What are the best mods to use then? Just installing this on my new PC and wanna start it modded straight away. Thanks guys :D

I am only using two "bigger" mods at the moment, Duel - Combat Realism and Midas Magic. The SkyRe mod looks nice and I will have to try that when I get my new computer. Other than that I am only using cosmetic mods at the moment. (UI, better bodies, faces, armour textures, walk/run/jump animations etc.)

Aren't the Imperials just elf proxies?

They're at peace with the thalmor for now because they need to get numbers back; they can do that, the thalmor can't. Unfortunately, the poor bastards don't know the Thalmors' actual plan...

anyone else have a hard time for witch side they should go with?

imperials are spineless, elf worshiping snobs

stormcloacks are arrogant,racist idiots....
I went with the stormcloaks. I'm roleplaying a loyal High Elf so I'm advancing the cause, plunging the empire into chaos by helping the rebellion along. Two smaller enemies are easier to defeat than one large enemy. We will prove the superiority of Mer over Man!

Hey, I know this might me seem stupid or something, but did anyone see that bit on Conan a couple days ago where he 'reviewed' Skyrim? All I have to say is the mammoth tusk joke was facepalm inducing.

Huh?  You mean Rolff?  The guy who isn't a part of the stormcloak army?

Do you mean the grey quarter?  In which the dunmer are supposed to be governing themselves and don't pay taxes to the hold or owe any allegiance to the hold?

Yeah screw those nords for getting upset when they give away prime real estate and when they ask for something in return are snubbed and instead asked for even more.

Have you even heard Ulfric speaking? He pretty much ignores that Whiterun is neutral and attacks it because "if they are not with him they are against him". It's also mentioned by this one nord in Windhelm (whose name I forgot) that whenever a nord village/caravan is attacked, Ulfirc is the first to go to their aid, if, instead of nords, it's dunmer or khajiiti he completly ignores them. And pretty much every single stormcloak guard will go out of their way to insult you if you're not a nord.

Please quote it.  I seem to recall him telling Galmar to be patient because he believes Balgruuf is a true nord.  He doesn't attack on either side's playthrough until the empire garrisons troops in Whiterun.  (Which if you've played imperial, you know Tullius sent exaggerated letters to convince Balgruuf that Ulfric was going to do it)

Funny that ulfric shows special treatment to the people supporting his cause.  Because you know it's not like his forces are spread thin.  He doesn't even have men to spare for tracking down a killer in his own city who is killing nords.  Which the cornerclub dunmer basically says "I don't care about the murders.  So long as he doesn't take a dunmer"

IIRC Ulfric is the Thalmor proxy, not the empire or anything, you find this out in their embassy I belive.

Not really.  They label him an asset because the war benefits their goals so long as it is ongoing.  They also note that he's extremely hostile to direct contact and that a victory on either side is to be avoided.

Here's how I approached the two sides of the Rebellion.

Meeting room where peace talks are occurring.

Ulfric: "GIVE ME MARKATH OR I WALK OUT"

Me: "Hmm... yes... that's a very unique proposal. Especially considering I just spent 6 hours cleaning up and saving Markath myself. Let me have a moment to think about this."

Funny you should mention that.

The negotiation changes based on who has control of Whiterun.

If it's the stormcloaks, Tullius does the same thing except demanding Riften.
