But you know I could forgive all of that, ALL OF IT, if I could KILL THE STORMCLOAK CAPTAINS. I was told by my esteemed general to wipe out the remnants of the traitors, and Bethesda doesn't even bother to take off their essetial flags?!?!? I give up. I have lost all faith in video games. How is any of this acceptable? Granted, the civil war questline itself was AWESOME, but just like everything else in Skyrim, I'm left with a shallow aftertaste as I slowly realize my actions have no consequences, benefits or drawbacks beyond some pretty gear and guards with different uniforms. Please...someone....tell me I'm not the only one whose frustrated by this....

you are preaching to choir. did I mention I wish the CK would come out so people could mod [censored] like this?

And then people ask why Morrowind was so much better , well for one, because of stuff like this.

I've read three or four threads on this in the past few weeks... all with entirely personal and wholly unsearchable topic tags... sigh...

I'm not sure exactly what you were expecting and I did see in your previous thread that you were warned and that this nerdrage attack of yours was something you built up to and even sampled or directly quoted back to us above.

There are a number of little changes and little things that do change and stay changed (do business with the blacksmith or his little girly apprentice after you kill Ulfric, for instance) after the Civil War chain. And there are a number of them that, like finishing the main quest line or any of the others do not change universally.

You can RP this and figure that the guards gossip mill that is almost psychic sometimes doesn't always extend to the common rabble or you can winge and QQ and rage at the developers and those would be examples of choices you can make.

I am curious because you didn't answer it in your previous thread so I'll ask it directly again here... what exactly were you expecting to change that didn't and has made you so angry?
