By that logic, why believe anything any NPC says? Simple: Bethesda took the time to program him to say it and paid a voice-actor to say the lines. They wouldn't have done it without reason.

And besides, is it really such a crazy thing to believe that the Empire would want to defend itself against a Dominion invasion? We shouldn't automatically believe everything anyone ingame says or whats in books just cause Bethesda put it in.

They've put plenty of blatantly false things in the game for characters to say and also in books.

Yes, given how the empire has gone out of it's way to accomodate the Dominion/Elves at every turn in the past, it is very hard to believe they would want to defend themselves against an AD invasion.

I'm sure that if the Dominion simply asks for say High Rock, the mede empire will be all to pleased to hand it over all in the name of avoiding war.
