(I tagged with spoilers because we have no idea what we might say in this thread. So, POTENTIAL SPOILERS.)
I tried to see if a thread was already here, but didn't find anything.
This faction war feels different from faction wars in other video games, doesn't it? When I first saw this, I was thinking "Oh man, Bethesda is throwing in THAT element of fantasy/war gaming." But I believe they pulled it off quite well. I definitely didn't see this war coming, then again... we missed two hundred years of history within Tamriel since Martin made his sacrifice...
But I digress, how does the Forum feel about The War in Skyrim?
Do you side with The Stormcloaks? Fed up with Imperial passiveness since The Great War? Not to fond of the Thalmor? Do you feel like Skyrim is losing what makes itself Skyrim? Obviously many are upset about the ban of Talos worship. Do you see it as Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak of Windhelm, a revolutionary who was simply following the natural laws that Skyrim was founded on? When he bested High King Torryg in a FORMAL duel for the right to rule?
Or do you feel with The Empire, only wishing peace once more, and to maintain it with The High Elves? That Ulfric Stormcloak is a traitor to both Skyrim and the Empire by murdering The High King through way of the voice, nearly shouting him to bits? Or do you simply feel that Tiber Septim, The baddest Nord in history, Talos himself, would forsake his Godhood among the mortal worship so that the Empire could remain?
I know this is all a bit much to swallow, so feel free to pick a single topic about ANYTHING in the political climate, and discuss, try to keep it clean (and by clean I mean organized)
