Actually yeah thats something I thought they did quite well. Both sides are pretty gray instead of black or white. That was nice I thought. =)

Regardless of your choices, it's obvious that something will happen so the point of the CW becomes moot. Like a surprise Thalmor attack on Windhelm/Solitude.

I noticed that no matter how you compare them they are the same

Thalmor would attack Cyrodiil before Skyrim.

Your right, most likely the civil war will be rendered unimportant. Something will happen to eclipse it. they make games that you play and are fun but when they are done they are done and mean nothing now. They make small mentions on what happened in the next game because it's amusing and because people would whine more if they didn't.

What people fail to acknowledge it seems is that it's not real and as such doesn't work like the real world. The falmer might attack, the thalmor might attack, the empire might be destroyed by the thalmor instead thus remomving their control of skyrim. They might solve this all with a book.

It's their world, we just play in it.

You dont play TES games, You live them.

Except, as pointed out before, they cut the CW before 11/11/11 was even a problem.

so your accusation does not match the facts of the matter.

Civil War was horribly done. All I felt coming from it was cardboard boxes with tape recorders stuck on them fighting. Sometimes, I wish a Dragon would attack during those battles. It would make it much more interesting.

aaaand how would you know that.

I have had a dragon and vampires attack during a Fort battle.

The 11/11/11 wasn't the reason the CW got shafted, its like i said in my earlier post. the MQ was pathetic. and the CW was huge and well thought out. they had to cut out a lot of content because they can't make it overtop the MQ. Todd says that in an interview. they ignored a lot of things for the sake of the MQ. including horses.

I was expecting a DLC to end the Civil War. Oh well the Xbox exclusive ending took care of that!

The CW was a great opportunity to use the radiant system. For instance, you could need to do a certain amount of radiant quests before you could do the next part of the CW in liberating/retaking a hold, such as defending the forts you own from enemy attacks, persuading people to preach about your side, kill an enemy spy, etc. which could have made the CW seem more dynamic instead of making the opposing side appear lazy by not doing anything while you're winning. Last I recall, wars weren't simply one side going on the offensive while the other side defended and didn't do anything else.

Except the Xbox exclusive ended with Dragonborn, the final DLC, and even Hearthfire was delayed for PC (and all of them were delayed by over a year for PS3, but that wasn't down to the exclusivity deals). The end of the Xbox exclusivity had no bearing on whether we were given any more DLC. I ask politely for you to not turn this into a platform war.

Some of the legates in the camps have personal stories like the altmer in the riften imperial camp.

That Altmer is only Legionaire I like. He has really interesting Dialogue.

Oh yes indeed.

As I said, "with a couple exceptions".

Why did I read this in Delvin's voice.
