I was rather content with letting the forum die as well...

The glaring hole in the argument "it's in the code" is the fact its not in the game. It doesnt matter what they original plan may have been, thats not what they delivered. And you can't say its because theye didnt have the time, they had plenty of time after wards to patch or DLC the content back in, but they didnt. So, COOL! GOOD FOR YOU! you know of an alternate alpha version of Skyrim that involved you specifically working for the Stormcloaks, and Elisif dying, and yatta yatta yatta. somewhere along the timeline they said "this is dumb, we should give the players a choice" and thus, worked on and finished quests where you could CHOOSE which side. There was enough support within the dev team for them to literally scrap already made portions of the game in favor of allowing people to side with the Empire. The fact that some of these unfinished content even have voice acting accompany it just means it got pretty far before they realized it was a MISTAKE.


 * What does  Wuuthrad have to do with anything? Where is it stated the Dragonborn MUST weild  Wuuthrad? How is this evidence?

* By your own logic that the flagship nordic figure we see in the trailer is the "real" dragonborn, he's also a vampire lord, who plunges Skyrim into darkness, and has vampirism run rampant and nearly unchecked. I dunno if the Stormcloaks would want to associate themselves with a "hero" who causes such damage to the country theyre trying to save.
