Most groups were more motivated by the desire to stop the thalmor but liberal imperials were ever so slightly more motivated into siding with the empire because of the racism of the stormcloaks.
Imperial siding with stormcloaks.
Conservative imperials were the least sensitive to racism and the most likely to be interested in keeping the empire together to defeat the thalmor.
However the imperials and by proxy those in skyrim who are going along with the empire mostly because they want to keep their cushy lives and big houses have basically agreed to the practice even though in almost every elder scrolls game the pc has been tasked with fighting against the evils of slavery.
The imperial legion see the stormcloaks as traitors for wishing to secede from the empire and ulfric s killing of high king torygg.
The imperials have been in skyrim for centuries.
Stormcloaks have as opposed to imperials female guards.
Your point boils down to imperial soldiers are expected to obey the empire s orders which couldn t be more obvious.
But the king signed a peace treaty with their enemies to prevent war but also agreed to ban the worship of the nord s god talos.
Markarth while officially owned by the imperials is in turmoil from corruption.
I think markarth is under threat because of the dodgey allegiance between the stormcloaks and the imperials there.
And when i would reach 100 in pickpocketing i wanted to go on a quest to strip all the women in skyrim.
Balgruuf the greater isn t being bullied by the legion into following the empire.
You see my character was a thief.
If ulfric had done the same as the high king and other jarls and just worshipped talos without making a fuss there would be no thalmor in skyrim.
Ulfric s actions are to blame for at least one of the reasons he gives for the rebellion so the con for siding with the stormcloaks is that it aids the thalmor.
You can get that revenge that you ve always wanted for them trying to behead you.
The imperials who have dominance over tamriel believe that as a province of the empire skyrim should abide by its laws and customs.
The stormcloaks may be racists but they aren t making slaves of people who disagree with them.
While comparatively simple compared to the faction alignment systems of previous elder scrolls games choosing a side to take up arms for in skyrim s civil war can still.
The forsworn invasions over the reach are due to the stormcloaks trying to take political hold over markarth without the citizens knowing about it.
Also playing as a stormcloak does one thing for you.
So to have more fun and see more skin i joined the stormcloaks.
This includes the outlawing of talos worship.
