Anyone else having trouble rooting for the Nords or Stormcloacks in particular?I for one just find the Forsworn,Daedric ,Snow Elves much more intresting and find my self wishing i would have more quests related to them.

Not me. I have always hated the fact that the Elder Scrolls games forced me to aid the Empire. I'm ecstatic about being given a chance to side with the Stormcloaks. It's one of my favorite features in Skyrim.

I wish I also had the opportunity to join the Forsworn. I don't want to join the Famer, but I do pity them.

Who told you the Stormcloaks were the bad guys?? The Thalmor are the obvious bad guys, the Stormcloaks are not bad at all...

That can be disputed.

If you think the Stormcloaks are bad guys you need to get your head examined, as far as I'm concerned, the Stormcloaks aren't the ones that tried to chop your head off for crossing the border.

guys... you should read the startpost before posting

Yeah, I've had too many glasses of Jameson to realize wtf is going on so sorry if I'm completely off topic here

pour me a drink,please?

There is no bad and good, nor right or wrong. It's opposing factions with different ideologies, motives, and goals. If you think the stormcloaks are good, you should read up on "Extreme nationalism"

Ahh now thats kicked the hornets nest and may well start off another Stormcloak vs the empire debate.

Pour me some Human Blood! Rawr! All Hail The Green Pact!

It's like 1:00 AM here and I think this is the drunkest I've been in a while thank god for spell check because otherwise you wouldn't even be able to read what I was saying this took 5 minutes to type and btw I will pour you a drink, what are you having tonight friend?

He's not calling the nords the bad guys I dont think.

Indeed. I don't think either side has a halo over its head, but from both perspectives, their causes are noble. That said, the Stormcloaks are my guys (obviously) because to me their cause is more noble.

OP, I have no problems whatsoever rooting for the goodguys Stormcloaks.

I have no problems rooting for the Nords/Stormies. Being an American helps, as I am from a country that was founded by people who also gained their independence from an empire. Like Pseron, I am glad that we finally have an option of fighting the Empire and perhaps taking a step toward bringing self-determination to the states of Tamriel.

I have never really had any desire to join or root for the Forsworn. They are just a bunch of psychos, always have been, always will be. I do feel sorry for the Falmer, but they are so beyond redemption that the only thing that can be done with them is to kill them. I feel sorry for the few remaining 'pure' Snow Elves who make an appearance in Dawnguard. Though since I do not have that DLC, I do not really know much about them specifically. Depending on what they are like, some of my characters would probably be more than willing to support them. As far as Daedra go, most of them seem much to eager to destroy the world my characters live upon to ever consider supporting them.

I've also always disliked working for the empire, but this time around given a choice... I like to side with them haha. Maybe i've been conditioned by them into thinking like they do.

Calling either side good or bad is debatable.

I wish the Daedra actually had active cults with complete questlines rather than going down the route of being one and done like they are now. I especially would like a cult for Hircine.

I also wish there was more to the Forsworn as well, even though i don't think I'd be jumping at the chance to join them. Especially because of one particular Forsworn I've come across.

And neither did the imperials. BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY ONE IMPERIAL.

One imperial captain with the general of the whole legion in Skyrim standing right there you mean... Or did you somehow miss Tullius's grumpy little mug in that scene? Must've been some other milk drinker.

You can hardly blame Tullius. Think about it; you've just managed to capture the leader of a powerful rebellion with his personal bodyguard. There's one mysterious nobody who claims to be innocent but may or may not have to do with the whole matter; better to finish them all off. No muss, no fuss. Would have done the same in his place.

No I can blame him, considering I'm wearing rags, and am obviously not a stormcloak. Its not as bad if you are a nord, but what if you're an orc, imperial, dunmer, or even a high elf? How do you mistake one of those as a stormcloak?

And there's the fact that I was caught crossing the border into Skyrim. Makes no sense to assume I'm a stormcloak.

If you start the game as an Imperial, the Captain refers to you as the "renegade from Cyrodiil" when she calls you over to the chopping block, if we apply that same title to the other races then it becomes apparent that they thought you were an escaped convict or something to that effect, they never once assumed you were a Stormcloak.

Adding to that, you were apparently caught alongside a horse thief. Not sure about the in Tamriel but in my state that used to be a capital offense, and we really have no way of knowing whose horse it was Lokir was trying to steal. Could have very well been Tullius'. That would be pretty damning if they thought you two were together.
