I tried both parties, and I think both are equally bad or at least morally grey in their own way. Right now my neighbor is playing Skyrim for the first time and I'm curious about what she will choose. We've had completely different thoughts about the Thieves' Guild, for example. I was expecting her to like it (because I liked it a lot) because she was excited when I told her about them, but right now she hates it and complains about their quests all the time.
I can somewhat emphasize with this as I liked Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood better from Oblivion, where I felt that quests for each of these factions were better made for them. For example, Thieves Guild in Skyrim is more like, "the mob" or "mafia" rather than a legitimate Thieves Guild. Dark Brotherhood was alright I guess however I think the tie in with the Empire was too strong and it felt more like I was playing as a hired gun rather than as an assassin/cultist. If that makes any sense.
I will agree somewhat, but I also wish there was more. We have some treasures with the TG, but what if there was a Treasure Hunter's Guild or something like that? And I am not talking about mods.
