@Blademaster Jauffre

You just spoke everything, In most of my characters, I don't even join either side because you get NOTHING of reward and it doesn't really changes the game. I only ever did the civil war on my primary imperial character, a orc berserker character and a nord (I wanted to see how the stormcloak questline was with this nord) Also, you could very well make a character that (RP) supports the Thalmor, but Bethesda doesn't wants you to support the Thalmor so you must steal something from the embassy, free a prisoner from a Thalmor Fort, and you can't even join  them (without console commands or mods anyway) as far as I know, the only quest that you can help the Thalmor is the one that Ondolemar gives you and A New Source of Stalhrim. And almost every quest that involves the Thalmor, they are the enemies (EX: Siege on the Dragon Cult and College of Winterhold).

PS: I hate the Thalmor, but I think we should have the opportunity to join them by legit ways.
