I cannot continue or havent been able to play SKYRIM I cannot make this choice I need help.

I always loved the Empire but after seeing the torture chambers are they supposed to be the bad guys?


THey are sure making them seem evil in this game. Should I stick with Rebels?

But I love the Empire and its lore. Please help explain why I should do one or other!

Empire tried to execute you, despite not knowing who you were.
Empire are doing the will of Thalmer.
Empire are trying to destroy nord culture.
Empire has abandoned their own culture out of cowardice.

The mpire is just dying and trying to drag skyrim with it. Dont let that happen.

14 hours in the game, I can say that my pick would be the empire anyway.
Many of the stormcloaks I talked was overaggressive and really not that smart. The leaders also seems to have a "skyrim-only-for-the-nords" mentality, and becuse my character is a redguard he despise such opinions.

I lay my sword and shield down for the Empire, I will fight for the unity of Tamriel under one true Emperor!

Going to go Empire. I love the empire regardless of how bad it is doing. I believe in uniting all of Tamriel and without SKYRIM that will not be easy. YOU guys have helped me out a lot thanks! I can finally play the game now!

Good choice mate, lets not focus whos land is whos, let everybody come and go as they want in Tamriel, and let us make no difference beetween races (with the imperials as masters and lords..ofcourse )

Only question I have is whether fighting for the Empire means fighting for the Thalmor. I do not like them, and would be much happier being involved in an empire-wide rebellion than helping them out; but I don't like the Stormcloaks, either, because they're idiot racist murderers. Neither faction seems particularly good; only reason I'm considering joining either of them is because I'm a compulsive completionist.

Mainly the thalmor deathsquads, the empire loves those.

Just pick one! You can always play again as the opposite.

The stormcloak supporters in windhelm just remind me of the BNP.

The British National Party?

No, the bi-sixual nudist patrol...
