fortie Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I need help. No matter what race I play I just can't find my character wanting to join the stormcloaks. They always end up with the imperials. Can anyone give me some help on why I should join the stormcloaks over the imperials or vice versa. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21crescendo Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Seriously ?! Come on mate! Just try joining the Stormies! I could tell you detailed reasons why, but I think you try them just cause they are there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qupp422G09 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You need to speak to Ralof,Ulfric or Gelmar in order to join the Stormcloaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortie Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I know how to join them haha the thing is I need a reason to make me go join them. I think I really like solitude to much that's really what I like about the imperials ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyMilla Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Both sides have their pros and cons. Myself, unlike in the previous TES games (Oblivion, Morrowind), I am unable to join the imperials. Just imagine that the Empire that once played a positive role, and acted as a unifying force is now a rotten carcass that lost many of its former provinces, sold out its soul - its faith in Talos, the found of the Empire - in a bad peace treaty, and draw analogies from history (Empire = Petain government during France's German occupation, Stormcloaks = Maquisards, Thalmor = Gestapo/SS troops roaming the country, and rounding up patriots, etc.), and you are good to go.

fortie Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I like your outlook on that. It helps. It could be like the fall of Germany (imperials) and the allies (stormcloaks) are taking back the land. Possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chikawowwow Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I always used to join the Stormcloaks, it felt like I was fighting for freedom against the puppets of the oppressors, but I can no longer do so after reading a certain dossier in the Thalmor embassy. The only thing that has really swayed me from this is talking to a family in Riften (can't remember the name).I know that doesn't help you much.. sorry.

Rooker75 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (Role Playing Geekery)The emperor is a coward. He fled his capital with his tail between his legs and only found the courage to return when an army of Nords and Redguards arrived to reinforce. Then, after the Nords and Redguards destroy the Thalmor army and retake the capital for him, he surrenders. He gives away Hammerfell. He bans worship of the founder of the empire. He allows Thalmor agents to roam the land abducting people and torturing them to death because they don't like their god. What use is an empire that doesn't protect its people or land? Screw the empire.(/Role Playing Geekery) Also, some of those Stormcloak girls are pretty cute. Just saying. @chikawowwowI think you're misreading the dossier. They tortured information out of him -- information which apparently wasn't useful anyway -- but he refuses to have anything to do with them since being released. Calling him "an asset" is just wishful thinking on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
