What if the Stormcloak questline becomes canon and the DB ends up leading this new force out of Skyrim to overthrow the remnants of the Empire while creating his own new Imperial rule as well as acting as a major challange for the dominion? I mean sure, the Stormcloaks aren't THAT strong, but with the Dragonborn leading the charge they'd be pretty formidable. In my opinion, one DB = 1000 Altmer warriors, plus with the Bend Will shout enamies could quickly be turned into brainwashed allies, meaning the Altmer could be left to fight and defeat themselves while the DB sits atop White Gold Tower with a glass of wine and a brand spanking new corwn on his head wacthing the dominion fall apart from the inside.

I guess maybe all of that's a pretty easy way of thinking things, but who knows, maybe the next game will take place after the great war rather than during it and the new PC is under orders from the newly crowned DB Emperor to wipe out what's left of the dominion on the Summerset Isles/Alinor. well the DB doesnt have anything against the thalmor, the thalmor as well as everyone else are clients of the DB, besides it doesnt have to be the stormcloaks, the DB dont involve themselves in war. and i dont think the DB are that powerful, i mean, it's just a werewolf, a 10 year old vampire, a jester, an old guy, a black guy, a dark elf, a lizard, and astrid, they all were killed by the penitus occulatus.... so, yeah. Dude, canon Dragonborn is a Nord, he's seen people whose lives were ruined by the Thalmor, he's seen people who were left in a pit to die because of the Thalmor. He even found Balor's blade, one of the surviving Blade who risked his life to protect Talos and his rule as a Dragonborn emperor, even though it was just a statue. The canon Dragonborn might've grown corrupt, however he did see how the thalmor screwed everything up... and as such he would have gladly fought against the Thalmor in memory of all those people, for the gold, or for just the sheer bloodshed.
