I'm really torn between the College of Winterhold and the Theives Guild. I'm also torn between choosing a magic based character or a stealth character. :?

I'll join the College of Winterhold for the available spells.
I'll join the Stormcloaks because I love Ulfric.
I'll join the Dark Brotherhood because they're the Dark Brotherhood.

How bout a poll?

College. I'm really interested in the changes in the magic system and the enchanting system.

Stormcloaks running a close second, especially now that Ulfric is delivering great lines in trailers.

Definitely College of Winterhold.
As for The Empire V Stormcloaks....it's really tough to call.
I want the Empire to prosper but with all the tidbits being released by the recent videos on the Stormcloaks...well I am beginning to empathize with them.

The first Guild I'll be trying is the Thieves Guild. There are two reasons:

- It was my all-round favourite in Oblivion and Morrowind
- I know exactly where they are based (unlike the others) so I know where to go :)

In case anyone else would like to try the Thieves Guild, they are located in

For the bards,
Spoiler:
in one review one quest of the bards was played dwelling into a dungeon to get the lost book of some legend, because the jarl of winterhold(?) doesn'T want to hold the celebration for this legend, so you must get the book and then there is an event
I will join the College because my first character will be a mage and maybe the bards also.

First guild I joined: Thieves' Guild - was actually quite random how I ended up getting recruited (was on a mission in the city regarding some Dark Brotherhood stuff).

Haven't deciced if I want to join the Empire or the Stormcloaks, since I am a stealthy assassin thief-Khajiit, with no real relations to either faction.
