Thanks for the heads up! Considering the mods I've already got installed, I'll probably forgo the totally neutral route (it seems like the Betrayal at Hrothgar mod can have some issues too, and is not particularly lore friendly in execution). Hopefully we'll see something like this done in the future, though at this point in Skyrim's lifecycle it's probably not going to happen. Looks like I'll be going the imperial route!

Thanks for the reply! That's what I'm hoping for with the last mentioned mods. I'm hoping to start out without triggering any CE sides (remaining neutral), assassinate the Emperor and finish the DB questline, end the civil war at Hrothgar (and in a sense start the Second Great War) by killing Elenwen, then begin the Second Great War storyline which would be pretty cool story-wise if it worked. I'm just hoping that everything is compatible, especially considering that I have many no-longer-needed mods installed. That paired with specific triggers for the Second Great War mod make me a little nervous.

Hey guys! I've been playing my first modded play-through of Skyrim, and have been debating on even doing the Civil War questline. I agree with certain parts of both storylines, and so I'd rather not totally annihilate one side or the other just to finish the quest. Before starting this campaign I first installed mods to try to make a Stormcloak playthrough to be a little more fitting to my play style, though now I've been looking into a few different mods that try to find a middle-ground between the two sides. I'm curious to see if there's anybody that has experienced any incompatibility between any of these mods (especially considering some mods don't have a lot of downloads), or if you guys have any recommendations of any others to try. There are a few mods that I've already installed, as I didn't realize some of the others existed until now. I'm playing SSE.
