| Khuutra said: I rather liked how Witcher 2 did this a bit better. Instead of giving us two sides that are really easy to hate, the two sides in Witcher 2 were extremely sympathetic for different reasons, and the more you got to know them the more human they became, rather than less. Point is the Stormcloaks make me miss Iorveth. |
Everyone in Skyrim seems to be a complete jerk. Especially the children...
But yes, I just chose a side (Imperials) because I wanted to do some compelling side-quests. One of the issues I have with this game is that being a "good guy" leaves with you with a much less compelling game. Want to put an end to the Dark Brotherhood instead of joining them? Cool, it's only one mission (compared to the whole quest tree if you join them)! Want to stop the corruption of Riften and put the Thieves Guild out of business for good? Well... you can't really do that!
At least there's the Companions and the College...
Also, my brother just started playing (Dark Elf/Mage) and told me he wanted to join the Stormcloaks. I laughed and told him to visit Windhelm before he made any decisions.
