How can anyone pick the TOG (Thalmor Occupied Goverment) """Empire""" after that?

He fights for an idea that doesn't exist. Nations and provinces are arbitrary concepts.
Joseph Thomas
Does he actually wear the Jagged Crown if you side with the Stormcloaks? Or is it just a mod?
Aaron Garcia
Because every npc in TES 5 is flavorless because of budget voice acting and animations. So I'd rather simp for Empire booty than a Nord, which for reminder, doesn't even fucking tell us if he ever wins against the Thalmor.
Nicholas Brown
It's not because something is arbitrary that it isn't preferable to another arbitrary thing.

TES lore is rich, the dumb game designers don't let it flow into the game though. You'll have to read the ingame books. They should hire some dudes from CDPR, they know how to create an organic world. you barely notice that there's a was in TES V

Colton Myers
The reason Ulfric rebels is because he helped the Empire kick the Forsworn out of Markarth and then they arrested him for worshipping Talos. It's entirely justified.
Brody Torres
Talos worship is barely even enforced, look at Whiterun and how there's a worshiper out in the middle, they only lightly enforce it to not breach the Thalmor agreement

If the Stormcloaks win, Thalmor wins, simple as. An Empire divided could easily fall to the Aldmeri Dominion if they don't have Redguards or Nords to help. The Dominion have no business attacking Redguards anymore, and neither do the Nords. The fuckers would sit there in their countries defending themselves meanwhile the Dominion would be attacking the remaining towers and reality would be fucking done. But hey, they at least defended themselves like a bunch of selfish niggers while all the other races still in the Empire have to fight to keep reality existing. I highly doubt they would lend aid to the Empire after being so hellbent of separating and rebelling.
Adam Taylor
I'd say "useful idiot" instead of pawn. Either Ulfric is too dim to see the big picture or he doesn't care out of ambition and greed.

You're ridiculously small-minded. You're comparing something borne from free will/sentience to actual free will/sentience.

Why the fuck is this information so out of the way to find? I do not remember much mention of any of the finer details of this post other than the major plot points (Ulfric killing the high king with shouts, etc). I legitimately think TES lore is pretty cool but they never incorporate it in the game in a way that makes it impactful.
Landon Gomez
because as the games go on elder scrolls and fallout games become wider and shallower
anything besides the most basic details won't even be in side dialogue choices and its mostly from books nobody reads and amalgamated information of the series not the individual game itself

This isn't a bad thing. The Imperials are still keeping to their agreement this way. If they actually gave a fuck they'd have him executed.
