I thought the conflict was portrayed rather nicely in terms of morality. Unlike most stories today, where Rebels are couragous people who wish for freedom from a corrupt and evil government, Skyrim portrayed both sides as both good with serious flaws (Stormcloaks only care for Nord freedom and the Empire can easily be interpreted as weak and ineffective) and I respect that Bethesda accomplished the feeling of deep consideration on your side in a truely gray conflict.
