I don't know how many of you have played Daggerfall, but there was a large continuity issue with it, due to its ending that allowed a staggering six completely different possibilities. Morrowind was able to resolve this with something you've probably heard of: The Warp in the West, where time shattered and all six Daggerfall endings occurred simultaneously. Although a WITW v2.0 wouldn't be impossible, I think it's highly unlikely(and stupid) that Bethesda would resolve a very substantial continuity issue this way: the outcome of Skyrim's civil war. I think that logically, in order to tie up all of its loose ends, Bethesda is going to have to come up with a way of definitively deciding the ultimate fate of Skyrim's governance. In the event of the player choosing a Stormcloak victory of the civil war questline, the simplest way I can think of going about doing that is an alliance between the Stormcloaks and Imperials against the Thalmor. The Stormcloaks neither wiped out the entire Imperial army, nor are they stupid(at least, Ulfric and Galmar aren't), and as such I find it highly unlikely that Ulfric would be willing to take up arms against them without any other form of military support. In the event of military cooperation between the Stormcloak and Imperial armies, they could effectively end the entire original cause of Skyrim's civil war, which could potentially allow Skyrim to begin negotiations to rejoin the Empire(which both would benefit from for a multitude of reasons). It would also likely have to establish to whom High Kingship would be given, so I imagine that it would probably have to be Elisif, meaning that Ulfric will probably have to die somehow, due to the fact that I highly doubt he'd be willing to grant her that much power any other way.
I hope this was an acceptable first post, I've been with the Elder Scrolls franchise for a long time...
