Do you think the civil war questline should have been fleshed out more? It left me feeling kinda like i hadn’t done anything. There should have been some kind of tactics mechanic insted of “swing a war hammer blindly and get a quadfeed”. Mabye add the the ability to lose battles. I felt like i hadn’t earned anything. And the final battle for the imperials feels so dry. Its a 4 v 2 if you have a compainion. And you dont really get anything ether. Only a glass sword i could have made myself.

I compeltely agree. Honestly, in playing Skyrim you don’t even feel like your’re in a country in the middle of a war. This could definitely be improved if the player could randomly encounter small battles happening between the two armies. 

One thing I can think of that would make the quest more fufilling is, if you chose the Stormcloaks, actually being able to see the moot where Ulfric becomes king. Like, stormcloak isn’t my chosen side of the war usually for hte obvious reasons, but the fact that if you do play through the whole questline, you don’t even end with Ulfric actually being crowned king? It’s just some sort of “this will happen some time soon we promise lmao”. Additionally, having more open worship of Talos everywhere you turn would make it feel like you actually succeeded in fighting for what you wanted. But, on the concequence side of this, having racism become a larger problem within Skyrim to show that your religious freedom has come at a terrible cost.

On the flipside, maybe after the Imperials win, having racism visibly descrease within Skyrim. Having the Argonians be found in Windhelm and elves talking about how glad they are that the Empire one because it’s a relief. But, same as with a stormcloak victory, there should be concequence. Having increased thalmor presence in Skyrim would be interesting. Especially in previously Stormcloak controlled cities. Similar in style to how they exist in Markarth. Any remaining Talos structures should be destroyed as a visual reminder of the cost of your choice.
