Things left to really discuss:


 * Who rules Skyrim? (personally I believe even if the stormcloaks are sided with, by the time the next game comes he will be dead, and if the Empire were to win, Elisif isnt going to be voted in by the kingmoot to rule)


 * The Stormcloaks can only win the civil war if they have help from the mythilogical creature of legend, the Dragonborn, but by extension, the Empire would have already won, had Alduin not appeared.


 * What the hell happened to the knights of the nine? (not on topic I just really wanna know)


 * If the Empire loses the Civil war, would it be beneficial to keep sending troops to reclaim Skyrim? or simply let them go. Dialog between Galmar and Ulfric suggests they tried to get High Rock on their side and they refused, so could they be faced with Empire soldiers on both fronts?


 * If the Empire is as weak and "dead" as some would have us believe why have the Dominion not swooped in for the final killing blow? Instead they instigate discord within the Empire ranks by using parties.


 * If all decisions made are canon, than Paarthurnax is dead, meaning the Dragons will only Listen to the Dragonborn, and thus giving them a reason to leave (they had to lead the dragons away from the mainland) with the Dragonborn gone, does the otherside use this to their advantage and swoop in to retake Skyrim?


 * Speaking of Canon, since some people believe that the Dragonborn is a Nord Warrior who follows the Stormcloaks, based only on the fact there is a Nord as the flagship mascot for Skyrim, does that also mean they're a Vampire? Since that same Nord is depicted with red eyes in the Dawnguard DLC? This could mean no matter which side wins, its perpetual Darkness within Skyrim, which cant be good for crops....


 * Winterhold's demise was like 80 years ago, conjure up a hammer and fix that shit...


 * Anyone know what happens to prisoners of war? Imperials could be sent back to Cyrodiil, but Stormcloaks? You'd have to kill them to keep them from attacking you again wouldnt you?

Take your pick or start your own......
 * Who has the Elder Scrolls? Are they accessible to either faction? How does this change the outcome of the war?
 * How mad would you be to find out in the next game, the Civil War is still going on?
 * Does your adopted son or daughter inherit your title as Thane(s) along with your lands and riches when you disappear? Could this mean that after the Dragonborn inevitably leaves, he/she is leaving behind an heir with a ton of mythical artifacts / daedric weaponry and armor and suchfighting for a specific faction (I've often heard My Dragonborn's Son Hroar mention he wants to join the Legion.) ((Side note: I only adopt Hroar because his love intrest is Mjoll the Lioness, and I think it's adorable for them to have a Son named Hroar... "you know.. like the sound a Lion makes"))
