Skyrim fans agree the Stormcloaks are the ‘wrong’ side

Debate often rages on Reddit and everyone loves a good debate on the inherent goodness or evil qualities of an RPG faction. The latest in the conversation isSkyrim’s Stormcloaks, a faction which directly opposes the Imperials.

Choosing which faction to side with is a large part ofThe Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Whether you’re playing casually, or following the lore to the letter, this decision is one with gravity. There are reasons to join the Stormcloaks. As one Redditor points out, “The Stormcloak officer armour looks awesome”. Wouldn’t it be nice if the look of armour was the only consideration?

Generally though, it seems most believe they are on the wrong side of history, and the future. There are various reasons Redditors give: “If you’re roleplaying a Nord born inSkyrim, it is logical,” or, “Ulfric honestly feels kind of arrogant.”

Stormcloaks do carry many negatives, but some comment that it’s the same whichever choice you make. I guess, in this argument for now, Stormcloaks are looking at each other and asking, ‘Are we the baddies?’
