You know, after all the different points of view on this thread (and given my playthrough of this game in an Assassin's Creed style) I incline more and more on the perspective of joining the Empire. Why, you may ask? Not because I believe in their cause, mind you. The peace both sides offer for Skyrim is one involving unnecessary harm to innocents and criminals alike, but as they refuse to look upon the menace of Alduin I can't help but feel my work, even as Dragonborn, utterly worthless. Despite the evident corruption, Bethesda did an amazing job an not only giving us a quest looking for the freedom of a land from the impending dragon menace before them, but also one where the land we fight for and the people in it have their differences and their conflicts, of which not all can be solved. I do long, however, for that possibility of choosing an own, third side, rather than having to play both sides when possible.
