In Morrowind you are a prisoner of the Imperials, then they drag you away from everything you know and love to a whole new country ( to Morrowind ) , give you a few gold peaces and send you to be a blades errands-boy.

Considering that the blades are essentially a imperial secret police my character wanted to kill them not work for them.

In Oblivion the Imperials keep you in a prison so bad they don't even bother to remove the dead from the cells.
But in the tutorial mission everybody from the emperor to his guard act like you would gladly do whatever they ask including defending the emperor with your life.

Hardly, i would be more likely to join the assassins at that point.

In Skyrim What to you folks think ?

You need to do more research. The blades are hunted by the empire now.

Spoilers mang. >:|

Personally I think the Imperials are scum that need to be exterminated.

You can fight the Empire in Skyrim. I myself can't decide what I'm going to do now.

Its TES tradition now, don't question the tradition

Someone needs to brush up on their lore.

-Mr. Maric

This, just this, ALL THE WAY THIS!


Did I state myself clearly?

perhaps , but if there are any mistakes they should be in the Skyrim part of the post , you are welcome to correct me.

Ehmmm... the new Empire killed all the Blades but one. You should read a little bit of Lore, before posting something like this.

The Imperials are Roman, they've united the known world together and brought forth a new age of advancement and law. They aren't nice guys but it's better than the alternative of bandits and warring kingdoms. Their dominance and devotion to law is probably the reason why they are usually on the right side of the conflict, not because they're inherently good. That said most of the time it's everyone versus an insane death god, so now is not the time to be picky and hold grudges unless you like the idea of living in hell.

No in the leak the imperials are bastards because of the stormcloaks did you not hear the thief?

perfectly reasonable, but it can be hard to be reasonable when you are waiting for your public execution.

Guys did you not listen to the diaglouge ULRIC Turned skyrim into chaos

I can see that, but it's either the corrupt draconic (tee hee) law of the Legion or Alduin the world eater.

My point with this is that the prisoner story is intended to give your character a clean slate beginning .

But what it actually does is give you a massive grudge against people you will be saving later.

LOL - they banned the worship of Talos - the greatest emperor of all times and thought, that no brave men would
disagree with such blasphemy!

I guess it depends pn your perspective. I remember my wife was thrilled when she heard you'd get to help the Emperorer in Oblivion ( didn't turn out you could do much obviously) because she felt indebted to him from Morrowind. I've slways felt the empire was basically a good thing for the world but not perfect.

Be qiuet! The imperial are badass...And in the intro ir appears they give you a choice Of which person To follow

This, Its obvious you don't know much.

My character is a dunmer and he hates everybody equally

Stop right there criminal? scum!

Nobody talks blasphemy on my watch!

The leak Just reinforced how Badass they are......

I don't think the Imperials are that bad...it's just that it's hard to enforce order without being an ass sometimes.
