User blog comment:IGotsAName/Empire vs Stormcloaks... Gray & Grey Morality? Really?/@comment-4869266-20120406033949

I mostly join the empire to mess with them. First i kill the emperor for the dark brotherhood than i help with the Civil war, or vise versa. Just my way of having some extra fun.

Only reason for me to join the Stormcloaks is tullius' Armor. If not for that i would never join them.

also leaving helgen with the empire dude, gives you free steel and iron ingots in riverwood since hes related to the blacksmith. Siding with the Stormcloak however, gets you bumpkiss.

Since the only perk of being a Stormcloak is Tullius armor, i say Empire all the way.
