I respect your ideals, and your commitment to your empire.

but let me post some skype logs where I had a conversation about this (note the language is not exactly child friendly) :

At this point I was talking about how the empire sold out hammerfell for no reason whatsoever and they did better against the dominion without the empire:

[6/4/2013 12:25:26 PM] Titanusaurus (Tag) Ross[me]: Hammerfell is free of all dominion control

[6/4/2013 12:26:11 PM] Titanusaurus (Tag) Ross: they were able to get a ceasefire with the dominion that didn't need them to give up a large portion and give up a god

[6/4/2013 12:26:13 PM] [Friend's name redacted]: [redacted insult on my intelligence] If the greater legion couldn't take the dominion, there's absolutely no reason to believe a portion of it could.

[6/4/2013 12:27:43 PM] Titanusaurus (Tag) Ross: it's just that the Imperial legion no longer works, that's all it is, the way they're doing things is hurting them, and not just in battle, politically they're turning to shit, and the redguards are proving to be their better in the field of battle as well

then onto a possible turn in power within the empire:

[6/4/2013 12:28:40 PM] Titanusaurus (Tag) Ross: well, the mede dynasty is over, so the next game has a higher chance of having a not shit empire

[6/4/2013 12:28:48 PM] [Friend's name redacted]: Or no empire.

[6/4/2013 12:29:56 PM] Titanusaurus (Tag) Ross: well, if they can come to some agreement with skyrim they might be able to not be utter shit.

[6/4/2013 12:30:02 PM] [Friend's name redacted]: Also, Titus Mede II wasn't that bad a guy.

[6/4/2013 12:30:11 PM] Titanusaurus (Tag) Ross: no, he wasn't

[6/4/2013 12:30:24 PM] Titanusaurus (Tag) Ross: but the way the empire was going needed to change

[6/4/2013 12:30:29 PM] [Friend's name redacted]: Mmm.

[6/4/2013 12:30:38 PM] Titanusaurus (Tag) Ross: and with someone else on the throne it has a better chance of that

[6/4/2013 12:31:02 PM] [Friend's name redacted]: Maybe. MAYBE.

[6/4/2013 12:31:13 PM] Titanusaurus (Tag) Ross: but it also has a chance of getting worse

[6/4/2013 12:32:09 PM | Edited 12:32:54 PM] Titanusaurus (Tag) Ross: we're gonna have to wait another... I'mma guess 4-6 years tll the next game comes out with the answers to these questions
