Not trying to start a "vs" or "Who should win" thread, but as my new Nord escaped Helgen, I got to worrying about Skyrim's future. Being a Nord, I followed Ralof

In the big cave where "the big battle" takes place, I found that neither the Stormcloak nor Imperial soldiers impressed me much. When I got to the archers standing in oil and ignited it, the 2 Stormcloak soldiers with us ran right into the flames and died. All I can say, natural selection at work as their gene pool got eliminated by their stupidity.

Then after dispatching the 2 Imperial archers, I collected about a dozen iron arrows from the wooden railing. Are they that dull-witted that adjusting their position or aim is so difficult?

I think that this will be a very long war...
