I like to see things from a more political standpoint because I grew up in an Atheist country. I never really understand relegion even as a teenager so when I learnt about the Crusades I discarded the fact that they went to war for relegion. Who would? The Thalmor are playing the political game, prolonging the Civil War using relegion as a factor to help them win. I'm for a Thalmor victory.

I had an idea some time ago. What if you could join the Thalmor. Depending on what race you would have a choice to sign up as a full-on member or a mercenary. If you were a full on member you do more political missions like persuading jarls and General Tullius to do things that help the Thalmor. What do you think?

I never thought about the fact they might not hate Talos. I just though they hate him but stopping his worship is just an added bonus. I knew about how they used that fact to drive the wedge between the Imperials and Stormcloaks but the fact they may not hate Talos is an interesting one. I like it. Hey,

Regarding your first points, though I myself grew up in a largely atheist country, I grew up around Christians, so I have had to learn to consider religion a lot when formulating thoughts. I’m not sure who I want to win. It would be interesting to see what would happen if the Thalmor did win. But I don’t think Bethesda will let that happen.

Regarding, your second points. That would have been awesome. I have played numerous Altmer characters and have always hated the fact that you couldn’t side with the Thalmor or joined them in some way. I mean the closest we were allowed to get was the mission in Markarth were you out an Talos worshiper. That always annoyed me.

Also, along that train of thought. It might also be fun if they introduced like a third party, and if the Dragonborn could like play both sides against the other. I mean not only playing of the Stromcloaks against the Empire, but also maybe playing the Empire off against the Aldmeri Dominion for a third faction, maybe.

Thanks,
