how about Tullius wins, but when he finally returns to Cyrodiil, it is in chaos. the Counts and Countess' all vie for power (that is if they make the emperors assassination canon) as well as the generals of the legions. the dominion invades again and conquers much of war torn Cyrodiil. Tullius then takes leave back to skyrim and prepares his forces for a lengthly campaign, while in the meantime the dragonborn attempts to solidify alliances with High Rock, Hammerfell and Morrowind, in order to stem the tide of Thalmor aggression. so in essence you have a Tamriel spanning game that takes months to complete. of course that is highly unlikely
