@Thedoucheinthenorth, How does Ulfric have the most legitimate claim to the throne, he only says that he killed the king in honorable combat how do we know he's not lying? Also once again you can't blame the entire Empire just because one Imperial Captain was a bitch to you, that would be like hating every black person on the face of the planet because one is an ass to you, it's just not right. And once again the Dunmer can't gain any respect because Ulfric will not let them Ulfric is in fact the one who forces them to live in their poorly condition falling apart district in Windhelm, also as I've stated before Argonians cannot earn their place in Windhelm because Ulfric won't let them in. Also the Dunmer do in fact have the right to remain neutral if they want, that would be like in World War I if people were racist against Americans because our country wanted to remain neutral, some people don't want to sustain heavy losses to their people and you know what? That's perfectly fine, the Dunmer don't want to shed blood when no blood need be shed. Also Ulfric does follow the philosophy of "If you're not with us you're against us" and people who follow that philosophy usually end up as tyrants if they weren't already, case in point Ulfric attemped the usurp the Jarl of Whiterun even though he wasn't on the side of the Empire, Ulfric only attacked Whiterun because Balgruuf wasn't on his side, the idea of "If you're not with us you're against us" is never under any circumstances a good idea to follow because all you'll end up doing in the end is irritating people needlesly..
