The civil war was good, not great. The best part about it was its moral ambiguity, there was no right or wrong path, each side had their own strengths and weaknesses. Even though I support the Imperials in almost every playthrough I do (I find their security and ideas are far superior to the Stormcloaks) I could have easily of joined the Stormcloaks and though that I did the right thing. It made us choose the best of two neutral options, that part was brilliant. Other high points where the defence of, or attack of Whiterun. The final quest was also great

The rest of the questline was substandard, generic assault missions and fetch quests plagued this questline and where a chore to do, as with almost everything in Skyrim there was severe role playing problems, esspecially when compared to Bethesda's previous game; Fallout 3.

Overall it was good, not great.
