    question regarding hircine

    Probably has to do with appearance and a play on words. He's based off of Herne the Hunter from our own mythology. Interesting fact is that several names of the Divines are easter eggs from early Elder Scrolls games Akatosh was named after beta tester Lawrence Szydlowski, who liked to sign...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    "Battles are won by trained and disciplined men. Wars are won by talented and exceptional individuals." - General Tullius You hope to gain in council what you've been unable to take in battle, is that it?

    Most annoying quote for you in Skyrim?

    Not a dialogue quote, but... Many species of bear roam Skyrim's wilds. They are fearsome creatures, but will often avoid attacking unless provoked. - Loading Screen Quote Bullplops.

    Hadvar agrees with you.

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Season Unending is about as close as you will get. Both sides wouldn't work together, Ulfric and Tullius are too stubborn to cease fighting. It isn't just the Dragon threat, but the Second Great War just around the corner also.

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Imperial Legates all mention the Dragons as a problem they currently face, Legion is also fighting the Forsworn. I'm not 100% sure about the Stormcloaks, but it is mentioned the Legion get into conflict with the Dragons quite often. Something to do with everytime they move their forces it...

    Any Advice will be appreciated

    Thalmor don't want either side to win, but their objective is the destruction of the Empire. So I suppose you could see the Stormcloak victory being a benefit in their current plans of weakening and finally destroying the Empire. They hate the Empire and are against everything it represents...

    Spoiler The Dark Brotherhood questline - Did you honor the emperors request?

    Word will spread around? Dead men don't tell tales. You actually make more money killing Motierre than not. He has a good number of gems on his person. Consider that payment.

    blades or graybeards

    Depends how I'm feeling on that character. I don't blame the Blades giving me their demand, as much as people want to complain about them "serving" you. They don't serve you, the Blades served the Dragonborn Emperors. They're going back to being Dragonguard and not once do they ever actually...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    I 'd be surprised if it was another decade. With the death of Mede and the Legions gathered, maybe months or a couple of years. Isn't it obvious? To create the uprising in Skyrim. The White-Gold Concordat wasn't that huge a deal for many years, the Nords paid little attention to it. The...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    In a nut shell we are basically an errand boy. Which is why saying the Dragonborn will go on to conquer the Aldmeri Dominion/become Emperor is a fools hope (Those that claim such). We just do whatever we're told and are ignorant of the world around us until people explain things someone living...

    Spoiler The Dark Brotherhood questline - Did you honor the emperors request?

    Yes. You don't trust the Elder Council to simply let you go free, one day they will hunt you down so you can't blackmail or threaten/expose them. Though the Motierre you kill seems to be a double. So he was clever, I'll give him that.

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    House Redoran actually has limited coin in their coffers, they rule through military might, but they struggle with seventy-four outlying settlements. So they have to ration supplies, and other resources by ranking each settlement on their economic/strategic importance. Solstheim is very low on...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Also not being part of the Empire means they've lost free trade. East Empire Company now bleeds them for things that would have been free or next to nothing in cost.

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Leave out their hatred of "Lefthanded Elves" whom they battled for thousands of years to near extinction and that hatred of elves lead to the Redguards extermination of Mer colonies in Hammerfell. You say the Nords and Imperials were being racist and oppressive in their wars against elves, but...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    I'd be a Stormcloak if the rebellion was twenty or more years ago. Breaking away now over the White-Gold Concordat when it could be gone soon, is like standing in line for an hour and storming off when you're next to be served. If the Empire wasn't making any moves to prepare for a second...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    There were tribes of men native to Tamriel. Ysgramor came to Skyrim to escape violence from Atmora, but you're leaving out the thousands who had come before who were peaceful, then they were enslaved and used as play things. The Redguards wiped out a race of elves too. The Nords built a...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Mankind were actually peaceful when they arrived to Tamriel, the elves started the conflicts and issues with men. Enslaving them, torturing for fun and sport, destroying cities they built. Wasn't until Ysgramor's Five Hundred Companions and the Cyrodiil slave revolt did the balance of power...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    "The power to unmake the world at my fingertips, and you think you can do anything about it?" You act like Ancano is innocent, he's far from it. "Judge and jury"... He did go crazy and nearly destroy Winterhold or the world for that matter. He sends another Justiciar to kill the player? I'm...
