Poll: Empire or Stormcloak?

[Sandernista]

Empire, they are the only hope of stopping the Aldmeri Dominion from conquering all of Tamriel.

Plus the Stormcloaks are Nazis.

 

[gregitaly]

The Empire is led by Saul Tigh. The choice was obvious for me.

 

[Anthony Abney]

I was going to join the Empire, but then I found out about the banning of Talos worship and that gatekeeper that they executed in Solitude said that Ulfric challenged the King to a duel and won and that the Empire branded him a murderer rather than respect the customs of Skyrim, so I decided that they don't deserve power in Skyrim anymore.

 

[Kyle 2175]

I sided with the Empire right from the start. While they are a bit morally murky, the Stormcloaks started the war in the first place, and I prefer to be on the side that aren't axe crazy.

 

[BlackSaint09]

Lets be honest here...
Since i completed the dark brotherhood questline HOW THE F@&^ WOULD IT MAKE SENSE TO JOIN THE IMPERIAL LEGION NOW?!!!!!!!?
Stormcloaks if only because they didnt try to chop off my head.

 

[BlackSaint09]

Neither. I'm the G-damned Dovhakiin. I'm busy with higher powers.

Amen to that though.

 

[major_chaos]

I was going to join the Stormcloaks but when I got to Windhelm the first thing I overhear is something along the lines of "damn filthy dark elves cant be trusted" which was just the final straw, so I decide to join the empire just for a chance to kill some of these racist pricks

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Not joined either at the moment. I was going to join The Stormcloaks until I got to Windhelm and saw what pricks could be. Not seen any reason to join the empire, what with them nearly killing me and the fact their sucking up to the Thalmor who have already sent a few hit squads my way.

 

[Mustang678]

I instantly went Empire and didn't really even consider Stormcloak an option. The Empire has done a lot of good for Skyrim and the rebels never really gave me a convincing argument to make up for their xenophobia and child murderer of a leader
I find the Empire's peace agreement with the Thalmor to be a lot less offensive than most of the Stormcloak voters seem to think. Everyone knows there'll be another war; the Empire just had to buy some time to recover. The Stormcloaks stand no chance against them without a united Empire either. Sometimes solutions are more complicated than murdering a kid

Made more sense to me as a lawful good warrior too

 

[Zorg Machine]

I have not gotten very far but so far, I am with the stormcloaks. As an elf Mage, I hate those xenophobic douchebags but so far they haven't done anything worse than trying to kill me so the empire is more evil in my eyes...if that were to change I'm probably still stuck with The stormcloaks as I have already killed a few imperials.

 

[Dasmaster]

In my case the choice was made for me. I dont feel like helping some ponce that tried to cut my head of for picking flowers in there back yard only because it was a Friday and some rebels happened to have a picnic nearby.

 

[Kris015]

I've played it for like.. A lot of hours know, but I have no idea what they stand for and who's the good guys. Therefore I refuse to take a side

 

[spartan231490]

I plan to join the stormcloaks, I'm a freedom fighter at heart. I haven't yet, cuz I've mostly been bombing around finding shouts and doing dark brotherhood, but once I start advancing the main quest again I will also join the stormcloaks.

 

[newwiseman]

I've released all the stormcloacks being marched to their execution, but I haven't even began to care about the factions.

It's taking way too much time just to get all the Dragon words that aren't in dungeons.

 

[deckai]

Well... that actually really changes my mind about who to side with. I mean... that kind ruins one of the reasons I would have sided with the Stormcloaks over the Empire.

Well, keep in mind, that's what I discovered so far, I haven't played trough, so maybe there are things that change that. That's why I still haven't decided on who to support in the end.

Yakob: Filthy xenos scum! (raises sword)

Deckai: But I'm one of you!

(Caught between Imperial born revulsion of the alien and cold hard logic, Yakob's swing misses and only manages to lop off his own head)

Hehe ;D

 

[IamLEAM1983]

Looks like the poll got snarfed, if there was one to begin with.

I rolled Stormcloak, because the Imperials damn well condemned me to death for being a lowly and unimportant Skooma pusher straight out of Blackmarsh. I can't go back to Cyrodiil or Hammerfell (outstanding warrants on my ass), and I'm a scrawny-ass Argonian who's only beginning to get a grasp on decent pickpocketing, assassination and archery.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, even if my friend is an ultra-nationalist asshole with just about no tolerance for the likes of me.

Besides, if I play my cards right, maybe I'll be able to *ahem* step in as Ulfric's interim commander... Then, using the fact that I'm shaping up to be quite the silver tongue as well, all I'll have to do is steer whatever crazy plans they might have in mind into cold, stinking failure.

I mean, I'm a cutpurse, and the Thieves' Guild really doesn't fit with my personal ethos. I figure I'll just sit back and enjoy whipping a bunch of pelt-wearing Neanderthals into a frenzy. I might angle them for the Summerset Isles and watch the chaos unfold, when all is said and done.

(yes, that was obviously in character)
