Obviously, only one side can truly win the war. And yet in-game you hae the option of leading both sides to victory with different characters.
Who then, do you think Bethesda will decide wins the war for real? And how will they integrate that with the reality of the game, which is that many people will have experienced the opposite side winning? Will they say something like "Legion/Stormcloaks were defeated by one known as the 'Dragonborn', but fought back after s/he mysteriously vanished to reclaim victory"? Or will they say that the outcome has been lost to history, even though such an explanation would require an almost apocalyptic catastrophe to be at all convincing?
I think in keeping with the general trend of the Empire falling apart, the Stormcloaks may win the war in the lore. But that is pure speculation, and I have no idea what Bethesda are planning. How do you see it?
