All this time in Skyrim, with the province that he is supposed to govern and protect...and he couldn't be fucking bothered to learn a smidge about the culture? It didn't matter that I lost about 3 levels I went straight back to the earliest save I could and gave the crown staight to Ulfric. A jerk Tullius may be, but Ulfric is even worse. He is a hypocritical, lazy, racist, egotistic, greedbag who uses his charisma to gain power for himself. Though the Stormcloak cause is somewhat honorable, their leader is not. Best ending for me: kill ulfric, hijack his rebelion, then create a treaty with the Imperials, that will allow us to both work together and prepare for the final battle with the Thamlmor. After that Skyrim becomes an independant nation, keeps a close bond with the Empire, and helps them to restabalize a war-torn Tamriel. Done. End of story (though it would be a bit difficult, since I almost ALWAYS play as an orc)
