It's made pretty clear that Alduin is going to end Tamriel, Aetherius and Oblivion. I don't know about everyone else, but personally I find that a hard goal to work towards. Also, you probably wouldn't be able to play on afterwards.

What would you get for doing so anyway? An end to the game? Possibly his meteor summon or dragon resurrect shout?
I've noticed the idea of betraying him has come up a bit, but that doesn't make sense for a number of reasons. For one, you wouldn't be able to kill him, because the Greybeards and the Blades would refuse to help you, (they'd probably try to outright kill you.) thus, you'd have no knowledge of dragonrend, his only weakness.
Secondly, The Dragons would never bow to a mortal master - and even if they did, it'd take quite a while for them to come around (a lot probably wouldn't)
Lastly, though there are likely other reasons, it eliminates the point of joining Alduin in the first place. You end up with the same situation as before, if not a worse one.

So while you supporters of Alduin are committing suicide, I'll be working with the Empire.

I would join the Dragons and be the Anti-Dragonborn

I would federate and then lead the 8 Dragon Priests to the conquest of Skyrim. I would designate each of them as a Ruler/Jarl of a hold after conquering them one by one with the help of the Dragons.

I would then KILL Alduin, and declare myself Ruler of Skyrim, choosing Whiterun as my capital. By killing Alduin, I will then subdue the other dragons under my command. Those who don't follow me would die.

Then I will go conquer the rest of Tamriel.

I Wish you could do that in SKyrim.

The game already has heaps of ways to turn evil, from the Theives Guild, Dark Brotherhood, the several Daedric quests, and of course being a vampire lord.
Although I admit joining the dragons would be a great alternative quest line to the Blades.
It'd also be cool to join the Forsworn, Vigil of Stendarr, the Thalmor, in fact, why not:

True, but during all the DB and TG quests, you come out almost a hero at the end, in a twisted POV. At least, that's what it felt like to me. I'm talking destroy the world kind of evil all.

That's the point though. Chaos. Nothing would make sense and everything will be spinning out of control like a twister from hell. Of course, it'll never happen in a TES game, but man, it would be fun to do it in Skyrim. You got the world ending, Dragons, a civil war, assassins, thieves, vampires, werewolves, Mages and countless others. Mix that all together, and the one person who is suppose to fix everything, instead, destroys everything. All Darth Vader like. That would be awesome, but I see your point.

Did we actually kill Alduin, or did we send him through time again? It's been a long time since I defeated him XD

We "Killed" him, but never absorbed his soul. Its like Arngeir said when you question him about it, "Perhaps Alduin cannot be truly defeated and will return again to fulfill his destiny and end the world"

Did he disappear? Then Alduin will eventually end the world. So we just delayed it again. Unless in the next TES it mentions an exact date when Alduin the World-Eater was Defeated, then we should be able to choose if we want to defeat him now.

He was beaten outright and his body was destroyed but his soul lingers on, possibly regaining strength over a long time before he is ready to come again and do what he does best, that's what I think happened/Is happening. I guess all we can do is wait and see.

hmmmm.... megatron and mario or people that can't get their crap together... ya dragons are better.
Besides, I wouldn't have to be evil to side with him... I could teach him how to love, BUT NOT IN THAT WAY!!!!
 
Since when have they been "thinking about dragon mounts." All I've heard are fans pleading for it. I don't think it's lore-friendly, it shouldn't happen.

I watched a video on youtube that they created to give fans an idea of whats coming out in the future and dragon mounts was in it.

I know what you mean about a hero in a twisted pov, although you're still joining a band of assassins and theives, and there's no way they're "good guys".
And I guess it'd be cool to take Alduin's side and destroy the world. But then there won't be an Elder Scrolls VI, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?

Well at the end of the main quest, after you defeat Alduin, all of the dragons hail you as the patriarch / matriarch dovah, so there could be a dragon guild after this point.
I would much prefer a way to join the Forsworn though, they have so much lore possibility.

Dear God...think of the horror. lol!!!

Alduin's the bad guy. I know bad guys are cool and all. But he's the kill everything but him guy.

At least TG has a very specific rule. No killing.

first off, i don't think it'd work so simply, but the concept appeals to me.

secondly, if they were going to do this, they'd be able to make another dlc where you could be a dragon, or half dragon. (not trying to reference to the cartoon, but for real, best i could think of)

in the end, i would slay legions of pesky mortals in the name of alduin, till i decided to take over...

I think it's a good idea because i always play as a thief and assassin also i finished the main story line a lot of times and i'm really bored of doing the same story line all over again. something different for a change.

Bring me my broadsword, and clear understanding.
Alduin might not be too happy about you needing dragon souls to learn shouts. Reduces his army a bit. Unless of course he teaches you selected ones, in a similar manner to the Greybeards, he thinks relevant to his needs.
