George Lucas eat your heart out. You should join the Rebels, because in the beginning you were not on the death list and the Imperials wanted to cut your head off along with the others anyway.
So, kill all the Imperials. How do you square Ulfric's murder of the prior king? The beauty of the choices in Skyrim is that they are difficult. All factions have their heroes, their cause, their good deeds, their hidden agenda, and their skeletons in the closet. You can hardly judge a large organization by the actions of a single, rather low-ranking person. Also, if you side with the guard, the Stormcloaks attack you unprovoked shortly after that.
They're no better. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Additionally, there's one more chance to switch sides during the civil war: During The Jagged Crown , bringing the crown to the opposing side's leader will let you turncoat and join the other side. Improve this answer. Sorry to question-on-question, but where do you pick up the Imperial quest chain if you followed Ralof?
Then, that will show up as a quest option just like the Stormcloaks quest. If you want to jump ahead of this, go to Solitude and speak with General Tullius.
More details here: uesp. After the war, the Dragonborn's efforts are noted, leading nearby Stormcloaks to defend them in battle.
It's unknown how Skyrim's civil war could affect Elder Scrolls 6 , as the Tamrielic Empire has been severely damaged and will likely not be able to stand against the Dominion for much longer. Unfortunately, Bethesda has released little to no information concerning the next Elder Scrolls game, meaning fans of the franchise will have to wait a bit longer before their next adventure.

During The Jagged Crown, wearing the crown to the leader on the opposite side will allow you to turn and join the other side. I learned it the hard way.

Their quests certainly aren't the most engaging aspect of the game. By comparison, although they share quite a bit of overlap, the Nord-themed storylines of the Stormcloak quests are a saving grace of the faction. They simply feel more meaningful and epic. That's because the Stormcloaks have less military might and very much have guerrilla tactics vibe to their role in the conflict. Even their recruitment is more thematic, and their characters are more memorable or intimidating. Since the Empire and the Imperials pride themselves on being an organized bunch, they're pretty fair when it comes to rewards and career advancement.
The ranking system in the Imperial Legion is all about hard work and the title progression feels appropriate compared to the relatively unorthodox Stormcloaks. Moreover, the armor and weapons of the Imperial Legion are of higher quality and look arguably better than the Stormcloaks' cheap-looking gambesons.
If players ever wanted to cosplay as a Roman legionnaire that can throw fireballs and yell people to death, then joining the Imperial Legion is It's easy to see how many players ended up choosing the Stormcloaks instead.
The opening sequences of Skyrim paint them all in a better light, particularly Ralof of Riverwood. A Skyrim playthrough just doesn't hit right without his customary "good morning" bit. There's also the more obvious consideration — the Imperial Legion was trying to cut off the player's head. The Stormcloaks weren't. Bygones are bygones if you decide to join the Legion, but the fact of the matter is that they would've happily gone ahead with it had Alduin not crashed the party. The primary seat of power in Skyrim is the city of Solitude, where the High King used to sit before Ulfric shouted him to death.
While it was the Imperial emperor Tiber-Septim who declared Solitude as the capital, players ought to agree with his decision after seeing Solitude's layout. It's only the best and most aesthetically pleasing city in Skyrim sorry, Jarl Balgruuf. It also appears as the most modern and the most defensible, unlike Whiterun which can be assaulted from all angles.
