User blog comment:The Usual Thinker/Which side did you choose and why?/@comment-1080767-20120224041419

Being a Breton in-game, I have a desire to side with the Stormcloaks because a xenophobic Skyrim with a long history with High Rock would likely wrench the border free from Elven influences and create peace in the immediate area. The only issuea I have are the much unneeded bloodshed as well as Ulfric Stormcloak. But I still have yet to decide, and there are reasons for both. On another account, I sided with the Imperials, restoring some strength in the Empire, maybe enough to reiterate the rights of men to the Altmer and accept the risk of violent response. If the Empire can be revitalized, the united power of humanity can collectively reclaim its glory, perchance to again bring about the civilized, glorious life of a welcoming, Imperial society.
