You've just gone and listed your own dragonborn's decisions... I've just essentially read your playthru.. We could all do that but it'd be off topic and it would take forever. (I could also argue that based on dialog where you bring an axe to ulfric, not knowinf Nordic customs could on its own prove you're not in fact a nord) YOUR Dragonborn sounds like he has a guilty conscience tho... a few times in real life I've found myself in the wrong place at the wrong time and questioned by police, and instead of running away and furthering the image that I'm guilty, I spoke to the police, cooperated, and was cleared with no problem. THAT is a personal expierence I can bring to my Dragonborn, He has enough honor in him that when given the second chance at life he wanted to start right by clearing his name. marching to Solitude, going over the head of the captain who didnt care about the "list" and speaking directly to the General in charge of the Imperial forces. The rest of the supposed wanted posters wouldn't have mattered. That one decision to clear your name instead of blindly following rebels vastly changes everything you layed out. If your dragonborn didn't know anything about the great war (which, you argue "logically" there would be a bounty, yet ignore that "Logically" the dialog about them knowing nothing about the great war is wrong) and didnt know anything about the civil war, you've essentially chosen to side with rebels based on nothing but the fact there was 1 imperial soldier who wouldnt listen to reason. The rest of what you say is again just complaining the game is "incomplete". However some of the things you're talking about were Omitted, which is a big difference, it means at some point in the production they wanted to add it, and way later the plans changed and it was let go. Them choosing to drop that content means the devs have decided it's not part of the lore's canon history. A lot of RPGs do this, and while it's fun to imagine how much different things WOULD be had the content been kept and used, you cannot treat it as if it's fact. I'd suggest making a topic of your own "what could have been" where to discuss such things. As for the missing holds/towns, technically it's been.. what? 600+ years since then? (im too lazy to look at the moment) enviroments change... perhaps those towns just don't exist anymore, if you NEED a lore reason... But yeah it's technically lazy Devs, theres also no ruble or remains of the oblivion gates in Skyrim either, thats just the way it is.
