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.

Dang, that's a good point.  Particularly since you wouldn't have to murder him - just challenge him to single combat, like he did the previous king.  Would be rather appropriate, and everyone present would have to be a hypocrite to oppose you.

Exactly Rolan, that's what I was trying to remember!
I never understood why Ulfric could be the superman and just challenge the king to a duel, and you couldn't challenge him.

Think about the possibilities. I think Ulfric would become the Tenpenny of Skyrim, with thousands of youtube videos of people murdering him in the most different ways.

I did test the "Become High King of Skyrim" mod, in which I promptly made him a gladiator (prisoner) and got him to fight with Nazeem.
Guess who hasn't been visiting the Cloud District very often?

Both.

Might be that you actually need to be a landed noble (a jarl, in other words) to challenge the high king.

[Gabeux]

I don't want to be that guy, but since you could be Thane and Best Friends Forever (which is ranked higher than Thane) with all the Jarls from Skyrim, wouldn't that count? I do get your point though. 

I just really think that Ulfric being alive is canon. But if they ever enable us to kill him, I will be happy.
Sometimes I pick a grudge with a fictitious character for the weirdest reasons.

(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 emperors were Dragonborn.

I always wondered how the Dovahkiin was dragonborn...

Not to further derail into Skyrim, but...Except that last emperor, right? The one who comes to Skyrim in that ship?

The Dragonborn Emperor ended with Martin from Oblivion pretty much, all of them past it were regular humans.

Shall we forget the giant throne?

[Putnam]

...huh?

[Culise]

I'm not sure if he's saying the throne has some means of detecting Dragonborn or if he's saying the throne itself is secretly Dragonborn.

[Neonivek]

More that the throne indicates another non-human ruler.

[Culise]

Oh.  I thought large thrones were typically a substitute for a tiny...sword.

There was a giant emperor?  Did he ban the export of mammoth cheese and furs?
