Me doing a character analysis on Ulfric since people seem to just be repeating now:

Ulfric has the mentality of a child. When he was little he went to live in an isolated mountain home when he couldn't talk, if he went outside he would probably get attacked by a frost troll, and we can pretty much see Arngeir's stubborn influence in Ulfric. He's easily manipulated, he waged a full battle in Markarth with aftereffects still visible today over a god he wasn't smart enough to worship in private like everyone else, including the highfamily. Suddenly he's in a position of power, controling an entire hold. With his mindset he's fixated on Talos, since there was a statue of him right outside his home as a child, can't seperate his personal beliefs from politics(racism), and he's a terrible military leader, you can tell just from the fact that he has one tactic, relies on brute strength and was about to die by the time the game started.

He's fixated on old Nordic beliefs. He challenged Torygg to a duel in which only about three people in Solitude actually understood. Right before he even lets you join the army he sends you to do another Nordic trial, killing an ice wraith at an ancient landmark. Walk back and he says to go find a crown that means basically nothing now, but of course it meant alot in acient times(When there likely wasn't enough dead dragons lying around to make armor for the dragonborn and a friend). He never wears the crown after he gets it back and then decides to wage an attack on the then neutral city of Whiterun on an unexplained delivery of an axe, then spouts off something about "True Nords."

Then that thing with the no mages dawns on me while writing this that it might be more of Arngeir's infulence since he freaking hates mages. He's like Arngier's son, even has the same amount of friends.

Note: Tullius doesn't order your execution, its the only other female legate in the legion. He finds a guy in a town running with Stormcloak leaders. The excuse you come up with is, "I was only crossing the border". Darkwater crossing is a long walk from the border, you did talk with all the other criminals like you've known eachother so long when you were in that wagon, and suddenly a dragon bursts in and saves your arse.'' Litterally none of that seems suspisious to anyone if it didn't happen to all be a great coincidence? It's a wonder he doesn't hire those bounty hunters who seem so good at tracking people across the country.''
