You could end the Dark Brotherhood once and for, Kill Titus Mede II, possibly bring the Empire to a complete and total collaspe.

I'm just wondering if Bethesda will take proper note of your choices, unlike in Oblivion where they canonized everything choice in that the game.

Because won't it just seem absurd if the dragonborn was Thane of all the Jarls, Harbinger, Archmage, Leader of the Thieves Guild, Listener, Champion of all the Daedric Princes all at the same time?

It would just break the impression for alot of people. Assassinating the Emperor won't bring the Empire even close to collapsing. The Elder Council takes over in this kind of event concerning transition between Emperors.

Destroying the Dark Brotherhood is also a futile effort...as evil will always find a way ;)  (The Dark Brotherhoodalways seems to survive "wiped out")

Even moreso than what you're suggesting, having the Dragonborn become Emperor (or having any involvement in events aside from the Main Quests) would be totally absurd.
