Definitely go Stormcloak. One day, when Ulfric Stormcloak pats Mr. Puffles on the back, looks him in the eyes, and says "you're one of the good ones", that's all the vindication our proud kitty warrior will ever need.

...and then we murder him?

Imperials might have an actual retirement plan!

Also, when Ulfric's political stance is based around being a tough guy viking, and the first thing the Stormcloaks do is run from a Dragon fight while even the underpaid town guard tries to handle it? They are probably a pretty poo poo fantasy viking regardless of race relations :colbert:

I have figured out exactly what went wrong in my first video (and to a lesser degree the second) that made the quality so shredded. Turns out that I'm an idiot -- you already knew this -- and had the ratios on my recording software set in probably the worst way possible for my situation. :downsrim:

The issues have been fixed and the videos will be downright watchable from this point forward in the series!

Thank you, continue voting for the Stormcloaks or Imperials at your leisure. Episode 3 will be out about 9 hours from this posting.

Let me fix your avisynth scripts! It'll only take me a couple horus.
Note: They're all still going to be 4:3, because UZworm is playing off a CRT he inherited from the ancient lineage of UZ and can't see the two thirds of the game screen if he sets it to 16:9.

I may or may not be embellishing some facts.

Actually, there IS a stamina-restoring spell, sort of. One of the Restoration perksfeats makes healing spells restore stamina on top of the health benefits they offer.

Imperials, because it makes the Dark Brotherhood questline really awkward.

Also get the mod that lets you adopt up to six children so you can save all the solitary orphans. Mr. Puffles should be a friend of all children. :unsmith:

I still need to get around to "Play farther than the first dragon fight", but that's basically been my main justification of wanting to side with the Imperials over the Stormcloaks... even though I never got around to the civil war stuff anyways.

"Hmm, yes. Overworked secretary who didn't want me executed anyways helps lead me to saftey, while the Stormcloaks all gently caress off after talking up how viking they are as Not Valhalla gets a sudden influx of town guard souls."

I'm sure the Imperials end up to be terrible at their job. But at least at first appearance, they are at least trying to do their job :v:

Actually, the Imperials were doing a great job. They were about to execute the leader of the Stormcloaks right in the intro, after all.


e: Also, you can hit people with torches and deal fire damage to them. It's the same button-combo as shield bashing.

Episode 4 - Mr. Puffles Meets a Dragon

That's right, we finally have dragons to worry about! (The first episode doesn't count.) Highwang and Loco join me on our dragon-hunting quest.

Also, we finally have our first partner! Unfortunately, Lydia is kinda garbage. I'm calling off the Imperial vs. Stormcloak vote -- Imperials won by a solid margin -- and am now asking y'all to let me know... who's your favorite partner in the game that I can access? (None of the College of Winterhold people that I'd have to quest to reach or anything.)

Or if you want me to just keep using Lydia, you can vote for her. Gogogo!

Yeah, since she was added in Dawnguard she was made like 10x better than any other follower. She'll even interact with objects nearby when she's left to her own devices and poo poo.

just use Lydia for now and later use the Dawnguard gal

Alternatively, make a quick trip to the that Dark Elf outpost (dragonborn dlc) and pick up the snarky Dark Elf mercenary that wears the weird helmet. He has a surprisingly large amount of dialogue and is also really good in combat. Though now that I think about it you'd have to wait till that quest activates.
