There better be DLC to remove elvish scum from the halls of the Empire!
This I agree with. They should allow us to destroy the Aldmeri Dominion, and free Tamriel from their evil clutches!
The game pretty heavily implies that everything you do here (especially the civil war questline) is in preparation for another war with the Dominion. And no matter which side you choose in the civil war a victory is still bad for the Dominion. I'd guess the war will probably be the plot of VI or VII.

 There were a few master-rank Telvanni you may want to talk to.

Those robots were wimps. The centurions are so slow that I killed one using the lowest-level fire and shock spells over several minutes followed by a single strike between the legs with my mace when it got down to around 1/4 health, which caused it to power down and collapse. It never even touched me, or even swung at me, and I ran past it several times.

The things are hundreds of years old, I'm not expecting lightning speed.

They're also huge, and made of Dwemer metal which is especially heavy.

The Sphere Centurions happen to be pretty quick.

You know that face palm moments thread on the upper boards?

I just had one of them, you know horses?  You know the sprint button?  You can combine the two.

I now care to use my horse now and then.

This has always bugged me about the elder scrolls series... considering dead bodies have a tendency to vacate their graves, either through their own volition or the meddling of a necromancer, why doesn't the empire mandate that all bodies be cremated? (Aside from the developers wanting to have undead enemies in the game, of course)

Because then no bodies would be there to conveniently arise when you are around.

The Night's Watch does that in A Song of Ice and Fire (Also known as A Game of Thrones, after the TV show, although you don't see any of the Others in the (first season of the) show, as far as I know, except in the very beginning). Of course, their corpses-rising-from-the-dead problem is considerably worse than the one in Skyrim.

Maybe cremated bodies are where the wraiths come from? They're even worse than zombies or draugr.

You mean the "ice wraiths" that look like (miniature, less dangerous, and less durable) enraged Vorlons?

Look you just don't question why Zombies and other living dead ONLY care when the PC is around them to raise up and attack...
You could have an entire graveyard full of NPCs but not one of the Dead will rise unless the PC joins the pack. Being the Chosen One attracts all manner of badness to you, its why everyone tells you about their every little problem and why dead rise...

Dang it!

I picked the evil side... Now I have to go back and load 2 hours of gameplay.

I mean neither side is "good" but one side certainly is evil.
