A hypothetical question to Empire supporters : V - Skyrim

» Thu Jun 14, 2012 10:16 am

I was wondering, for all people who support the Empire, what would be your reaction if Bethesda made it canon that the Empire lost Skyrim (for instance, if you support the Stormcloaks that is what causes Skyrim's independece or if you support the Empire a later rebellion causes Independence) and later that the independent Skyrim was able to lead an alliance of other nations to defeat the Thalmor.

I actually think that's what they'll do anyway, beth likes to make the outcomes as vague as possible so that any of them could have happened :dry:

I'm not sure if it'll really matter; when TES 6 comes out it'll be in a new province and could be set a century or more after Skyrim, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Skyrim civil war is barely mentioned in the next game. It'll probably pop up in a book or an NPC may mention it in the context of Thalmor invasions & defeats (or maybe an ongoing war with the Thalmor) but I doubt we'll get details.
