I can actually agree there. From what I know, when it comes to choosing between two possible sides in ES, none of them usually have been made into canon. Like when you chose sides in the East Empire Company questline in Morrowind:Bloodmoon. If they were to pick a side and make it canon, there will be a lot of people who picked the other side who will feel disappointed or even upset. So when they are going to write the future ES lore, they will most likely either try to work both sides in or exclude them at all. But even so, I would not say this thread is for nothing. Because...

Well, I wouldnt really expect anyone to actually switch sides or anything drastic like that after reading through a forum post. But it is useful to maybe bridge a few gaps, and try and remove some of the blind hatred. Hopefully people can at least walk away from this and have a better excuse to choose the side they do, and not just say "The Empire tried to kill me in the beginning so screw them" or "Ulfric killed the High King in cold blood so he deserves to die"

For instance, me perosnally, I will never change my stance

But I can still spar with Snowcat, and the two of us can come to a better understanding of eachother's side.

Who knows? maybe come TES:VI we might be able to look back on this forum and yell "I totally called it!". Some people repeatedly spamming links notwithstanding, this has been one of the more civil of the conversations I've seen when discussing this topic.

...this. All of this. Well said, buddy! Well said! ^_^ *claps*

I wouldn't blame the thread for all the Empire supporters. Its just a lot of people from the wiki itself. But so what? More opponents means more fun. :)
