Okay everything in the title is true except for the "Take the Throne and topple the Imperial's rule" I thought this was hilarious, and I had a good time doing it. This is why I love Skyrim, there are so many things that you can do other than the main and side quests- You have a whole world to explore!
EDIT:
Due to popular demand, I will be creating a sequel with an open city. I did not use any commands for this video, and I plan on not using them for the next- This is as real as you can get it (for a videogame..)!
