Well thank you Docta Corvina for the reply, It was what I was looking for in a reply. I too will support the Legion/Imperials now, I just feel like the legion has a better overall attitude toward all the races and after reading your post and several others I feel like if I joined the Stormcloaks it would only have been in revenge for the Imperials/Legions from trying to cut my head off, but after hearing Ulfric and how he only backs the Nords that get attacked I just can't see myself helping a selfish/racist leader like that. So again thanks a ton Docta Corvina for the helpful information and I hope some kind of expansion or DLC or anything will further the storyline of the war.
I'm very glad I could help! I by no means wished to suggest, by the way, that I have any idea of a real timeline of future events or to suggest that I think any sort of AD/Empire warfare is necessarily due to occur tomorrow or even in a decade. Dagmar makes some good points in that regard. While I personally think there is a larger showdown to be had, the time and date of such a thing is presently unclear.
I rather just wanted to highlight attitudes of prominent Legionnaires regarding the current events and the Dominion at large - I've always found it an unfair assumption and charge that those fighting on behalf of the Empire are collectively willing and enthusiastic cheerleaders for the Dominion. As these quotes from casual conversation and quests like "Season Unending" demonstrate, that couldn't be further from the truth.
As we've pointed out in this thread time and again, both sides have their relatively "good" and "bad" aspects. Beth did write the civil war to be able to tear you in two directions. That much is clear right from the opening scene. It was brilliantly done, in my opinion.
