probably the most interesting character in any Elder Scrolls game

Really! Stormcloak?!  I have to think about this.  Among the big plot-essential characters I think I would have gone with Vivec.   

But surely the most interesting man (or mer) in the world would be somewhere a bit off the beaten path...   I nominate Yagrum Bagarn.  He's at least written a book (Tamrielic Lore)!  I bet if Stormcloak has any books out they were actually ghostwritten by that dude in the bear hat.

Stormcloak is up there, but Vivec definitely has him beat, yeah.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

ANyone who calls M'aiq a liar is lying.

About my my little dilemma from before.
What if I placed a ruined Book in the inventories of my victims?
As to symbolize that their stories have ended.
Plenty of ruined books to be found.. almost everywhere.
And they have no other use that I know of any way.

Well.

In Frostfell you can burn them in campfires.

But they make good "ended life" things too.

Of course, I am not going to do this to any thing I kill.
Only those the Dark Brotherhood designate or whomever other "non enemy NPC" I decide to kill.

Speaking of "non enemy NPCs".. Nazeem and quite a few others are on my hit list.

Go to Callixto's museum, take "The Book of Fate", duplicate it and leave copies at corpses?

Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

If I wanted dozens of Nazeems, why would I kill one?
Also, that mod would defeat the point of my scheme.

True, that would be interesting but..
There can only be one "The Book of Fate". Or else it would be called "A Book of Fate".

It's worse than that.

Fine, then rename them "Book of Fate" and keep "The Book" where you write names of your kills and how they died with yourself.

Those are quite interesting but.. I'll stick with my Ruined Books plan.
Much less hassle to get through, also I am rapidly nearing my 255 mod limit any way..

Actually, in terms of ES 6...I think Stormcloaks winning is actually what will happen.

Considering Imperials are based on the Romans...

And bethesda pretty much following roman history...and during the time of skyrim, that is pretty much 100% accurate.

The empire will most likely be gone or shattered in ES 6 (think eastern roman empire/byzantine empire...so a remnant of it will likely still remain)

AND the big clue. You assassinate the emperor for the empire...and there is a near 100% it is lore accurate (otherwise they wouldn't put that HUGE plot in)...which further goes in line with Stormcloaks winning...

So in truth, choosing empire is NOT lore friendly. I don't agree with the stormcloaks, HATE Ulfric (he looks, sounds and acts like a complete douche)...but it is a near 100% likely hood that is what will be shown in ES 6 is stormcloaks winning or half/half at the very least.

(edit: As for barbarians...I imagine stormcloaks can be considered that (nords)...considering barbarians (nords) were a HUGE part of the roman (empire) army...even the environment is sort of similar...bethesda is just lazily copying roman history into ES...but hey, I love roman history...so not a bad thing to me. But makes it VERY obvious what is going to happen. So no point in choosing anyone but stormcloaks if you care about lore...cause empire will either 50/50 Skyrim or lose. Depending how much bethesda uses real history.

Except the thalmor...not sure who that can be considered as. A wildcard? Any ideas I have, seems maybe pushing it. If considering they have asian influence (ESO)...and bethesda takes that...probably mongols or something...but to me, that seems pushing it too far right now with what I know of thalmor...I'm sure bethesda based them on someone in history. They did with the Imperials (roman obviously) and nords)
