I'm lvl 46. I know they couldn't account for every player action, but they could at least have accounted for some. Like the player strutting into Ulfric's castle wearing Mede II's robe and no one noticing. Okay they didn't have cameras in Skyrim, but they did have printing presses.

"You're welcome as long as you leave your criminal past behind." What? Leave my criminal past behind? What's the fun in that?
"Go kill an ice wraith." Pfft. No problem. Bring it on.

So I make a side trip to Riften, drop off the Robe, and some other junk, do the ice wraith thing and come back. Then meet his second to get the jagged crown. Now I know what's going to be waiting in the tomb.... Deathlords. So these milk-drinkers go wading half willy nilly running through the place and all get killed except his second. I sneak attack the boss, and grab the crown and other loot, while his second (essential) keeps the other two busy, then go take care of them.

When I get back to Windhelm, I wanted to talk to Ulfric first. Why did I get this feeling of "Ja voll mein Fuehrer!" the entire time. Ah but he's not going to wipe out the elves. Just the Thalmor, so our goals are the same and I give him the crown. So now I'm supposed to give Balgruuf his axe, so that now we see if Balgruuf has an axe to grind -- so this is where this saying comes from. But first I need to do some more Thieves Guild stuff.

And it's really bad when you don't even care if you get caught anymore.

Well I can see that you are playing with lots of humour (even black).. I like that.

I can't take any of these games seriously. The designers have a great sense of humor. Look at Fallout NV -- The Yes Man??? and Mr. House (errr Mr. Hughes) ... NOVAC(ancy)... And simply coming up with the idea of Sheogorath. Brilliant!!

Life is too short. Enjoy some cheese.

I would've thought you'd been a Stormcloak, considering your name. Are you just married to Ulfric then?

I'm finally going to join them as well (well not finally.. I'm going to try again without quitting).
