Off Topic Discussion Megathread

I'd be more interested to side with the Stormcloacks if they showed more of that Nord religion that is pretty much entirely absent from Skyrim for some reason, whatever happened to the Nordic pantheon?

May I interest you all in the teachings of Veloth and the good Daedra? Also, Skyrim does indeed belong to the Nords.

If they can teach me why their hearts taste so good, then sure...

*Removes my napkin tucker in collar to reveal Ulfric's garments* What? I like wearing this as a dinner outfit.

I personally believe FFXIV has a distinct lack of being able to yell enemies off of mountains. How do we fix this?

You can get sort of close... the zone has to be right, but you can sneeze monsters off mesas... with BLU!

You ever have a large reply, and then you just fat finger a key somewhere and the whole thing disappears? That just happened, and I don't think I have the will to rewrite it. I bumped my mouse when I was moving my hand to use it, and the whole page went back.

Anyway, I was just saying that EW really is at the point where it's too close, and too far at the same time. It was sort of thought out (from my point of view), but I'm not rewriting that. Oh well.

I find it hard to side with Ulfric in every single one of my playthroughs, so I go to the Imperials to help reclaim Skyrim. For the nords, of course. Just not every nord. Especially not that Ulfric guy.

It's not necessarily that I like Ulfric, it's more I prefer the idea of self governance and not being shackled to a foreign,dying regime. Throw in roaming secret police of another foreign power, and the fact that they tried to execute the player character without charge makes the choice for me.

That happens to me way more than it should.

The thing is, is that the Empire is actually against the Thalmor. They just don't have enough power yet to stand up and fight them. Ulfric is an opportunist trying to seize power over Skyrim, and had already lost if not for Alduin interrupting the execution because of the Dragonborn.

Basically, siding with Ulfric is condemning Skyrim to independent rule by someone who has already proven they can't even take on one legion of the Empire without you. They will never stand a chance against the Thalmor.

Also, the decision to execute the player was commanded by an individual. While other leaders were there, they weren't concerned with justice for individuals at the time, since executing Ulfric takes precedence. I don't really have any great love for Tulius, but his second in command kind of makes up for it. Do wish I coulda killed the lady that orders my execution in the tutorial. Woulda been nice!

Siding with the Empire is also a move that keeps it unified. To splinter it by trying to command Skyrim to be independent just means the Aldmeri Dominion get even more power over Tamriel.

Sometimes when I get really heated I write up entire word doc paragraphs and then delete them on purpose. But then when I'm happy and whatnot all my messages get deleted on accident. Can never get what I wanna say out either way lmao.

Less than a month! You got this! Wanna farm Rival Wings with me in the meantime?
