Are you sure? Are you really, really, really, really sure? Have you read all the dossiers? Did you read everything that was in Elenwyn's Solar and torture area? It is really very enlightening.If you hate the thalmor then I would choose the imperials. Thalmor want the storm cloaks to win so the empire will be weakened.
Another plus is that Solitude doesn't get trashed. That's always a plus to me. Whiterun trashed? Meh... No big deal.I don't have enough time to elaborate on why, but I always go Imperial. Go Imperial. For sure.
Can't really blame 'em. It's not like the "human's" have actually done anything positive in their millenniums of being there.Well it's not just the loss of land and soldiers that's the problem. It's the thalmors intentions of being in Skyrim. If you remember the history of the past 200 years since the events of Oblivion you will know the terms of the White-Gold Concordat wasn’t just about stamping out Talos worship it also gave a big half of Southern Hammerfell to the Thalmor. We know the Thalmor were eventually driven out of Hammerfell, but thanks to the Concordat Hammerfell’s relations with Cyrodiil are pretty pl***ty which the thalmor are happy about. Similarly, if the Stormcloaks win the war, it will become an independent state less willing to cooperate with the Imperials, even if they plan on fighting the Thalmor. This division is exactly what the Thalmor are trying to accomplish. divide and conquer. Since the Thalmor are bent on controlling all Tamriel, it means they are pretty much everyone else’s enemy. Having everyone with their own opinion as to how to fight the Aldmeri Dominion will be much less effective than everyone working together to defeat them. And do remember that they don't want to just control all of Tamriel. Put very, very simply, they want to undo the creation of all of Mundus so that they can return to their original state as et'Ada.
Actually if you read the dossiers it shows that the Thalmor does not want the Stormcloaks to win. It says that they do not want the Imperials to win but a Stormcloak win is also not wanted. So the Thalmor really wants the civil war to spread out as long as possible to weaken both sides so that it's easier to take over. This is my take on what I've read and seen in the game.If you hate the thalmor then I would choose the imperials. Thalmor want the storm cloaks to win so the empire will be weakened.

That is true. When you read the documents in Diplomatic Immunity in the Thalmor Embassy they never state that they want either to win, but it does show they favor Ulfric and his rebellion.
Excuse me while I go rest on my laurels for a moment. I do so love a little validation!Actually if you read the dossiers it shows that the Thalmor does not want the Stormcloaks to win.

I really didn't get that from reading them at all. I agree with Rhew.Actually if you read the dossiers it shows that the Thalmor does not want the Stormcloaks to win.
