In skyrim leftists like to side with the imperials, who let thalmor agents kill Talos worshippers and who view other races as lesser beings only meant to be subjugated and exterminated, but since the stormcloaks shout "Skyrim belongs to the Nords" and slighty mistreat other races then "THATS WAAAACIST!" Also dat Ulfric Stormcloak speech on self-determination:
I wonder how differently the leftist would react if the nords were replaced with redguards (black race in skyrim) wanting to free themselves from the white devils and the evil colonial (Roman) Empire?
Also leftist like to use the "GOTCHA" letter from the embassy where the thalmor captured and interrogated Ulfric Stormcloak and think that he is a thalmor plant when it is super obvious from the letter that he is uncooperative and the thalmor would like a prolonged civil war to weaken both the empire and skyrim and not a quick Nord unification under a strong Nord ruler.
That being said I have 0 faith in Elder scrolls VI and Bethesda will probably make the Dragonborn join the Imperials as canon, even though it will not make no sense since dragonborn are more in line with the Nords and Ulfric strongly respects the Graybeards and nord traditions. It being the current year Bethesda will probably make a retcon on how Ulfric was a coward and and died a traitors death or something.
Watch this become EXTREMELY relevant.
Hey, I think I've heard this one before!
In the past, Bethesda has done a good job in the Elder Scrolls games of spacing things out enough so that there's no real decisions from the previous games impacting the future games. See the Nerevarine just vanishing and then Morrowind blowing up, or the Warp in the West.
In this case, though, I'm not sure. Even discounting the politics, what they've done in Fallout has majorly soured my opinion of them. Given their apparent massive boner for "everything must have Brotherhood of Steel, all the time!" I could easily see that being translated into "There must always be an Empire!".
The logical continuation of the storyline, though, is the Empire disintegrating (regardless of Ulfric), and then TES VI being rebuilding something from the ashes of it. Somerset, Valenwood and Elsewyr are under the control of a hostile, foreign power. Hammerfall got abandoned by the Empire. Morrowind is in chaos and ruins following the eruption and Argonian invasions. And Black Marsh was never really that integrated with the rest of the Empire to start with and broke off to do its own thing following the Oblivion crisis. That leaves the "Empire" holding:
Cyrodiil - still recovering from the Thalmor invasion High Rock - a historically problematic province full of power-hungry nobles Skyrim - in open revolt
Even if Ulfric gets put down hard and Skyrim fully bends the knee, the Empire is doomed.
