, that's entirely the Falmer's fault.
He sacrificed himself to stop the Oblivion Gates, not to satisfy a bunch of obese degenerate nobles under illegitimate dynasties.
Yep. Hammerfell has few natural defenses and is right in front of Summerset Isles, and they still crushed the elves. Skyrim is an impenetrable fortress in comparison.
Bards College is far worse
The empire died the instant it let the elves dictate its religion. It was after that moment no longer an empire, but an organ of the Thalmor empire.
The Dragonborn can literally solo the entire Thalmor and call upon Dragons and the favors of Daedric overlords to defeat the Thalmor btw.
Other way around too. The elves were forced to worship the man that conquered them with an elven superweapon.
Stormcloaks backed by a godlike dragonborn rape the elfjews after they win the civil war is the true ending and you can't prove otherwise
The Empire has become too decadent by the time of the events of Skyrim. It lost the Great War, didn't help the Dunmer during the Red Year (which led to Morrowind seceding from the Empire), didn't defend Hammerfell when the Aldemri Dominion invaded it, lost the divine right to rule with the end of the Septim Dynasty and its dragonborn lineage, lets Thalmor agents hunt and abduct its citizens, etc.
I actually hate Nords and their retarded accents and braindead decisions and horrifically ugly faces and shitty architecture and I'd still help them over the cuckpire any day any time.
kek, underrated
canonically in universe
....the dragonborn always fucks shit up. Tiber Septim couldnt even shout and he fucked shit up pretty hard. Pelinal just flat out deleted entire swaths of the continent like some lotr shit. TLD casually shit stomps alduin who can MAKE deadric princes. It will be infinetly more kino if he decides to vampire himself and becomes the immortal god king of nirn where the entire realm becomes decadent because the ancient king refuses to let it die and even the princes are going mad from being long over due for the kappa reset. The next protaganist has to navigate this decaying world and fight his legions of long dead companions turned into thralls and put an end to the immortal god king. But bethesda will never write something as kino, best we will get is black and gay abominations.
I don't know if I should feel some kind of bittersweet nostalgia but man war never changes does it
Thanks pretty kino.
Daedric Lord of change and revolution
changes Tamriel forever after his invasion and causes the fall of the Septims
He won
I just killed Tullius, Ulfric and wiped out the entire Thalmor embassy, then played Dawnguard like a real man.
Yeah, Oblivion was pretty good
I started it up again a few weeks ago and just spent ten hours sneaking into places, picking locks, and robbing businesses in the game
The hero of Oblivion became Sheogorrath and helps the Dragonborn directly.
He's also the real reason the other Daedra haven't tried shit for hundreds of years, and considering he's also the inheritor of Pelinal and was CONSTANTLY fucking with elves even in his mortal life the future of the Thalmor is metaphysically bleak.
only the strong should lead, and neither side was strong enough to defeat the other without my help, so i slaughtered them all and made myself king.
Fuck off Hamelyn.
Kirkbride never saw him or the thalmor as a bad guy even though he wanted to make them even more psychotic and evil, he's obsessed with the idea of commie uprising and literal castration, and he draws parralels to these fictional conflicts and his relationship with the other writers, particularly Todd, but in person he always rolls on his belly and submits, which should tell you all you need to know.
NEW THREAD
Skyrim is for the NORDS!
It's so cringe to see all the "look at ME, I will rule everything because I am so important, fuck the setting, what the hell is a Skyrim, I just want to rule shit and fuck whores cause I got all the power my nigga".
muh alduin wank
Muh kalpa
Remove Kirkbride's influence from your inner world like a fucking cancer.
That was then, this is now. Destroying an enemy in the past doesn't wipe away the fact you were destroyed later.
Imperials = tried to cut off my head.
Stormcloaks = didn't try to cut off my head.
I usually try to avoid getting political, but I feel no shame whatsoever in saying that I am pro having my head and anti not having my head.
black and gay abominations
For those that don't know, TES VI is already confirmed to take place in Hammerfell and everyone is a Redguard. Skyrim will remain the best game every made.
> Cucked barbarians from the north whose leader is a literal (((Thalmor))) asset
I picked Stormcloaks, sidequestmaxxed for 60 hours, looted all Dwarven kingdoms with infinite carry capacity hack, maxxed out all my skills and weapons, just murdered all Thalmors the first chance I got in the main quest and stopped playing after that.
What does that make me, Imperial?
The dragonborn is... somewhat relevant here
Paarthurnax was right, way of the voice is the true path
Thalmor slide thread.
What's funny is Michael K talks about Todd like he's Satan endlessly torturing his asshole and Todd talks about Kirkbride like he's an old friend he's trying to save from suicide.
Behind the scenes there's all these stories of Kirkbride having nervous breakdowns and Todd trying to gently coax him back to reality. When Kirkbride's office got flooded he was like catatonic for three days and was incoherently accusing Todd of having destroyed the land of Lyg, a fictional world while the guy tried to calm him down. He then wrote a novela length script about how Lyg was a land tormented by (a demon that's obviously Todd) until they bravely castrated him in his sleep, only to be unfairly and cruelly killed by a flood.
doesnt the Dragonborn become a puppet of the tentacle-Deadra at the end of the second dlc?
this would heavily nerf his existence and influence in the universe
dunmer dragonborn
don't give a shit about dragons etc
exclusively use the power of the voice to shout racial slurs
if you're doing it any other way you're doing it wrong
Negotiations begin at greybeard palace
Ulfric immediately demands the jew be thrown out
"But he's a thalmor asset!"
Stfu retard
You're an idiot
Watch a bitch sperg out at how people pay attention to her and want to help her understand things better
Do normies really?
Skyrim will remain the best game every made.
Nope
We're taking out all the gay people
And we're making the spiky cat penis scene non canon
And the abortion plotline
Also all the bad guys are elves
Commie atheist revolutionaries work for Satan
Traditional cathedral builder religions are objectively true and good
Racism is almost always correct and people who cry about it are usually trying to trick you
No, the economy does not revolve around bug eggs
Oh, one last thing, all the Tolkien and DND references are going back in
The Aldmeri Dominion is the only rational choice
Legacy of Dragonborn: Serana Reaver 2
Daedra always say they're in control of everything who gives a shit what he says, Dova is watched over by Sheo, who the other Daedra are all canonically fucking terrified of.
Ooh, yikes, it's really awesome how you saved me from an eternity of rape and slavery but like, I'm just trying to find myself y'know? I really just don't think like, a relationship is a good idea, I mean I really like you, just not that way y'know?
This bitch is going back in the fucking coffin.
lol
So just make it Fromsloppa?
