I was thinking they were at first, but now I'm unsure. While a lot of them are, there are a lot that aren't and in many ways I think the Stormcloaks are kind of like the Native Americans. The only big difference I'm noticing is that the Imperials were already in Skyrim when the Nords started fighting for independence.

They're racist. Talk to the anti-Ulric Nord outside of the Palace of Kings. He'll fill you in on the racism.


Edit: My first phrasing read as slightly rude.

How are they like the Native Americans..?
And frankly, most of them are very racist. My Wood Elf was never mocked nearly as much in any Imperial controlled town as she was in Stormcloak territory. Their anti-elf agenda is very evident, and if it were's for characters like Ralof I'd say that the entire organization was a lost cause. As such, even he has misgivings about how it's being run.

Yup they are racist, but actually reading their history made me like them more.

I just can't hate them. I tried to.

I don't think, I know.

yea they are, however since they're against the thalmor, which i loathe, i've "no choice" but to join them :celebration: i'd almost give anything to see thalmor being slaughtered.

They're racist. And Ulfric is at the very least a racist-sympathizer. There's hate and there's allowing hate. They're exactly the same.

1. Walk into Windhelm
2. Turn left
3. Find all the Dark Elves

There's your answer.

Is there any doubt about it? Most of them are quite openly racist. The only thing it takes to learn this is to listen to them talk.

I think both the Stormcloaks and Imperials are wrong. The Imperials are wrong for thinking that Skyrim belongs to them and certainly for banning types of worship (Talos). The Stormcloaks are racist [censored]s who shouldnt think that Skyrim is just for *them* either.So far my character has refused to work with either group.

They are racist idiots who have jumped into a war in a patriotic and racial fervor without any foresight whatsoever into what their future plans will be. They are going to go to war with the Dominion as soon as they gain independence? Do you think Skyrim has a chance against the Dominion without the Legion? And what is going to happen once all the elves are expelled from Skyrim? Don't you think there will be repercussions from the Empire or from Morrowind? The only way to survive against the Thalmor is to fight them with Imperial assistance. Yes, it may not be pretty, and the Empire might have its faults, but it's the only path of survival in the long run.

I wish there was an independent path like in New Vegas.

their cause isn't necessarily racist
but most of them tend to have very racist tendencies.
they feel their customs and land being taken away from them
so they get very defensive when it comes to races, land, religion, etc.
I'm not saying I agree with their being racist, but I do see why they are that way.

Some are but most are not. It's all too easy to confuse nationalism with racism.

I hate the sc. Legion ftw

Cheers

this the damn argonians and khajitts arent even allowed within the city walls and thats just windhelm riften and solitude are the only places ive seen argonians allowed in and khajitts arent allowed in anywhere as an argonian player i had my gripes about the dunmer but damn at least in morrowind you may take a whip but if you were free you could go where you want the nords are officially the most racist of all the races :intergalactic:

Think?


I know. they are.

Down with the Stormcloaks!
All hail the Imperial Legion! Ave true to Ceasar! :gun:

Well, the Empire and the Thalmor aren't friends, not by a long shot, and a another great war will consume Tamriel once again. The rebellion only weakens the Empire further and lowers their chances against the prospering Thalmor who are only waiting to strike when the time is right. Skyrim won't be able to stand its ground against the Aldmeri Dominion on its own - heck, the Empire barely made it through the Great War, and that was only by signing a peace treaty that violated a lot of what the Empire stands for. Heed the Legion's words "The Stormcloaks sometimes like to forget, that the Empire is the only thing that stands between the Aldmeri Dominion and Skyrim". If you really hate the Thalmor, and you should because they're tyrants and even more nazi than the Stormcloaks, you should join up with the Legion and help put down the rebellion so that Skyrim may begin to rebuild its strength against potential Thalmor aggression. The ban on the worship of Talos is temporary - Titus Mede II only signed the White-Gold Concordat so that the Empire could have time to rebuild its strength after the glorious Battle of the Red Ring.




Umm... Have you been to Windhelm? The Gray Quater is on the east side of Windhelm... To the right when you walk in the main-gates.

The Argonians and Dunmer would probably kill each other if they lived together, they hate each other more than they hate the Nords.

blacklight is spot on with this one sad part is were skyrim independant id doubt theyd reach out to hammerfell or black marsh for aid speaking of which how is that going for hammerfell arent they fighting a war with the thalmor right now?

Picking a side is like real-life politics. Pick the lesser of the two evils! I tend to side with the Stormcloaks, just because the Imperials are such bastards!

No <_< , they just happen to put all the Dunmer in a ghetto, and not even allow the Argonians inside.

The Redguards refused to acknowledge the White-Gold Concordat (which gifted a portion of the southern part of Hammerfell to the Aldmeri Dominion) and thus Titus Mede II was forced to let Hammerfell secede from the Empire leaving Cyrodiil, High Rock and Skyrim the only remaining provinces of the Empire. This forced the now independent region of Hammerfell to war with the Aldmeri Dominion, which led to a stalemate between the two warring nations and the withdrawal of Aldmeri Dominion forces due to another peacy treaty.

ah thanks for clearing that up for me its funny but i find myself more intrested in hammerfell and black marsh then skyrim itself then again i always wanted this game to be in either elswyr or black marsh but hey you gotta set up the lore somehow go redguards you may not be lizards but you do have an afro
