Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Vibe]

And this is the last thing that Skyrim is missing, ability to take over/control towns.

[B3RS3RK]

Yeah and big battles.As far as I know.

Anybody completed the Imperials/Stormcloak questrow yet?Are there any big battles in it(Like at least 20vs20?))

[Fraemi]

Battles are nothing to really write home about, though fairly entertaining.
It's continuous waves of about anything between 10-20 on each side, that's a wild guess.

[B3RS3RK]

Sounds good.

[Fluffy_Muffin]

They are traitors and oppressors! Skyrim belongs to the Nords! Freedom for Skyrim, Ulfric is our king!

Isnt Ulfric just a pawn of the Aldmeri dominion?

[Fraemi]

Ulfric is very likely to be a pawn of the Thalmor and anyone who sides with Ulfric in the first place just eases up the way for the Alderi Dominion to reinstate basically the mythic era relations between men and mer (elves) - slavery and possibly extermination.

tbh I think that people who side with Ulfric pay no attention to the information given in game and in books and just think it's a story of an evil oppressive empire and the good guys (FREEEDURRRRP).

[Xant]

No, wrong. Ulfric is no pawn, although the Aldmeri consider him an asset because civil war benefits them. However, after they're done liberating Skyrim, they'll take on the Aldmeri next. And they consider Aldmeri their main enemy and the Empire just as the Aldmeri puppet.

Soo...

[LordBerenger]

Imma side with the Imperial Reich!

Anyhow...just got it and i'm Level 3 Marksman.

AND I KILLED MY FIRST GIANT!


Only took 50 Iron Arrows, 10 Steel Arrows and a couple Flame and electric beginner spells at it.

Good thing i had light armor. It's like being fucking chased by a dinosaur.

Yeh the biggest catalyst for the rebellion was the White-Gold peace aggrement or whatever its called, where the elves imposed a ban on the worship of Talos in the Empire. So they hate the elves's guts. Although it does benefit the elves overall, classic divide and conquer strategy. They more or less came to a draw in the Great War, they didn't conquer the Empire but they defeated it. The peace agreement had the seeds of civil war sown inside of it, typically slimy elven foreplanning. An Empire without Skyrim and Skyrim without the Empire are weaker opponents than if they were united, and can easily be played against each other (I can't help but read every book I find in the game ). Still, fuck the Empire, FREEDOM!

[Fluffy_Muffin]

So he is not a pawn, just dumb. He wants to liberate Skyrim weakening the empire and then fight the Aldmeri dominion? Considering what the Aldmers did to the  Empire legions how does he hope to win with Skyrim alone?

By shouting them appart, if you believe all these guards.

[Fraemi]

Ulfric wouldn't nearly have enough manpower or any influence to face the dominion by "skyrim" alone, especially when he would still be seen as a traitor by many since his claim to being high-king is far from strong.
Ulfric also happens to be arrogant, extremely racist and narrowminded AND betrayed the monks at high hrothgar (sp).
When you first visit the palace where he speaks to his bodyguard it essentially embodies most followers of him who only see the short term future. Ulfric bases his claim on the previous king being "weak" and the worship of Talos being banned. The worship of Talos is essentially banned due to the lost war and since Talos was the founder of the septim line, it's fairly safe to assume that worship of Talos would be reinstated by Empire following a victorious engagement with the dominion.

Also I just got to a point in one mission where ulfric is basically confirmed by thalmor themselves to not be an agent of theirs, so yeah I withdraw that statement.

It's still pretty damn obvious that splitting the rest of tamriel into fractured factions and leaders would do nothing but be a boon to the dominion in the long run.

[Tears of Destiny]

This must be a good storyline if there is conflicting opinions about Ulfric not only in game but also with players!

This dossier from the mission I assume? (spoiler warning)

(click to show/hide)

Status: Asset (uncooperative), Dormant, Emissary Level Approval
Description: Jarl of Windhelm, leader of Stormcloak rebellion, Imperial Legion veteran
Background: Ulfric first came to our attention during the First War Against the Empire, when he was taken as a prisoner of war during the campaign for the White-Gold Tower. Under interrogation, we learned of his potential value (son of the Jarl of Windhelm) and he was assigned as an asset to the interrogator, who is now First Emissary Elenwen. He was made to believe information obtained during his interrogation was crucial in the capture of the Imperial City (the city had in fact fallen before he had broken), and then allowed to escape. After the war, contact was established and he has proven his worth as an asset.The so-called Markarth Incident was particularly valuable from the point of view of our strategic goals in Skyrim, although it resulted in Ulfric becoming generally uncooperative to direct contact.
Operational Notes: Direct contact remains a possibility (under extreme circumstances), but in general the asset should be considered dormant. As long as the civil war proceeds in its current indecisive fashion, we should remain hands-off. The incident at Helgen is an example where an exception had to be made - obviously Ulfric's death would have dramatically increased the chance of an Imperial victory and thus harmed our overall position in Skyrim. (NOTE: The coincidental intervention of the dragon at Helgen is still under scrutiny. The obvious conclusion is that whoever is behind the dragons also has an interest in the continuation of the war, but we should not assume therefore that their goals align with our own.) A Stormcloak victory is also to be avoided, however, so even indirect aid to the Stormcloaks must be carefully managed.
