I see your cases. Very well put guys. As for myself, I would like to see them stay. I am rather fond of the Empire myself. (And Imperials, my favorite race) This is mostly because I have a soft spot for their Romanesque style. A style which I am a complete nerd for. :) Politically I can see the obvious downward spiral in which the Empire has been heading. Skyrim has been one the more fascinating TES games to me because it involves more political drama. Which I feel like Bethesda has been too scared to include in TES on an in depth level. The whole,"Oh, great empire that rules all lands and is ruled by a blessed god chosen dynasty," always felt sort of generic to me. In Skyrim the politics felt more real. Im getting off track, I wish for the Empire to stay. I think there is room for a story of picking the pieces up and building again. I do wish for there to be other powers present in Tamriel though. As I said, the whole, one land one Empire thing is kinda boring. I think it is at a pretty good size now, maybe see about giving Morrowind or Hammerfell a forgiveness box of chocolates mending old wounds. That way there can still be an Empire and room other peoples to rise as well. That could surely make for some interesting drama in the future.
