Which one seem more worthy?

Assuming empire would one day get rid of the Thalmor.

Depends on how you view your own Character...what would your character do? What race is he?

I'm a Nord warrior mostly (although not too shaby with Magic either) and i hate the Thalmor and the Empire. Stormcloaks for me with this character.

My next Character will go with the Empire.

My 3rd will be a Dirty ,rotten ,Thieving ,mudering scumbag that don't care for either of them

I initiated the quest as an Imperial, I told the recruiter that Skyrim is home to more then just Nords.

Basically the way I view it is that Stormcloaks are a bit racist, but as an Imperial I hope to change that.

The way I view the empire is a controlling government influenced by Nazis (Thalmor).

Though the Empire didn't seem bad at all in Oblivion, but then again that was the Empire in its territory.

Oh and to top it off I have to swear fealty to Ulfric?

That's not at all an unreasonable request for this sort of society. In fact, it would be a big shock if he didn't require something like that. Like many on this board, you have to get out of the practice of "thinking modern" and start thinking "early medieval". Your loyalty is not to abstract ideas or principles--loyalty is a personal thing--not to be given lightly and not to be asked for lightly. Ulfric has every right to expect personal loyalty (fealty) from you if you choose to enter his service and he also has the obligation to return said loyalty--he has the duty to come to your aid when needed and to govern well. By joining with Ulfric, you're basically becoming a member of the extended family in a manner of speaking. This is typical of the early medieval outlook that I think Bethesda is going for here. The Universal Empire (Rome/Cyrodil) is essentially dead. The "New" Empire is essentially Byzantium, the Thalmor are the Sassanid Persians, the Nords, Bretons, and Redguiards are what's left of the Western Empire. Get into that mode of thinking and Ulfric's actions begin to make a lot more sense.

Stormcloaks :intergalactic:

Empire. One good reason: Ulfric.

I went with the Empire as well.

I've been staying neutral with my character--she basically wishes a plague on both their houses. I see Ulfric as being just a typical early medieval kinglet--nothing more, nothing less. Tullius,however, to me in many ways resembles the Duke of Alva--and we know how that turned out!

Stormcloaks for my Bosmer Thief! They are the rebels, fighting for control of their land but I do find them a bit intolerant in regards to other races that are not Nord. They do hate the Thalmor as much if not more than the Empire.

My Nord Warrior is going Empire, since he's a righteous badass mofo. Can't wait to kill Ulfric, he's such a dik.

I'm with the Empire, there's no way Skyrim can defend itself from the Dominion if they throw there full military might against them (manipulating KGB Thalmor aside). In fact, the Thalmor themselves bring up a good point, with how many Thalmor agents that are in Skyrim, that only makes things worse. With the Blades being seemingly rebuilt, they most likely will go back to the Empire's service (I don't see them remaining an Independant organization for long, and with Ulfric's Thalmor influence the Baldes won't side with him). So the Empire is the only one who can hope tomatch the Dominion blow for blow. Yes, Hammerfell fought the Dominion out of their lands, but they had many of the Legion's 'invalids' to help them. If the Dominion threw everything they had at the Hammerfell, they would have lost.

The only choice for the survival of Men is a united Empire. Though I don't think Great War II should be fought right after Skyrim, I think the Empire should try to bring the Black Marsh back into the Imperial fold. (which is what I think TES:VI will be about) Think about it, if the Empire takes back Black Marsh, they can also then help the Dunmer resettle Vvardenfell and the rest of Morrowind. With one victory the Empire can win the loyalty of two whole races (yes that's a 'best case senario, but stranger things have happened in TES MQs).

Well, seein' as how the game starts with the Empire almost killing me .... I figger my enemy's enemy is my friend - stormcloaks for me.

If it were me I would go with the Empire.
