Honestly the civil war was pretty horrid for me to play through. Nothing happened. The battles of White Run and Windhelm/Solitude were anticlimactic, with no major consequences to the world, and spaced between damn repetitive "do this, clear the fort" missions. Part of the failure was the writing, neither Ulfric or Tullius captivated me. Neither truly gave a sense of urgency. Neither made me want to finish the quest line, infact the only times I've done so was for the armors of the two leaders.Yea, maybe it wasn't black and white, but that didn't make it any better to play through. Fallout New Vegas's battle between Caesar's Legion and the NCR is what I expected the civil war to be like, instead you got a bunch of throw away quests with an interesting but weak story.
