Lol some how I think the Nazi Thamor will attempt to invade after all they want to wipe the world of all but themselves.

Is that why, Hitler himself "Ulfric Stormcloak" decalres war on the Thalmors

Spoiler

after the Civil War is over

Ulfric is right. he just goes about it the wrong way.

I just can't support the Empire, there just way too absolutist. I mean they go around chopping off people's heads who even sympathize with the Stormcloaks, it makes it really hard for me to tolerate that.

Last poll I saw favored the Empire.

I'm not talking a poll, as that would skewer the results. I think that many fans of the series have a soft spot for the Empire. I was thinking more along the lines of which victory was followed when the achievement for settling the civil war was unlocked. I'm unsure if PS3 has achievements, though.

This wont really work as I think most did both to see the outcome.

You did one before you did the other :smile:

Still, it was more of a funny idea than anything else. Most likely the result of the civil war will have little long term effect. Or the issue will be resolved in a DLC.

Edit: Clarification.

I was wondering, the Skyrim Civil War outcome would be a major moment in Tamrielic history, so I was wondering how the offical lore would handle it. I mean, if you are given two options for an individual quest, say, helping or hurting an old lady, those kinds of details are unimportant enough to ignore when takling about hte history of Tamriel, but the Skyrim Civil War? You can't just gloss over that. I mean, if you look up any war in recorded history, you will know the outcome, its not like details like that are ever ambiguous.

I think that who wins is not important, lore-wise. I presume that something more important will happen in the future making this war simply irrelevant.

I'd prefer the Stormcloaks to have won but I can see the Thalmor attacking in force leaving each province in need for an allied respone, meaning the Stormcloaks and Empire could have to work together for the time beging. If the Empire wins then there is no more ban on Talso and that was one of the main points of the war. That could make the Stormcloaks and Empire come to a new kind of agreement with each other.

Bethesda can solve this problem really easy:

"The civil war in Skyrim saw many turnigs of the tide. Even the capitol cities of the different sites fell to each others hand. Eventually both leaders of the opposing sites, Genral Tullius and Ulfric Stormcloak, died in the war. After this ..."

Well seeing as how the [censored] Thalmor ( :swear:

)came in and said how they where the heroes of the Oblivion Crisis I'm thinking that they do the same thing again

Seriously, I doubt that the dovakiin will get anything more than a paragraph reference in the next game. And even if this happens, I'd be suprised.

I suspect the same thing - hardly anyone in-game regards the dragons to be much more than a pest-control problem, and even fewer are aware that the Dovahkin did anything significant. Now, a DLC could potentially change that, but I'm not holding my breath.

I hope it somehow will be.
