How they intend to do it is pretty much stated in the game too IIRC. The implication is that the imperial army will have reinforcements from the southern fronts which will leave it open for attack... Though this is just me guessing based on what I've seen and in that case it won't matter who wins. They can just say Ulfric and Tullius died and the playerbase is free to make up their own mind about it.

A dragon priest doesn't really compare to the might of a dragonborn though.

I'd heard of people saying that Cliff Racers were everything from annoying to the devil incarnate, but I didn't know they were -that- bad.

It's more that she's deathly afraid of temples insofar as the story goes I think. Game mechanically this isn't shown granted and that kinda sucks...

Aye it is. Even his hair! So whenever I see him I can't help but wonder if Tullius will parallel Julius Caesars take over of Rome. It certainly wouldn't surprise me at this point. So he'd probably die in his 50ies too. xD That's also a possibility yes. I find it amusing that if Ulfric hadn't stirred up trouble, the Thalmor would never have managed to establish the foothold it currently has nor would the ban on Talos worship even be an issue since the empire was flat out ignoring it and could get away with it(at least for the most part).

For some reason whenever I see General Tullius, I start thinking of Julius Caesar. And yeah I agree that the rebellion seems to be tied to Ulfric and would most likely just die with him, but as Tullius mentions after Ulfric is executed, he's hoping he didn't just create a martyr.

That's pretty much why I think he believes he can pull it off. In this situation the empire just can't afford to send a full military force unless something really dire happens. Which it does of the stormcloaks win, but then again the emperor is assassinated so the repercussions from that makes it hard to tell how it would go. It's interesting and I do look forward to see how Bethesda intends to solve it. At least things are open so that they could easily go wherever they want at the moment. Not a bad set up really.

Doesn't Ulfric flat out admit that he can't take on the empire in a full out war? I recall he says something like if the emperor visits Solitude when you're ready to take it in the Civil War questline. Assuming the wiki quotes him correctly, this is what he says about it: "We're ready to march on Solitude, but the Emperor's cousin is getting married! If royal blood was spilt, all of Cyrodiil would be up in arms. We can't afford an all out war with the Empire. So we'll bide our time for now." and "We're ready to march on Solitude, but the Emperor's visiting! The goddamned Emperor! And, as much as I'd like to kill the man myself, we can't risk an all out war with the Empire. We'll bide our time for now..." Which suggests that even if he did manage to win, he's screwed if the empire or the Aldmeri dominion drops by in force. So the only reason he has a chance now is because the Aldmeri Dominion makes it so that the empire can't afford to have their army deal with this directly.

While the game definitely does come across as interesting, there are a few problems I have with it based on what I see in the trailer and what I could gather from a quick glance at the steam description. - Locked to first person perspective and I have next to no love for melee combat in these cases. That's not to say I can't enjoy it, but it detracts a lot as hit detection always comes across as complete garbage in these games. - Outdated graphics. Though seeing as it's made by indie developers, I could forgive this one rather easily. - Set protagonist and no character customization. While set protagonists is not a bad thing, I quite frankly expect a -LOT- more in games like these and always will. At the very least the characters gender should've been selectable, but as it stands it is a no buy for me.(I suppose the TES games and many others has spoiled me in this regard) Those few issues aside, the map system definitely isn't something I can recall having seen before outside of maybe minecraft vanilla, but this one seems to have a lot more functionality than "hold up and look where you are!". There seems to be a crafting system in place as well and that could be an interesting feature(albeit unimportant to me as I rarely bother with them outside of certain circumstances). The premise is in general an interesting idea and the more that tries these kinds of things, the better for everyone. So in the end I hope these guys manage to sell plenty of copies and make enough to improve on what they have here.

Having played through Helgen more times than I care to count, I can honestly say that there's not really any evidence there that's pro-Stormcloak or pro-Empire. Closest you get is the a**hole captain who decides to execute you because it's better to be safe than sorry. A horrible act, but I can see where it's coming from.

I assume they got used to the darkness and learned how to use their other senses to compensate for their loss of sight. IIRC this is something which happens in real life too so it's not really that strange. Plus in a setting with magic, I'm sure they found other ways to deal with the downsides of being blind.

Thorygg wouldn't have won either way. Too young and inexperienced. I think the reason Ulfric used it was partially because of how Nords tend to view people whit the ability to use the Thu'um and partially to ensure he won the fight without getting himself hurt incase things went downhill. Even Thorygg who adored him prior to this pretty much falls just a second short of calling Ulfric a coward for it.

Didn't one of the NPC's mention that the empire sends much needed supplies to Skyrim constantly that'd vanish if it broke free? I certainly recall it being mentioned.

Your not playing a good character if you murder a women because she is 'verbally abusive' to some kids. You have chosen a different path. Just to point this out... Verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse. Plus the body may heal, but the mind may not and once it's damaged, it's a lot harder to heal after suffering abuse. Also I don't quite recall the details of the quest, but I do remember getting the impression that the woman was someone who abused her children. So I can see why someone might off her. Of course it may just be that she simply sets her foot down and give her children clear lines of what they can and can't do, but as we're never told the specifics, we'll just have to go by what the quest says.

Doesn't that right hand guy of Harkon pretty much outright state that the dragonborn is the new lady of the castle? I'm voting for her anyhow. :P
