User blog comment:The Usual Thinker/Which side did you choose and why?/@comment-4861795-20120222113446

Well, I joined the Stormcloaks at first...But, I must admit, they suddenly don't seem so fetching after reading your blog. Although, after finishing the quest line with the Stormcloaks, Ulfric does not just immediately take the position as high-king after defeating the Imperial army. He allows the moot to decide who will be high-king. Which tells me he is not entirely selfish and power-hungry. You do have excellent points though. Ones that I never thought about, I enjoyed it. Also, the answer as to why I joined the Stormcloak rebellion is because it bothered me that the legion rode in to Skyrim, then eventually took away the locals' faith.
