I didn't like the Imperials nor the Nords
Honestly? Yeah the game really fails at making either side feel like they had any real merit.
The Nords were racist and backwards often not understanding why basic laws were put in place.
While the Imperials were hive minded idiots who are easily duped and outright intollerant.
And yet if I had to name the "good guys" it is the Imperials. Sure they are overextending their bounds and they really have no claim on those lands and they are being duped by outright obviously evil villains who BARELY even try to pretend they are not evil who are well known to be evil in both a historical sense and in a recent history sense... but at least they arn't near Genocide prone racists.
It is like someone told them to be ambiguous and forgot that... you kinda need to have good points too. Heck the only reason the Nords are attractive is because they treat you respectfully and like they need you. While the Imperials seem like they couldn't care less.
Which is kinda why I chose the Imperials. The Nords are terrible people. While the Imperials are just stupid jerks.
I joined a cannibal club only to have no possible interaction with them afterwards? Lame
Honestly this seems to be the Eldar Scroll trademark. Where you get into these high prestiegous possitions with a lot of power! and you cannot do SQUAT with them.
What should be an awsome feature is made lame.
