THE TRUE HIGH KING
>>
>>318277215
As King, he knew it was his duty to invade other lands and suppress the filthy non-Nord races, conquering all of Tamriel and uniting them under one flag. Then he decided that hanging out with dragons would be cooler.

>>318277215
He was probably trying to Contact Thalmor

This. And even worse, you later do quests for that slut who sent you to have your head chopped off. Stormcloacks are fags, but atleast they didn't try to kill me.

After reading about the war between the empire and the thalmor I find it hard not to side with them.

>Capture the leader of the rebels.
>N-NO IM PROMISE I JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN THE SAME AREA AS HIM AT THE SAME TIME AS HIM. IT WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE

Anyway, the real issue is that the Imperial cowards decided to hastily execute everyone instead of taking them back to Cyrodil to stand trial. Also, in a massive act of stupidity, the general doesn't have Ulfric executed first for some reason
>>
>>318277565

I think that was the whole point to try and make you dislike them, since if you take away that they basically seem like the right side to choose with a better outcome overall making the Stormcloaks seem like shortsighted faggots

Because he was the only one that mattered, everyone else was just small time. There was half a nation of nords out there who were willing to die for him. Ulfric himself was capable of using the voice and you live in a world full of demons and wizards. AND Ulfric had ties to the Thalmore.

He flaunts how he is a horrific tactician for not prioritizing Ulfric, He had to know some shit was going to go down

every normalfag who put in 5 hours, then quit, tries to tell me the Thalmor are the Nazis.

Stormcloaks: angry about how their home country conceded power after the great war. Hate other races, want racial purity, start taking over by force, put the dark jewlves in ghettos, and are very similar to the Nazis right before WW2 in this scenario.

That's why I choose stormcloaks so our pure Aryan blood would cleanse skyrim of the dirty jewlves. Skyrim is for the Nords. Heil Ulfric!

No that's fine. it doesn't tell me why I was coming to Skyirm. What's shit is always being the Dragonborn. If you play it on PC you owe it to yourself to not play it at all really but if you do get an Alternate Start mod. Not being the Dragonborn makes Skyrim just a buit better

It's 220 million people. Someone is bound to be racist. But racism is a minor issue in comparison to the rest of the world. Prejudice in Brazil is bound to social classes and not much about religion or origin. Brazil and Canada for example are the countries which received more Sirian refugees outside of Europe. They even give interviews and no one cares. People only feel sorry for them because it'll be though to live here because of the current economy.

>>318290821
On that regard, it is. Brazil is ahead in that department because all those mixing and immigration is a process of hundreds of years so it's pretty more chill regarding those mixing people over the world gets so triggered by. Mixed is the majority of the population.

This is why I hate Skyrim's intro sequence so much. Not only is it unnecessarily long and drawn out, it's also blatantly obvious after you play through the game for a bit that it was tacked on to give the game some forced anti-Imperial sentiment.

Anyone using even the tiniest bit of logical thinking while playing the game would side with the Empire, so they threw in this "lol the Empire tried to execute you" bullshit at the very beginning when the player doesn't have any context yet to get the impulsive people to side with the Stormcloaks.

Absolutely incorrect. Go read up on social contract theory.

Wait what the fuck?
>>
>>318300443
He doesn't. It's just a meme Imperikeks tell themselves.
>>
>>318300443
In the embassy you find a letter implying that he's a Thalmor puppet
>>
>>318278775
Because the Imperials were going to believe a bunch of rebels that someone they captured wasn't a rebel? I'm sure that would've went over well.
>>
>>318300443
he's called "an asset" in thalmor documents in the embassy
>>
>>318300919
They want Ulfric to keep the Empire weak but they don't want him to actually win either. They basically just want the war to drag out as long as possible.

If the government had its way, it wouldn't have funded my surgery and I'd be dead. Its hard to feel thankful when you had to spend time arguing why you should be allowed to live.
>>
>>318280468
where are the proofs
>>
I wish the Nords weren't so involved in TES' lore. It's fucking impossible to discuss the subject anymore with all the /pol/ crossboarders injecting real life politics into the subject.

Anyone who knows the first thing about Skyrim knows that Ulfric is a traitor to Nords, and man kind in general. The high king was his biggest fanboy, and would have gone to war with the Empire if Ulfric so much as hinted it. He just wanted power, and that's exactly why he challenged a little boy who wasn't willing to fight against his idol, and even used thu'um against him. The challenge in general was more of an assassination job since he refused to do it in front of any sort of audience that wasn't loyal to him. Not even gonna touch on the subject of him being a Thalmor plant, since that's common knowledge.

Fact is, the best case scenario of a stormcloak victory is a force equal to the CURRENT post war Empire, lead by a corrupt politician. Whereas an Empire victory, would result in a much more formidable force, lead by the only competent Nord Jarl, Balgruuf.
>>
>>318277215
The actual line is
>You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."

They weren't trying to cross the border, everyone just got caught in the same ambush.
>>
>>318300596
>>318300919
Haha no, all that said was that he gave info under torture. Literally in the next sentence they say they have to keep eyes on him because he WASN'T doing what they wanted. They explicitly state how Stormcloacks winning is far from desirable. Get fucked.
>>
>>318301351
Balgruuf wouldn't have been High King. That would've went to Elisif who would likely be the one to lead any charges. Ulfric is corrupt and power hungry but also isn't a Thalmor plant. The Thalmor just liked the idea of him causing issues for the Empire but doesn't want him to win the war any more than they want the Empire to win. They just let him escape and start a rebellion so they could take advantage of the situation.
>>
>30 minute unskippable intro

Why is this ok
>>
>>318278775
I don't understand how you can support the Empire when the Thalmor don't want the Stormcloaks getting too strong. If the Stormcloaks win, it's over for the Thalmor.
>>
Did I miss something? Why does everyone hate the Thalmor?

They seem like smart niggaz to me...
>>
>>318302125
Please, Elisif will be little more than a figure head. Not to mention, a moot wasn't called to declare the next king yet. Balgruuf is almost definitely the man for the job, but he's also guaranteed to decline. The most important thing is having Skyrim in the hands of some one who isn't interested in preserving his political power. There's no way in hell Ulfric would get involved in any way if a war breaks out afterwards, unless the Thalmor bring the fight to him, which by then means it's too late. There's simply no scenario where a storm cloak victory is feasible.

>>318302645
Before you involve, or embarrass yourself any further, you should know that the full might of Skyrim doesn't make up even 1/3 of the Empire's might, and said Empire lost to the Aldmeri Dominion. Granted it's mostly thanks to the Obivion Crisis, and the Empire being leaderless, but still.
>>
>>318303020
Dude the Empire is dead and gone. Skyrim can fend for themselves just fine, praise Shor.
>>
>>318277215
They where not trying to cross, see >>318301748
>>
>>318302228
Just install a mod that skips it
>>
>>318294160
That's kind of the point. You start thinking that stormcloaks are in the right but find out as you progress in the game that they're total faggots.
>>
>>318286987
Nigga, people are the root of all conflict. It doesn't have to be violent conflict, but even in a utopia, there will always at least be some guy that someone else disagrees with, which is by definition a conflict.

It isn't like any of the intros necessarily depict the Empire in a good light. Morrowind has you being their errand boy by force and Oblivion has you in prison and they use you as a bodyguard until they decide to ditch you.

I quit Skyrim after I perked sneaking to the point where I 30x sneak attacked one-shot a bone dragon in some underground cave and his bones went ragdoll all over the place.

Is it worth getting back into?

its necessary to show the bad parts of the empire
while the storm cloaks are trying to secede and take away resources and manpower from the empire and make it difficult for a united front against the aldemeri dominion
the empire is shown to be corrupt beyond the tolerable amount a nation can have before it becomes a problem and them killing the stormcloacks without trial shows how they aren't interested in maintaining rule of law

the thalmor want the civil war to go on so manpower and recourses are wasted fighting further weakening the empire and the nords the points but if ulfric wins the war quickly before wide scale death and destruction is dealt then he creates a powerbase to fight back against the thalmor
>>
>>318278775
Ulfric doesn't work for the Thalmor. It's amazing how you were able to live your entire life with such poor reading comprehension skills. He's an "asset". Look up the definition of an "asset" before you embarrass yourself even further.

You really don't understand Skyrim's lore. You're completely wrong about Ulfric and his intentions. He's also not a "Thalmor plant". Did you even read the Thalmor notes?

The graphics are amazing, man! Have you SEEN how good shit looks from very far away?

What do you mean there's nothing to discover, there's millions of retarded bullshit leveled items to get and generic enemies to kill!

You didn't like the combat? It's so exciting to repeatedly press the mouse buttons until things drop dead!

Can't wait for TES VI!
