best character to be high king

[ShadowMage]

Esilif. She and her husband came in peace to Skyrim, but Ulfric killed her husband after the Thalmor forced the Empire to surrender and put law on the Stormcloaks. It goes from best army strength to least: Thalmor- Empire=Stormcloaks. So the Empire or Stormcloaks can't do anything about the Thalmor. Ulfric is out of the way.

Laila Law-Giver shouldn't even be an option. I agree with whoever said she's dim. You know someone sucks when Maven Black-Briar starts looking appealing. Either way the Rift is screwed.

Anyway, I chose Balgruuf.

 

[Jaeger]

Definitely gotta be my man, Balgruuf. If his capable and commendable governance of Whiterun is any indication, he'd be excellent.

My favorite Jarl.

Cheap bastards more likey. 100 gold to take out giants. Pfft.

 

[Greatsword]

Definately Balgruuf. One reason is when Ulfric was captured by the Imperials outside Darkwater Crossing, he surrendered without a fight. BUT when several Stormcloaks ran into Dragonsreach in their attempt to capture Whiterun, Jarl Balgruuf stood there alongside Ireleth (spelling?) and fought til there was no hope left. He'd make a badass king.

 

[KC95]

Balgruuf. He's a true nord. He displays honor, strength, and competence.

Thanks to the divines that this is just a game, and not the real world.

It's amazing how many people would pick this Balgruuf since after all he slouches on his "Throne" all day and continue to let his children disrespect the Dragonborn. Yeah hes suitable for High King. He can't even control his kids... how can he control the entire country?

Are you really shocked a Jarl's kids are spoiled?

Whiterun, apart from Solitude, is probably the safest and most prosperous city in all of Skyrim. There are no real issues. Some crazy guy even worships Talos freely everyday at the town square. Look at the state of other cities like Markarth, Riften, and Windhelm. Whiterun could easily fall into corruption and despair, especially with its location and core as Skyrim's trade city. Many travelers pass by and everything remains fairly stable.

Sorry for not brown nosing Ulfric.

You do realize that Sal wrote that as a humor piece don't you?

 

[Ysarth the watcher]

Jarl Balgruuf

'when I was a little girl in France...'

Need I say more?

Yes I do realize that it was written as a joke, but it does have some truth to it as well.

And? They're meaningless truths. That's part of the humor.

I still say a goat would do a damn good job as High King.

 

[Devoniuk2233]

You guys are overlooking Igmund of Markarth. I personally like him as a person just as much as Balgruuf. Igmund is dealing with the forsworn and still managing to keep the city relatively under control (until i came along).

Reminds me of South Park when they made the bunny rabbit Pope lmao...

I pick Balgruuf but only if he ditches those creepy little kids of his to some far off monastery and marries Lady Elisif...

The city under control? The city's economy is controlled by a single family, the Silverbloods.

 

[Fafnir Rjoror of Vikfjell]

balgruuf oh balgruuf why dont ou show us that fine p****

 

[Lady Redpool the Unlifer]

Ulfric honestly would be a good leader in time of war, but should be assassinated immediately afterwards.

Maven would be a good leader.....except for the corruption and fear......maybe she should marry Thonar and start an empire of crime and deciet......This only appeals to me as a criminal

Balgruf would be the best legitimate ruler, every decision he makes is made for the good of his people despite the consequences, and he's not as racist as other Nords.

And yes, a goat would make a better ruler than most other possible choices....

 

[Templar of Talos]

Balgruf, he genuinly cares for his people, and he's not bigoted. I'm all for Skyrim being free of the Empire, just not under Ulfric.

 

[Blaziken]

I voted for balgruuf not only because he is the swaggiest jarl around also because he seems like he actually cares about his hold. ulfric is just power hungry and elisif seems like she would let people take advantage of and is just overall not fit for the job and the other jarls are dipplopss who would suck at it.
