Not that mods won't get to the point where it'll be nice to surpass the 32 bit client limitations, but I just don't see that happening with the current mods on SkyrimNexus. I mean, I've been playing Skyrim at maxed settings for two hours now, and it's actually sitting at 983 MB of memory usage in Task Manager at the moment. :/

I get the impression Bethesda made some NPCs unkillable just to troll us. Case in point: Rolff Stone-Fist, your stereotypical racist Nord who lives in the stereotypical racist Nord city Windhelm.
His dialogue to me (a Dunmer) is most confusing indeed. He will greet me with a "Good to see ya again friend!" followed by a farewell of "...Get out of my face." I would buy the PC version just to have the console command to end his horrible, schizophrenic existence. |

I got a question to ask, which faction is better from a moral point of view ? Stormcloacks or Legion ? When it comes to humans Stormcloaks seemed more moral to me but they are racist which kind of ticks me of, the legion also has its problems... so dunno...

Considering the times, an organization that is all-inclusive is far more moral than the exclusively racist Stormcloaks. That said, morality is in the eye of the beholder, right? It's not like it's real. Anyways, the whole Legion vs Stormcloak thing is almost meaningless. How little this ends up affecting anything is kind of depressing, really.

delorean2000: Both are morally grey at this point: the Empire brings stability at the cost at some freedoms (Talos worship, which I might add the Empire didn't enforce prior to Ulfric's rebellion), the Stormcloaks promises freedom from unreasonable demands. I like the Empire though, if only because Ulfric's rebellion seems to have been pushed by the Thalmor in order to further weaken the Empire. Damned Nazi Elves...

Legion vs Stormcloak is one of those topics that starts heated threadnaughts. But just consider that the Stormcloaks are really quite racist (Dunmer ghetto, Argonians not allowed inside) and while Ulfric makes nice speeches, ultimately Ulfric only cares about Ulfric - he's in it for the power grab, not for independence or religious freedom. Siding with him is not much different from siding with Hitler. Morally, if you side with the Legion, Talos worship may remain outlawed for a while longer, but you have a better position from which to destroy the Dominion later on. The Nords are not the only ones worshipping Talos, you can be sure that the rest of the Empire wants out of that situation also. And noone in the Legion enjoys licking Thalmor boots, they are certainly not willing allies.
Mechanics wise, all that really changes is that a couple of Jarls will get replaced and some cities will have different city guards. They still offer the same quests as far as I saw. Also, if you resolve the rebellion before finishing the main story line, you will miss out on one of the best (or worst, depending on who you ask) story events in the game, the ceasefire conference. |

If you talk with random people they'll talk about how the Empire treats them well (the ork smiths come to mind). With the stormcloaks, according to one of their generals if an Argonian dies, Ulfric brushes it off, if a Nord gets a paper cut, he'll send an entire army to avenge him. In any case the Dark elves living in Windwhelm are being oppressed. Quote:

On that note, leveling smithing and enchanting once was tough. Twice was a pain. If I continue with my third character, I will go "fuck it" and console command the skills. Quote:
I found the moral compass to continuously swing in the Empire's favor. Yes, they chickened out on the Thalmor and nearly cut off your head, but they keep protecting Skyrim from the Dominion, try to treat all races as equally as possible and actually look beyond just the here and now. The Stormcloaks really have little going for them beyond "We aren't allowed to worship Talos." Seriously, I have yet to hear a single convincing reason for the rebellion beyond that one. As Alvor put it: "People are rightly stirred up about the damn Thalmor being allowed to roam around arresting people, just for worshipping Talos. But was it worth tearing Skyrim apart, maybe destroying the Empire? No. Ulfric will have a lot to answer for in the end." |

My dark elf lives to kill every single human in Windhelm even if it takes a console command to allow it Make their worst fears true and then kill all the witnesses
