The civil war in Skyrim is the most pointless war in all story of RPGs. While we can all agree religious freedom is a noble pursuit, Ulfric could have fought specifically the Thalmor if that’s all he wanted. But no, it's totally the Empire who's the disgusting ones here. The Empire didn’t ban the worship of Talos, the Thalmor did, there's a huge difference there. It wasn’t the Empire's Idea. Ulfric has misplaced angst towards the Empire, causing the deaths of thousands and fueling Alduin’s power, instead of fighting off just the Thalmor. Those siege weapons could have been aimed at the Thalmor Embassy, not the city of Whiterun. Skyrim deserves better than Ulfric. Hammerfell didn’t agree with the Empire either but they didn’t start killing Imperials or standing on soap boxes claiming they no longer needed the Empire, they just kept fighting the Thalmor.
