#so I started playing Skyrim again and partway through I suddenly realized that my character favors the Imperials this time.#like. without my conscious decision. which is wild because my last two characters picked Stormcloak.#tbf. my most recent guy before this just had an authority problem and was pissed about getting slated for beheading with no cause.#but yeah. idk what kind of magic the dev team channeled but it has a fascinating ability to enable roleplay in people.#I used to not really enjoy playing until I saw people making characters and living out stories and I was like “ooo I wanna do that”#and yeah. I have my own personal opinion (destabilizing the empire is good for the thalmor and we hate them forever)#but the fact that the choice feels 50/50 on so many levels is really cool. the geopolitical balance and cultural clash is really fun.#skyrim genuinely did a really good job with the world. obvs there's lots of issues (cough cough the forsworn) but it's still compelling#I genuinely wished there was a way to join the forsworn rebellion outside of just helping them escape Cidna Mine.#installing a native government in Markarth would have been so cool. and the civil war provides good cover for them to pull it off#I wonder if there's a mod for that. I'll have to check after I finish this all-achievements run
