Imperial Side:
The Aldmeri Dominion betray the Empire and launch a full attack on Skyrim and/or Cyrodiil. The Imperial army is scattered as settlers of the land are forced into slavery by the elves. As the Dragonborn, you take refugee in a old fort/dwemer ruin/wherever and recruit your own ragtag army and rebel against the elves. You face many defeats throughout the story and lose many friends in battles. A Thalmor agent realizes that this is not right and helps you against the Aldmeri Dominion by giving you documents throughout the story of troop movements, armories and/or prisons. You also find other refugee camps that join your cause and some that betray you and try to kill you.
Stormcloak side:
You and Ulfric Stormcloak discover rumors of the Aldmeri Dominion sending a group of elf assassins after you and him. As you and Ulfric head to a secret bunker in The Rift. As you get closer to your destination, you are ambushed by an unknown enemy. You, Ulfric and a couple other soldiers try to fend off the enemies but you're soldiers are getting killed left and right. You and Ulfric are left standing, you tell Ulfric to run as you are distracting the enemies. You turn around and see Ulfric escape on a horse that was by the road. Shortly after, you are hit with an arrow that has a paralysis poisoned arrow and fall to the ground unconscious. You soon wake up in a prison cell bolted down to a metal chair. You're interrogated by a Thalmor agent saying that the rumors you heard are true and that the attack on Skyrim is soon to come. Weeks go by as you are still in your prison cell. The same Thalmor agent comes to your cell and tells you that the attack has been commenced and the Nine holds are being put to the sword as we speak. Soonly after the agent leaves, you hear the slashing of a blade and see the Thalmor agents head rolling in front of the cell door. You see Delphine and Esbern in front of the cell door trying to open it. As they fail several times to pick the lock, Esbern uses a new spell to open the door. You, Delphine and Esbern exchange a few words before they release you from the metal chair. You, Delphine, Esbern and a couple other Blades escape from the Thalmor prison and return to Karthspire. (After this point it will basically follow the same path as the ragtag army, defeats, etc, etc.)
Any opinions?
