Ive been thinking on it, and I agree with many of you here. The empire just isnt the same. Thanks to th Thalmor, belief in Talos has been wiped out, and Skyrim LOVES Talos, so that wasn't a wise move. Near every province has evicted itself from the empire, and withe the completion of my civil war quest, Skyrim is now independant too. The Empire is crumbling, falling down a very long hill, and those Thalmor are up to something. So, I would say that the emipre has it coming, and the stormcloaks at least have a little more time to prepare for a thalmor invasion.
