    Who did you side with and why?

    I chose the rebels because their fight for freedom from the Imperials ruling them from miles away reminded me of the American Revolution. Now that I'm almost done with the quest line I decided that they suck and my Dark Elf necromancer 2nd character is joining the legion so I can wipe out these backwards mountainmen.

    I was pretty upset that the Imperials were about to chop my head off.

    Then about 70 hours later I arrived in Windhelm and noticed how racist the Stormcloaks are toward my dark elf brothers and sisters.

    Thinking about helping the Dunmer start a revolt and take over Windhelm. I guess I'll play a Nord or Orc next time.

    Joined the rebels because I play a Nord. Free skyrim from the empire and the dark elves.

    I choose the Legion cause of how the Stormcloaks hate non-Nords.
    My Nord supports the Empire and since im a dragonborn il claim the throne too. hehe

    Despite being an Imperial, I am siding with the Stormcloaks.

    Reason why? See the spoiler below...

    Despite the racism of the Stormcloaks, supporting the Empire is even worse since you do know that they are merely just pawns to an greater race of racists and elitists called the Thalmor (Aldmeri Dominion).

    However, by siding with the Empire, Tamriel has one more chance to keep the Thalmor from doing harm since the Thalmor do like to see the Empire fall apart from then to have a gain at each individual state.

    Bottom line, both sides are pretty bad, but you got to picked whatever one is suited to your character's decision.
