Does it seem to anyone else that Bethesda wants you to against the Empire in the beginning? I mean, you start of with poor whimpering people, are almost separated from your head because a bloodthirsty woman Imperial won't give you the benefit of the doubt, and all the Stormcloaks seem so sweet and harmless. I mean, its almost like some Stormcloak supporter hacked the system. If you didn't know Ulfric, you might side with him as well, because Tullius comes across as gruff. I almost went Stormcloak, then visited the Grey Quarter and met Elisif the Fair. His niceness seems to wear off in the face of these atrocities. I would not want someone like that to be ruling the land of my people. No sir.
