    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    And what changed, exactly? 'The long list of demands included staggering tributes, disbandment of the Blades, outlawing the worship of Talos, and ceding large sections of Hammerfell to the Dominion.' - The Great War 'Critics have pointed out that the Concordat is almost identical to the...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    You're arguing semantics. The Empire accepted the same terms the Dominion offered at the start of the war. They agreed to pay tribute to the Thalmor and follow the Dominion's official religious doctrine. That's called a surrender any way you look at it. And war is about sacrifice. 'Most of...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    And....what happened as a result of signing the White-Gold Concordat? Civil War. Hammerfell refused to accept the terms of the treaty and the Empire abandoned them to the Thalmor. Then, only a few years later infighting broke out in Skyrim. Signing the treaty was always going to end in civil war...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    And what does it matter? Titus Mede II started the war despite not knowing just how powerful the Dominion had become, against the advice of his generals who told him they were outclassed. Instead of taking the coward's way out and surrendering, he went against the odds and fought. He faced the...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    No, surrendering when he had just dealt a crippling blow to the Dominion and agreeing to the very treaty that started the war in the first is place is what makes him a coward. If the Empire had continued to fight, the Dominion would have been forced to back down entirely. Hammerfell proved that...

    does anyone else think mages are OP ?

    Huh, you're right. I never realized magic bypassed armor, since I've always used enchantments. Even after all this time, I still learn little things about this game.

    does anyone else think mages are OP ?

    They are powerful, but it really depends on your build. I'd focus more on Smithing and getting better armor. With my last warrior character, I maxed out Smithing around level 35 and used Dragonscale Armor with Dragonbone weapons. Mages and other mid-to-long range enemies didn't give me nearly as...

    Xbox 360 That's a new one...

    That was my first thought, but usually when one of my followers get knocked out of the park, they land somewhat nearby. But I didn't see any giant camps in the area. It could have been a stray I suppose, as I've seen some wandering pretty far away before. it also could've been a dragon.

    Why does everyone hate the Thalmor?

    Well, I'd agree that there are good arguments for both sides, I just don't think that the 'Stormcloaks are racist elf haters' bit is one of them. But this is getting way off topic. http://theskyrimblog.ning.com/group/lore/forum/topics/altmer-part-5-piecing-together-the-thalmor This is an...

    Xbox 360 That's a new one...

    Well, something interesting happened to me the other day. I was traveling to Winterhold on College business when out of nowhere, a dead horse fell from the sky and landed right in front of me. I have no idea how that happened.

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    The Stormcloaks would support the Priests. As for the Empire, who knows? They'd probably just ask the Thalmor what they thought about the issue.

    Why does everyone hate the Thalmor?

    Well, I play Skyrim on console so I couldn't really take screen shots anyways. As for Ralof, he might have offered because you helped him, but there are also plenty of random encounters with Stormcloak soldiers who suggest you should join their cause. This is backed up when you speak to Galmar...

    Why does everyone hate the Thalmor?

    I wouldn't say the Stormcloaks are racist. While there are certainly a few racists who believe in Ulfric's cause, that doesn't taint the entire organization. The Stormcloaks willingly accept non-Nords into their ranks, including elves and beastfolk. I've seen Dunmer, Altmer, and even an Argonian...

    Xbox 360 Odds of finding dragonbone/scale?

    Dragonbone and Dragonscale armor only start appearing as random loot around level 50, at least in my experience. And given how the other armor sets work, they probably won't appear in shops until at least level 60 or 70 if I had to guess. I've never really looked for them though as I usually...

    Why does everyone hate the Thalmor?

    The idea that the Grey Quarter is a 'tiny slum' or that the Dunmer are actually confined there is debatable, but that would take this thread waaaay off topic.

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Well, I think most characters would be wary of the possibility of Thalmor rule over Tamriel, and the outcome of the Stormcloak Rebellion will decide how the threat is faced. So unless your Breton is totally unperturbed by the possibility of a Thalmor victory or has faith in the Empire's ability...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    My non-Nordic characters typically join up with the Stormcloaks for purely practical reasons. Cyrodiil is weak; When they had utterly destroyed the Dominion forces in their territory, they sued for peace rather than continue to fight. Not because they couldn't win, but because if the war...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Really now? We couldn't understand it? That's the best you can do? I'll make it simple for you. Provide us with a single piece of lore that shows Ulfric had the manpower and resources at the time of the Markarth Incident to take the fight to the Aldmeri Dominion in Hammerfell. Problem is, it...
