Re: Ulfric's Duel

I really am sorry about all these long posts. :|
Now I'm confused, because here you acknowledge Ulfric's right to high-kingship. I acknowledge Ulfric's candidacy to high-kingship. I cannot stress that enough.

You and Balgruff know something very different let me assure you. All I know is that ...

Re: Ulfric's Duel

Good man. But wouldn't it be assuming if we said he was racist because of 1 contextual piece of dialogue?

You're paraphrasing a bit, but yeah that was the gist.

I disagree. I think you, me, and Jarl Balgruff know how to seperate individual might from military might.

Re: Ulfric's Duel

You are 100% correct, but in this case Ahtar was having a private conversation with the PC. Ahtar also calls his own prisoners "scum", and has no complaints for the other Argonian in the city(Gulum-Ei) so I think it's a stretch to call him racist.
Again, you are 100% correct. Torygg was an imperial ...

Re: Ulfric's Duel

The way Ulfric sees it is that he legally challenged a nordic ruler of a nordic country in the old nordic way.
The way the empire sees it is that Ulfric killed a imperial subject in an imperial province, which is illegal under imperial law.

Re: Ulfric's Duel

I just had an interesting conversation with Ahtar in solitude. I asked him about his next execution, and he shared an interesting thought with me. He told me that "Filthy Argonian never would have set foot in this city, if High King Torygg was still alive."
Surprise, it seems racism isnt a nord ...

Re: Ulfric's Duel

It's like having a late-night party, and someone says "Turn the stereo down! The cops are driving by. Everybody keep quiet for a minute." Then Ulfric strolls over to the window and shouts out the window "Talos forever, man! Wooohoooo!"

Cops pull up to the door and knock. Party's over, and Ulfric ...

Except dueling isn't one of the traditions he's talking about. He objects to the perceived diminished authority of Jarls in favor of their Imperial sponsors, and what he views as the insult of outlawing Talos worship (which was never actually enforced until the rebellion began, a point I can't ...

Re: Ulfric's Duel

Its fairly obvious that when ulfric challenged the high king every notable figure in solitude and skyrim, decided it is according to the nord laws and traditions, otherwise it wouldnt have happened.
This is why ulfric made it out of the city without killing anyone else. That very day what ulfric did ...

I was always fascinated by how people dont see that consoles only exist so people can throw their money out the window.

Re: More corrupt: Riften or Markarth

Well, depends on which Silver-Blood you mean. For example, in Riften, Maven is the dictionary mafia godfather, uh, mother. If you go to the meadery (and have high enough persuasion), some of the employees fear being secretly killed by her. If Maven was placed in such a situation, I doubt she would ...

Begs the question, if Maven has so much power, influence, and illegal routes, why isn't her means of corruption deemed the greater threat or even tolerated at that?

In Riften, it's all about business, even the crime is treated with a professional tone. Markarth is just a pot that's ready to boil ...

Re: More corrupt: Riften or Markarth

Only way to compare the 2 is how professional the criminals are in each city.
Markarth is pretty much ran by the Silver-bloods. I mean if they just get wiped out, there would be a giant power-vacum in markarth. Also the markarth scheme is much bigger than just a group of pick-pockets

There's a rare feature in certain other RPG's where, as your character develops, most lesser enemies recognize when they are outmatched and rightly flee in terror at the mere sight of you (or in certain turn-based examples the encounter results in an instant win). I wouldn't mind something similar ...

She tasked Farengar with locating the Dragonstone. She was present when you came back with that very Dragonstone. She was walking out of the room when Irileth came rushing in to announce a dragon sighting.

Which means she was in Whiterun when you engaged the dragon in battle. Either that, or she ...
