Unjoining the Stormcloacks

Post » Wed Jun 06, 2012 12:36 pm

I joined the Stormcloacks and just destroyed Whiterun. But I didn't know it would happen, and I don't wanted to do it. Is there anyway to "rewind" all these quests from the Stormcloacks and join the Imperials instead?

Thanks Everyone

Load an earlier save.

It doesn't matter though, it gets wrecked in either side's battle. Only difference is which jarl rules it afterwords.

I never joined the stormcloaks since I always go with the legion but I can say that either way Whiterun will get trashed a bit.

The only problem I really have with joining the Stormcloaks is being forced to betray Whiterun in order to proceed (since you MUST complete MQ Before the Storm, Bleak Falls Barrow, and Dragon Rising, thereby becoming Balgruuf's friend and thane and a hero of Whiterun... and then turn around and give Balgruuf the message from Windhelm...)

The battle of whiterun is the cutoff point for switching sides, if you have a save prior to taking the quest for it though you can switch from there :happy:

When you join with the stormcloaks you're not betraying the people in Whiterun. The man who's truly responsible for betraying Whiterun is the Jarl himself. Theirs no secret that he has a bad temper and it took the best of him when he decided to play the "I'm a better warrior then you" game with Ulfric. Instead of thinking of his people his hatred for Ulfric came first. I don't know why people feel bad about rebuilding Whiterun because it was being run by the wrong people.

Oh and Balgruuf making you thane of Whiterun was mere payment for helping to defeat a dragon. It had nothing to do with friendship. You still had to pay for the house (6800 in total which includes all of the upgrades) include a very annoying housecarl that doesn't even want to be there.

An addition Balgruuf has a very disrespectful housecarl,Irileth, who comes up running to the dragonborn with her weapon drawn in a highly disrespectful manner. Is that a nice way to welcome a visitor?

I put a little twist into all this war bussines.
Sure i joined the Stormcloaks, but that does not make me a racist. The reason why i joined the Stormcloaks is because i think it will become the best for all the people (not just the nords). If the Empire takes over Skyrim that will mean the Thalmor will be allowed to do whatever they want with it...and the Thalmor are no nice people to all the other races but the high elves. So in rp, my character fears that and decided to join with the stormcloaks. That is just my view of it ofcourse...why should i care if somebody joins the Legion in a single player game? I'm quite sure everybody is allowed to pick whatever side they want to.

It doesn't matter which side You choose, either way there is going to be war.
Sometimes I think people take this game to seriously.

OP's question has been answered.

Please close this topic. It's going to be another Empire Vs Stormcloaks all over again.

Stormcloaks in general aren't racist. Ulfric isn't either if you picture it all together. The fact to the matter is that the empire is weak and so are the imperials. So far The empire shows little to no interests in helping the people in skyrim with the threat of the Thalmor.

Unfortunately Balgruuf doesn't see the whole picture so it's for the best that he packs his bags and move to the basemant of the Blue Palace in Solitude.

I think this thread is getting off topic, the OP has had his question answered. Personal opinions about stormcloaks vs legion arent really necessary here.

Unfortunately the Ulfric's Rebellion reached even the forums. His agents are spreading propaganda all over this place.

Eeeh i have to agree with the rest though, i prefer avoiding pointless flame wars.
The OP got an answer, i don't think that there is any need to turn this into a completely different subject.

What would you call derailing a thread just to make a point?

But since we are debating anyways...
When you join with the stormcloaks you're not betraying the people in Whiterun. The man who's truly responsible for betraying Whiterun is the Jarl himself. Theirs no secret that he has a bad temper and it took the best of him when he decided to play the "I'm a better warrior then you" game with Ulfric. Instead of thinking of his people his hatred for Ulfric came first. I don't know why people feel bad about rebuilding Whiterun because it was being run by the wrong people.
Jarl Balgruuf was protecting the people of Whiterun from the ravages of the Civil War. He held his ground until remaining neutral was not an option, which is very admirable of him. He only reacted to Ulfric's threats, which is what caused him to join the Empire. Concerning the treatment of his hold and its citizens, he has done that job rather well. When faced with the threat of a dragon attack, he sent guards to protect Riverwood and readied Whiterun's defenses. That is more than Ulfric can confess, as he currently has a serial killer on the loose and is incapable of properly policing his hold. Of course, protecting the people of Windhelm would just be a consequence of his ill temper and an attempt to live up to his ego, right?
Oh and Balgruuf making you thane of Whiterun was mere payment for helping to defeat a dragon. It had nothing to do with friendship. You still had to pay for the house (6800 in total which includes all of the upgrades) include a very annoying housecarl that doesn't even want to be there.
For delivering Ulfric all of Skyrim and winning the Civil War on his behalf, you get to purchase a house for 12,000 drakes in Windhelm. That is without upgrades, mind you. I say that 6,800 including upgrades for killing a single dragon is a steal.
An addition Balgruuf has a very disrespectful housecarl,Irileth, who comes up running to the dragonborn with her weapon drawn in a highly disrespectful manner. Is that a nice way to welcome a visitor?
Well, now you are just grasping at straws. I shall humour you regardless. You see, you barged into Dragonsreach unannounced and during a crisis. Irileth's job is to protect the Jarl from any possible threats, and a heavily armed stranger coated in a layer of blood is considered a possible threat. Perhaps if they weren't in the middle of discussing the spontaneous combustion of a nearby village, they would find the time to set out some tea and sweet rolls for you.
