User blog comment:GeneralTullius/The Fall of an Empire?/@comment-3492791-20121006174621

No, because while these are all lovely historical references, one needs to remember that this is primarily a game serise over story telling.

The Empire is a staple of the serise. It's been included in every main plot in every Elder Scrolls game, with the exeption of Skyrim. The civil war questline however, when one plays it can clearly tell at one point was going to be the main quest, but half way through the idea they abondoned it. The Empire can never "fall" because it's too cental to the serise. It would be like if half the races were just removed from the game.

Besides, you really should be so critical of your own employer Tullius. Not while the Thalmor may be listening...
