Credit where credit is due, tho: I gotta give Bethesda some props for making choosing sides in Skyrim a legitimately tough decision, especially since learning more about the roots of the conflict and the overall political situation of Tamriel made things harder rather than easier.
"Well, the Empire kind of sucks. Kind of a lot. I like Talos. He helps me Shout 20% more often! I also don't like people pulled from their homes by the elves and tortured for worshiping him. Plus, Tullius tried to murder me. So maybe I should support Ulfric... who is a howling bigot and slaughtered a bunch of Reachmen not too long ago and killed Torygg for no damn good reason, which doesn't really indicate he'll be a sober, reasonable High King. Hmm. Still, though, it's better than the Empire... only, aren't the Aldmeri basically just waiting for another chance to crush them? If Skyrim secedes they'll have that much of an easier time of it, and it's hard to fault Titus Mede for doing what he had to to make peace after an apocalyptic war. Maybe we all need to hang together rather than hanging separately.
"Only, that peace basically involved shitting all over Skyrim and Hammerfell. But Skyrim can't take the Dominion by itself... oh, hmm. Hammerfell seceded from the Empire and kicked the Dominion's ass all by themselves. We're at least as badass as they are... right?
"Shit. I'm gonna need more mead."
