@Thedoucheinthenorth I'm not going to lie, I do somewhat like Ulfric but if you're unpredictable with your actions like the Anon said it's probably not best to be in charge of a nation or province in this case. If you want to be a leader with that much responsibility consistency is key most of the time.

Also as the Anon said if Ulfric had simply talked to Torygg and asked him to secede from the Empire he probably would've done so and not only that the Empire would've likely allowed them to leave peacefully and maintain a good relationship via trade and support, but Ulfric jumped the gun and went straight to killing Torygg and plunging Skyrim into an uneeded war. Just because Ulfric was under a lot of stress and was ignorant of Torygg's respect for him does not justify the killing in any way whatsoever, in fact if anything else it just makes it less so because it means that Ulfric allows his emotions to dictate his actions when it comes to matters like this.
