Alright, I favor using Dunmer & Khajiit throughout my games, and if anyone else uses the Khajiit characters you'll know what im talking about. The stormcloaks generally abuse them calling them 'Cats' or saying 'Youll make a nice rug'. The only problem with joining the stormcloaks is that anyone who isn't a nord feels out of place. Whilst joining the empire, it is openly stated in the orcs description that they are soldiers of the empire. Also there is an Altmer legate and you can find plenty of Dunmer/Bosmer/Argonian soldiers. The point im getting at is that if you play as the Empire they support mainly: Imperials, Nords, Bretons & Orcs If you could play as the Thalmor they would mainly support: Altmer, Dunmer, Khajiit and Argonian. Then left over is the Stormcloaks And The Alik'r who both believe in one race supremacy. And that is the reason i sided with the empire.
