The F-35 is so awkward for me. The only perk is that you can Jesus-float and become an aerial gun platform (can you say easy target?)

Then, I ignore vehicles altogether. I have my regular squad that plays every night, so we just hold and secure a point or two and wait for the bad guys to come to us. It's actually fun.

Bullshit. I routinely fuck up Flankers, no problemo, with the F-35. It's not difficult at all. The F-35 is downright nasty in the hands of a skilled pilot, even against the Su-35BM.

Ive only flew the plane once in the game, and i didnt last long, got shredded by both enemy planes in less than two minutes, but from what ive seen of it other times it does not last long, everyone who i see get into it is just soo bad its not even funny, every time im in a SU 35 i tear them apart, as does near every one else, that or they kill themselves so many times its just wrong, i dont feel like ive seen the full potential of that plane online.

My aforementioned Dunmer lass gladly joined them.

I liked to imagine she was so angry about the treatment of her people in Windhelm that she would screw over the Nords by joining the Legion, not rescuing Nords led off by the Thalmor and so on. Even non-Nord farmers going to join the Stormcloaks mysteriously disappeared on their trips.

Heck, my Khajiit joined the Imperial's instead of the Stormcloaks because the leader of the Stormcloaks just seemed like an ass. But god, every time I go to an Imperial Camp I don't need to hear you guys not shutting up about "I can't want to get out and kill some more Stormcloaks"!

Just walk into any town.

WAIT I KNOW YOU is heard more times in my experience than the Arrow in the Knee thing or anything else.

What also sucks is when you become leader of the Thieves Guild....and no one cares. Hell, I went to go talk once about the Stones of Barenziah and you know what quest marker popped up?

LEARN HOW TO BE A FULL MEMBER OF THE THIEVES GUILD.

Seriously? After I became its leader when I got rid of Mercer Frey?

At least I could still use the "I'm a member of the Guild" excuse with the guards.

Not to mention the guards hate me for using the Thu'um but they won't do anything about it.

F-35B's are the best jets in the game. I really like the Russian Su's, but the ability of the F35 to simply cut its engines and hover, allowing anyone on your six just to shoot straight over is unrivaled.

Also, if someone kamikazes the ground without being forced down by enemy aircraft, irregardless of what they're flying, they're obviously retarded when it comes to aircraft.

You give me all this buildup towards the final battle with Ulfric...and what do I get?

A lot of them would probably be linked in somehow, sell some of their goods to its vendors or help them out in some way, so they probably wouldnt want to piss them off and lose a good supporting base.

I've done that from time to time with this banditwoman who sits around some tower along a road. She intercepts me and asks for my septims, so I use my speechcraft on her and she gets by another day without her head mysteriously being cut off.

I tried to go for a jack of all trades when it came to my Dunmer - if only because I really couldn't decide what I wanted to specialize in.

I was too lazy to kill Ulfric in my recent game. Honestly, my character should be fat, seeing how little work he now does thanks to Dremora Lords killing everything for him.

I let the leader of what ever faction i am on the side of do it, just feels right, but i remember the first time i took on ulfric, as soon as the fight began he dragon shouted me down the entire hall along with Legate rikke, scared the crap out of me, but he went down easily, i just wish that for the final fight they wore some good armour, would make it last longer.

I always start out with a crusader brute using restoration and one-handed swords and heavy armor. By level thirty seven, I switch over to a nightblade using magic (illusion, conjuration), one-handed swords and bows/crossbows, and wearing light armor. Not only does the lategame light armor look awesome, coupled with my massive collection of Dragon Priest Masks, I'm invincible. When I reach the last levels, I could run around naked on master and still not die.

My Dunmer was gay too. For shits and giggles, I had her marry Camilla Valerius just to piss off Sven and Faendal (who mysteriously disappeared, presumably dead in battle. Poor guy, he was a bro after I helped him screw over that Nord bastard before I screwed him over too) and I just rolled with it, because I figured, hey, why not, right? Anyways, periodically, my Dunmer would come back to her Cammy and get a homecooked meal and some septims from the store (along with Camilla's repetitive use of the constantly said little bit of this/that and some call this junk quotes) and then she'd go off on her latest expedition. And another thing - these dragons really pop up in the most inopportune times. I'm trying to do something and then two pop up out of nowhere to annoy me before they get killed.

And that is including me.

But, overall, how can you really support the Stormcloaks? They have no depth. It's all TALOS TALOS TALOS and an (ex?)-Thalmor agent at the helm.

I support the stormcloaks the first time, then at the end i said to myself, that beside his badass voice actor, awesome appearance and clothing, he is a racist dick, and a puppet.

So i side with someone at random, Even though in my opinion he is far better as a leader than Tulius. Who also has an awesome voice actor.

Yeah, I haven't heard the arrow in the knee joke in a while, both in-game and on the Internet....thankfully. I got so sick of it.

I have a few problems where I have quests I finished still up on my freaking quest feed...

Here's a good picture to describe the fantastic Skyrim interactions Especially when you are leader of the Companions.

My Khajiit might need to be gay because I can't find any female Khajiits to marry...

I still need to finish the Imperial's thing. It seems to of bugged, though....While my game seems to be working fine, I seem to be having a lot of quest bugs. There's fixes I can try and do, though, like I did with Farkus freaking following me everywhere and being a royal pain in the ass.

So i side with the imperials from now on, or just leave the civil war until i have nothing else to do.

When I was playing as my jack-of-all-trades Dunmer and all, I pretty much couldn't care less about the civil war and stuck to doing side-quests before I got annoyed and just hitched up with the Legion, which I was going to do anyway but I figured doing side quests would be better before leaping on in.

Religious Freedom; Freedom to Self Govern and Superiority of Man over Mer.

Three of the points i support of their position.

And Ulfric gods...I have said this about a half dozen times to a few people.

He was captured by the Thalmor during the War of the Red Ring, He was tortured and eventually broke under that torture and gave up informaiton that was utterly pointless by the time he broke.

He was allowed to escape.

I honestly don't see how folks could think the Man who saw his people dying all around him at the hands of elves, was tortured by elves and then got arrested and imprisooned and nearly executed by the folks who bowed down in submission to them could actually be a spy for them.

It's the worst sort of undocumented speculation; Honestly the Thalmor maintained a strict hands off policy to the civil war because they didn't want either side to win.

But to me? the Stormcloaks have far more depth then a dying Empire trying to drag its provinces down with it.

My brother has the pc version, i saw him using several weapons and house shields from the series, pretty awesome looking. Especially running around as a Nord with the Stark Dire Wolf on your shield.

[Ganos Lao]

Superiority of Man over Mer.

Not only do I not recall Ulfric saying that Man > Mer or anything of the sort, but this makes me think you're just like the Thalmor you'd be fighting against.

Overall, though, it'd be a lot easier to judge either faction if they had actual depth. I mean, we can say all we want about Stormcloak motives and Imperials holding onto their empire in an attempt to rebuild long enough to fight off the Thalmor and all, but the game gives us nothing to work with here.

As for the Thalmor not wanting either side to win, I don't recall them having such concern. IIRC, the only form of hard evidence we get in this regard is a Thalmor dossier which clearly states that they are looking for a long drawn out civil war. From this evidence alone it is difficult to conclude which side they would prefer winning. Obviously they would want neither to win but if one was meant to win then which one would they prefer? They should logically prefer an Imperial defeat. A further weakened Empire and an independent and possibly poorly governed Skyrim ruled by a man with questionable morals and capability. Sounds good enough for them.
