I have little doubt Ulfric would have won, considering his background, just in my opinion trying to have Skyrim secede peacefully should have been the primary objective. Final things, sorry.

I said parts of them in game, they would likely be much higher in universe, yes, but you're proving my point that siege weapons wouldn't really be needed. I just saw no reason to use catapults, maybe from a gameplay standpoint to make it feel more epic(which I feel it kinda fails at since I think we both know the size of the battles. :P), but in universe I saw little reason to use them, but if they had something like what you described, now THAT would be cool. I was just curious, because you have to at least consider they had to develop a game for relatively ancient hardware, from that standpoint I understand the cities being in different cells, I was just wondering if you though it was possible to merge them at least just for this one quest. And yeah, I wish they had more time to develop the game, like all those unfinished and startable but uncompleteable quests. But in this day and age where games are getting near prohibitively expensive I understand having to release it when it did. Since if the reports are true Skyrim cost a fortune to develop, and they had no way of knowing if it would sell as well as it did. And the "pc master race" thing's a bit of a joke obviously, what with a decently powered machine out performing consoles. It's just you're a pc gamer and all, sorry if I insulted you.

You'll have to excuse me as I am not aware of the average family size in medieval Europe, but it sounds close at least, if that means anything. Well, the Battle-Borns are moderately high up on the social ladder, this being medieval times and all, I'm not really surprised. :P But also keep in mind a lot of people died during the war, so there aren't as many to reproduce to begin with, so you would typically need at least two generations to almost or fully repopulate.

Yeah, in hindsight I feel like a broken record too. Sorry about that. And yes, religion usually helps guide us as a general moral compass, but making it organized and mixing it with law and/or devoting you're entire life taking it completely literally usually doesn't end well, the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages, heresy executions, crusades, etc. The Middle East today, not that my country's involvement is helping any, religious/social authorities arresting women because they aren't properly dressed and trying to push girls back into a burning building because they weren't properly dressed, radical Muslims, etc. There are plenty of case of religion doing good, and plenty of cases of it doing bad, it just requires a modest approach in my opinion.
