TES games are more designed around fetch quests than anything *Let us be honest, how many quests dont have you going forward, backwards, forward?* and they would never do so. You try doing so in the main story, but they just are not willing to give up. Ulfric wants to win, so does Tulius. They wont give up.

And yes. I can name you several where you can complete the game in non lethal faction.

For the third time on this blog....Deus Ex. You can at times take your way through, get rid of enemies without killing them, or just sneaking past everything.
