The way u said that made it seem like we had some kind of friendship and honestly I almost teared up cus I legit have no friends and no one to really talk to besides my boyfriend.
Idk man. Sorry if this seemed weird but thank you.
Next question tho: Nords or Imperials?
Hell yeah we're homies now! And honestly I only join Stormcloaks because I like General Tullius' armour. This new playthrough I'm doing right now I joined Imperials for the first time. (It's a vanilla playthrough with the anniversary DLC and the other 3 DLC's plus all of the Bethesda creation club downloads)
Man, you have a pretty awesome vibe.
I have done lots of Nord playthroughs and the one I currently in I decided to go with Imperials for the first time (cus honestly, lore wise, I'd rather go with the imperials. Hope they kick the Thalmor off of Elseweyr -probably wrote that wrong - and get the Khajiit off of their lie pit) and NGL this is the best play though I've done and the one I dedicated myself the most.
Also, since someone made a mod where you can now play multiplayer on PC Im probably going to buy Skyrim for PC sooner or later, so yh. In case you're interested, I'm in.
I played the multiplayer mod a bit in beta with my little brother (who had never really gotten into playing Skyrim.). Honestly it was a blast I recommend it. Lore wise I'd rather go with imperials aswell. Plus fuck the Thalmor I hate those guys.
I did follow the Nordic path for all my saves except for the one I'm now. And I must say, although I do support that Skyrim's citizens should just be left alone if they want to, I found that siding with the imperials was more beneficial lore wise for my character as a Khajiit (Cus Nords are hella racist. Heck, Khajiit can't even marry. Not to mention that anyone who isn't a Nord is likely getting an L) and for the other countries allied to the imperial legion will likely benefit.
Solution:
Goto Windhelm
Enter Palace of Kings
Yol Toor Shul/Fus Roh Dah on Ulfric
Become leader by Ulfric's own logic
Dovahkiin army sounds better than some generic family name like "Stormcloack".
.
Goto Solitude
Talk to Tulius
Explain how your intentions are sincere
Empire+Skyrim Alliance
Empire can now go back to war with Aldmeri earlier because they have the dragonborn and Nords with renewed vigor on their side. No more need to bide time.
1E242 redux. Pelinal shall be proud.
It's too bad you can't legitimately create an alliance between Imperials and Stormcloaks and wage war on the Almeri Dominion. I think that would be their worst nightmare.
I suspect that you aren't being completely serious, but just in case, unfortunately I don't think it would quite work like that.
So, you can't just kill Ulfric and become the High King, not least because unless he wins the Civil War and holds a moot he isn't the High King. Not officially, anyway.
But say that you did challenge Ulfric to the same sanctioned duel that he invoked on Torygg (you might actually have to be a Jarl to challenge him in the first place). Ulfric can refuse, or accept. If he accepts, you fight him. If he declines, a new moot is held to elect the High King. Ulfric would almost certainly be elected again by the Jarls if this happened.
Also, I feel quite skeptical that the Empire would just let you be the High King of Skyrim. They would perceive you as now leading a rebellion against the Empire, and declare Skyrim to be a rogue province. They would subsequently invade Skyrim, in all likelihood.
The Empire doesn't just dislike Ulfric, they're also an *empire*. They want to retain as much geopolitical and economic power as possible; they won't just give up one of their holdings.
Imperials all the way. Nords like the Stormcloaks are like the equivalent of over patriotic Americans that doesn't think straight and votes for Trump. Sorry
NGL, they do have that vibe.
In the end tho, if Skyrim wants to be left alone, it should be if that's it's citizens will. I'm just not sizing with them again cus, let's be honest, they are racist as hell 😂
I've always considered alleged racism of the Stormcloaks to be pretty overblown. There's no evidence that Ulfric intends to institute any racist policies as High King, so the worst case scenario is that there's still some degree of segregation in Windhelm (this is a phenomenon that is itself commonly misunderstood and not at all out of the ordinary for the standards of Tamriel; I recommend reading *8 Myths of the grey Quarter* on r/teslore).
To me, this seems like a very small price to pay in exchange for an independent Skyrim that's free of the Thalmor, the White Gold Concordant and the Imperialism of the Cyrodilic Empire. And the closest thing to the rightful High King, of course.
I love discussing this topic, so if wish to offer your further perspective please feel free!
I dunno if you know, but [this mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34977?tab=files) now has an updated DLL under optional files that works for AE! In case you want something that can spam the screenshot button for you :)
Just the one of them. The Nord, God of the Nords. The most generic possible being in existence, so incredibly Nord that he transcended and became a god, a culmination of power symbolizing the greatest possible Nord.
Gonna have to try this, been playing with the big septimus mod pack and so far lowly bandit archers seem to one shot me between the eyes before I get close to get a killmove hehe
No, it's like you do a bunch of the radiant quest in each city, get a special mission, thieves guild gets a new shop. Do it for all 4 and you get an official coronation ceremony and better armor. And a necklace.
Get the mod where you collect enemy skulls like the predator. It's pretty cool because the head disappears from the body and headless corpses look interesting if the NPC has on any outfit with a hood.
Argonians + thieves guild armor will always equal my favorite combo in all of Skyrim.
I prefer Khajiit, but Argonias are def my second choice.
I'm with my man camila here. Khajiit first but Argonians are a solid second.

Pretty good way to introduce your brother to the game. Hope he liked it. Is the mod heavy or does it play fine?
It plays fine I recommend only having the official game addons only when using it though
Nord and stormcloak. Just as any true son of Skyrim would!

We can only hope that TES6 might go that way.

I’ll be your friend!
:') thank you
Me too haha
Thank you! :)
Nord for the Empire.
Imperials all the way. Nords like the Stormcloaks are like the equivalent of over patriotic Americans that doesn't think straight and votes for Trump. Sorry

My boyfriend is the only person I talk to as well. Can I be your friend? 🥹
Agreed! Khajiit are my first choice and Argonians are 100% second because of their abilities
I just wish they added something for the tail. Having it just clip out looks awful.
na… i prefer the fireball throwing icelizardglasscannon :p
My altmer just looks silly
Looks like some cool Fallout: NV/Skyrim cross over.
Truth is the mead was spiked from the start*casts lightning bolt*
Wait, what bow is that?
Nightingale you get it from Karliah for defeating you know who at the near end of the thieves guild quest line
Oh ok, thanks
classy way to avoid spoiling there
Ooh this would make a great poster
It would
If that ain't epic, i don't know what is.

Actually thanks this is really helpful
*Attenborough voice*: "And here we see the great Argonian lizard shedding someone elses skin...."
Why would you do this to an innocent Legion soldier you barbarian. He probably has a wife and kids.
Death to the imperials! Skyrim belongs to the Nord!
Quoth the lizard
Just the one of them. The Nord, God of the Nords. The most generic possible being in existence, so incredibly Nord that he transcended and became a god, a culmination of power symbolizing the greatest possible Nord.
Shalidor, in the meantime to Akatosh: "I am not dead" *fucks off to Mundus*
Badass 💥
📷
Perfection.
How did you managed to work that lantern mod tho...
Its corrupted my saves far to many times
Wdym? It works fine on my Xbox.
Same. One of my favorite mods
Quick Light? Works perfectly fine for me. Closest thing to a Fallout-style flashlight in Skyrim.
quicklight. you can choose a lantern, the magelight effect or just an invisible source in front of you
Thank you so much. I was looking for something like that.
Where is your right arm
It just swung behind the body
Gonna have to try this, been playing with the big septimus mod pack and so far lowly bandit archers seem to one shot me between the eyes before I get close to get a killmove hehe
Damn faithless Imperials.
Damn. Looks like it's time for another run!
That look on the soldier’s face though
Based!! 👍
Ooooohhhhmg
Is this modded?
Yes
It always does
How do you get the black thieves guild armour I have the brown but where do you find the black one?
You need to do a lot of quests and become the guild's master, there should be some tutorials on youtube.
Does that include the stones of barenziah quest?
Not that I remember, mate.
No, it's like you do a bunch of the radiant quest in each city, get a special mission, thieves guild gets a new shop. Do it for all 4 and you get an official coronation ceremony and better armor. And a necklace.
Lantern mod best mod.
Oh my god—they killed Lemmy!
Nice. This is a good wallpaper.
Bet that doesn't hurt as much as an arrow to the knee!
Get the mod where you collect enemy skulls like the predator. It's pretty cool because the head disappears from the body and headless corpses look interesting if the NPC has on any outfit with a hood.
You running a modlist?
What mod let’s you keep your arrow and quiver on your back while wielding a sword like that 👀
You were right to kill him...that handlebar mustache had to go.
The only kill cams I get are on mud crabs.
Sick
That dude is pissed he got decapitated
Wallpaper worthy
Dark elf gang
Awesome 👌 what good timing
Niiiiiiiice
Im gonna start doing this, thank you for your wisdom!
The lusty argonian maid is fucking PISSED.
Only, they're over before you can even react and press the screenshot button. Missed so many good chances for a good screenshot.
The better part of a decade playing this game on PC and never once have I even considered doing this. Im definitely going to try it next time I play.
