This is a good blog and I just want to elaborate on one point. The "Stormcloaks are racist." This is so hilarious in the fact that it's not true. I will elaborate on this.

1. I know I'm going a tiny bit off-topic, but when people say that all Nords are racist, the only real racist I see is Rolff Stone-Fist, the brother of Galmar Stone-Fist, who throws racist insults at the Argonians and the Dunmer, so he's the only real racist Nord that I have seen in-game.

2. Now I will talk about how the Stormcloaks are not racist. They are NATIONALIST in the sense that they want to protect their home country and, hey, that's fine with me. What I'm trying to say is that they're basically patriots and they want to secede from the Empire.

3. And now the argument where the Stormcloaks only accept Nords. This is not true and there is in-game evidence to support this. Let's say your character is a different race than a Nord, let's say a High Elf, the most hated race in Skyrim. When signing up for the Stormcloaks Galmar Stone-Fist will ask your character "But first, tell me. Why's an Elf want to fight for Skyrim?" You may be thinking "Oh, he's racist" but that's not true because your character gets the option to ask him if they only accept Nords. Galmar Stone-Fist will then say "You mistake me. I'm not saying no - just wondering about your intentions. We're not looking for sellswords. The Stormcloaks need dedicated men and women who're devoted to the cause and willing to die for it."

What I am trying to say is that Galmar Stone-Fist basically says that any race can join the Stormcloaks if they want to make Skyrim independent and he doesn't care what race you are, he just cares if you want to fight for Skyrim's freedom, so I think the Stormcloaks don't only accept Nords, even if the only High Elf or Breton in the Stormcloaks is your character, so that is all I am trying to say and Praise Talos!
