On my Khajiit Battle mage/Spell sword. I cannot decide which side to take in the civil war. He is a smart cat, likes the empire, and is suspicious of the Thalmor, However! He thinks with his heart more often than not. What he saw in Solitiude, what he sees the Thalmor openly do in Skyrim, and the Imperial corruption he sees has screwed my original goal.

Help

Divines, no...

Join no one kill all that is the answer your looking for.

Just let your khajiit drink skooma/eat moon sugar and stare at the moons.

I made a very similar thread a few days ago and I recall how people were saying that there's been lots of this kind of threads on the forum that started a flaming war.

Let's see what happens...

To answer the question, just go with whoever ruler you prefer on the throne. Ulfric or Elisif?

Ulfric is a conqueror. Elisif is tender-hearted yet inexperienced ruler.

Ulfric could possibly wage wars in the future to further suffering of Skyrim's people, but on the other hand, we will probably fare better when it comes to war against Tharmors. General Talius could help with Elisif though.

@_@ really there is not much difference to either sides.

Don't bother!

And what exactly did you see in Solitude?

Also the Imperials may be corrupt, but nobody is immune to that effect. You think just because Ulfric and the Stormcloaks fight for Nord independence that they are pure and can do no wrong?

And so it begins.

We can't help you.

Almost everything about the two sides is debatable, so it's up to you to judge.

Just talk to the npcs in every city and take it from there.

Pretty much this. My advice is to not immediately accept any prejudices for either side, such as "OMGZ Ulfric iz racistz" or "LOL wimpy Empire" since there are some

It sounds like he is just looking at things on the surface.

If he is referring to the event at the Solitude gate that happens when you first get there. Yes that was an awful thing to see, but maybe he should put a little more thought into it then 'oh no, that guard was right...the other people are wrong'. The outcome of the Ulfric fight was in dispute from the sounds of it, but who is this guard to say that the people disputing it are wrong? Of course Ulfric probably wouldnt have gotten just treatment himself if that guard didnt do what he did, but guess we'll never know now will we?

Also i still stand by what i said about the imperials and stormcloaks. I havent done the CW story yet, but i dont need to do it to know that there are no 'good and evil' sides in a war. As a whole the Stormcloaks might be the good guys fighting for Nord independence, but are you gonna tell me that in all of the Stormcloak rebellion every soldier is a saint? that there are no bad apples?

EDIT: @ OP, best thing to do is talk to NPCs for both sides and see if their dialogue will sway you one way or another.

He's a smart cat, you say?

Then don't bother getting him involved.

/thread.

IF he TRULY is smart. Then he will acknowledge his father, Alduin who has made him so. Will your kitty Dragonborn defy Alkosh-who-is-Alduin?

Vote for Hevnoraak at the next moot!

Go to valthume and destroy the Evulzzz

I am a completionist so I make all characters do everything and find a way to manage it. Even goodie goodie characters can do the dark brotherhood right.

Good people joining the DB... whaaaaat!!!

If you plan to do everything then at best your character is neutral DnD alignment-wise.

Just become one with the Falmer. Live underground and eat bugs out of each other's hair (or what's left of it).

So far its calm. Maybe this won't reach 8 pages...

Anyways, I think a Khajiit would remain neutral, I would stay out of it. But if you want to pick a side, just talk to the citizens and the Jarls. In addition, try to pick up the "feel of the city".

Indeed.

I have several different toons, and because of my beliefs all of them will end up doing the imperial side of the CW. But i have one character that will end up doing the CW stormcloak side, and i also have my assassin type character that will do the DB quests (while my others will oppose them).

How do you know if the Evulzzz I meant was Valdar?

*screams and faints*

Because.

Hevno skillz.
