The Beautiful Princess Ashley wrote: one of the reasons i side with the empire is because ulfric is a power hungry warmonger. he claims to fight for religious freedom, but this is nonsense, as he did not allow the Forsworn their religious freedom. he claims to fight for the people of skyrim, but this is also bullshit, for if he loved skyrim, he wouldn't tear it apart with a civil war. he's only waging this war to become high king.

I don't care his motives. Whether if because he felt he lost his honor after being captured and tortured by Elenwen, surrendered secrets to the enemy or not, whether if he believe that by continually telling himself that he is fighting for the people of Skyrim and actually acting upon it can restore his honor - This is just semi-trolling assumptions on basis of what I learn about the Nord Culture and Ulfric's portfolio.

I Don't Care. I don't care if the Imperials were too proud to give up the hollow title of being center of the Empire of Tamriel or they are afraid that losing Hammerfell follow by Skyrim will make them look weak which resulted in being attacked by the Aldmeri Dominion and they won't have Redguards and Nords to help them fight off Altmer, Khajiit and Bosmers.

I don't care what is their motives. No matter what it is, what excuses one can give me. To me, Skyrim's Civil War is a complete waste of time. In fact this is too much effort spent on this topic. 95% of the time in my Skyrim, I make decisions based on preparing a private army to join the war against the Aldmeri Dominion.
