I'm almost sure in TES 6 there will only be a book saying "A civil war ocurred in Skyrim but it ended after a short but terrible war" and all this threads will be for nothing. Well, I wouldnt really expect anyone to actually switch sides or anything drastic like that after reading through a forum post. But it is useful to maybe bridge a few gaps, and try and remove some of the blind hatred. Hopefully people can at least walk away from this and have a better excuse to choose the side they do, and not just say "The Empire tried to kill me in the beginning so screw them" or "Ulfric killed the High King in cold blood so he deserves to die"

For instance, me perosnally, I will never change my stance on siding with the empire, and ultimately, having played through the whole series, working for the Empire, taking pride in the Empire, and the Dragonborn lore being so closely tied to the empire it'll always feel wrong killing imperial soldiers. No rational argument is going to change that. But I can still spar with Snowcat, and the two of us can come to a better understanding of eachother's side.

Who knows? maybe come TES:VI we might be able to look back on this forum and yell "I totally called it!". Some people repeatedly spamming links notwithstanding, this has been one of the more civil of the conversations I've seen when discussing this topic.
