However, Ulfric, the Nordic embodiment of greed, egotism, and manipulation of others, is 40 times worse in every way. Frankly... It's by no means an excuse for her, but she is young, and her husband was just killed, and I dont think the Wives of Jarls are typically trained on how to actually run the hold. So instead, her steward handles most of the day to day and Tullius is focusing on the war and minor resource management. Her dialog suggests she at least has some idea on what needs to be done but also that it doesnt take much convinceing to sway her one way or another. So bottom line, Yeah I kinda agree she shouldnt be High Queen, but I also don't think the Kings moot would really choose her to be the next leader. My vote is for Balgruuf who was mostly neutral during the whole Civil War leading up to when the dragonborn got involved. He's a strong Nord who understands the old Nordic customs, his Housecarl is a Dunmer, his Steward is an Imperial ,and he's open minded to things like Magic. Good point. Though I think that Balgruff may lack the exact leadership skills, he checks out everywhere else (he cares about Skyrim's people, he is kind, loyal, and intellegent, and he isn't a racist prick like Ulfric). However, while I am uncertain about him being High King, he would most deffinitely make a great advisor.
