BrettM Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ulfric's counter argument would be that use of the Voice is traditional in Nord combat, by the oldest traditions they have, dating back to the original colonists from Atmora. That is why the Draugr are able to use shouts against you, as they are all Nord warriors from the ancient days when this was part of their training. Tsun uses shouts when you must battle him to prove your right to enter the Hall of Valor. This is a tradition that is honored in song and story by Nords all over Skyrim. Unfortunately, it has become a non-traditional tradition. The thu'um has become a thing of legend, and modern Nords seem shocked that anyone could or would actually practice it other than a few old monks tucked away on top of a mountain. Based on casual comments by hold guards, modern Nords aren't even sure as to whether the thu'um is something that can be taught like other combat skills. They know the legends but have forgotten the practice. Is Ulfric's honor really stained by following this old tradition in modern times? I don't think the answer is as simple as comparing it to a gun at a sword fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kradus Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 You've used unrenlenting force against casual warriors, you know what it can do. And the voice wasn't widely practiced for thousands of years. Precisely why the king himself didn't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinh834 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I choose Imperials, why? At the end of the Civil War quest line for the Stormcloak, Ulfric says that he WILL be high king, even if not all of the moot agrees, just because he has Troops in their city. Now that isn't very nice is it? TO force them to vote for him?? Also, the end of the imperial quest line, legate Rikka says to Ulfric, "May Talos Guide you" and General Tulius obviously hears here, but doesn't arrest her. As a result, the empire is so serious about maintaining the ban of talos and General Tulius hints at attacking the thalmor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedFury Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Empire on my first character. Could not stand how Stormcloaks treated other races as that showed a very bad image to other people. Hitler was like that and I saw them the same way, either your a Nord or not. Skyrim is for Nords everyone else leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
