I really wished there were a way to progress in the storyline without needing to put up with Delphine. She acts so snide and self-assured that I'd have been much happier just knocking her out after she hands over the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller and sticking the rest of it out with the greybeards.

I see everyone saying "Empire good :)! Stormcloaks Bad >:(!" But I can't bring myself to agree. Honestly, the Empire and Solitude in general just present such a horrid first impression: ("I said, NEXT. PRISONER." "You Nords and your bloody sense of honor..." "My scrying suggests nothing suspicious in the area." "Let's just say we all have confidence in General Tullius' leadership." "Oh, a pair of drunken imperials who thought they were above the law.") I can't bring myself to support the Empire in Skyrim. They feel too... soulless.
