(Whereas in Skyrim assassinating Ulfric is right out)
I played NV before Skyrim and this really disappointed me. Ulfric was such a massive tosser to your face, but you can't do anything easy and gratifying about it.
All I wanted in Skyrim was to subdue the Empire using the Stormcloaks, and then murder the bitchy Ulfric.
I'm not knowledgeable about TES lore, but didn't the empire have two or more dragonborn emperors? Why shouldn't the Dovahnkin be free to become emperor instead?
I mean, with that ultra-forged ultra-enchanted daedric set, dual-wielding ultra-forged ultra-enchanted swords that can leech life, it's not like someone can do anything about it.
..but hey, I liked Skyrim (except the final boss was terrible. Such a buildup, such a setting, such a stupid boss).
It's just that, much like in NV, I wouldn't mind killing all the stupid people. Not my fault both sides sound stupid and self-righteous as hell - and both are willing to commit atrocious crimes.
In that scenario, much like in NV, I'd rather take it all for myself and name the remaining players.
But we can't have a single dude taking over the world, can we? It's not like he could shout dragons down from the sky, or take a bullet to the head and wake up with a simple hangover.
I'm typing too much, maybe I should go to sleep.
