This isn't the empire Talos founded.

Well, it is the offspring of it. The later version of someone/something is never exactly the same. The Stormcloaks fight an empire that was first founded by the person that the Stormcloaks use, and they think it is different, but that I not the case. Many people pass on religion to their biological children, and they keep it, and so many people in The Empire still are Talos worshipers, so in essence, it is a very similar Empire as the Septim one. As for The contributor's point (50.190.125.182), I agree completely. I wish that there was a third option, like that, but there isn't. I also agree that Bethesda will make it so Skyrim is probably destroyed.
