Skyrim's civil war quest line is one of my personal favorite story lines in The Elder Scrolls 5. However, despite playing through it numerous time before, there are still a handful of hidden details, secrets and Easter eggs that some of us are only now just uncovering for both the Imperials and Stormcloaks. So, whether it's hidden siege equipment, or secret spies - today we'll be taking a look at 5 Skyrim civil war secrets that you may have missed.

The thing I dislike most about the civil war quest line, although I do like most of it, is there are so few tactics used in the battles,most of the time it is just a senseless charge and brawl.
@joshuakim5240
@joshuakim5240 6 жыл бұрын
The only thing i found nice about those charge-and-brawl battles is that they're the only times where Illusion enhancement spells with splash radius are actually applicable. Did a pacifist support build playthrough (would not recommend unless you REALLY like that playstyle) and Rally and Call to Arms buffing allies in those battles made them surprisingly kickass.

Impatiens the Sorry Shmuck Well firstly the only reason you were able to kill alduin is because he isn't at full power. He wasn't eating the world while you were playing, if he was there would be no way you can take him on as he has the blessing of Akatosh. As for the Harkon you have his daughter on your side she is a beast and strong af. And as for Miraak he is the only example that I agree with, defeating him was a pretty big sign of power. However dragonborn are not invincible, Talos the god of man was only able to conquer the dominion after he acquired the numidium. You don't have the numidium, you are not the emperor, even if you were there is no stable empire. I just don't think that the dragonborn has enough power to take on the dominion by himself let alone with the empire.

Well yeah, but a small Dominion vs a small Empire (that's getting smaller) or Independent Skyrim (much much smaller) is not going to defeat the former. Even if the Dragonborn sides with them. Here is the problem, there is a very obvious implementation of power fantasy within TESV, however once the game finishes that power isn't as prevalent. What im trying to say is the reason you're unbeatable in Skyrim is because you are playing. The event that take after the game are not defined by the player. So i'd rather take the predictable route rather that the emotional one. I know that if the Dragonborn invaded the dominion within the game, he would accomplish that, within the game. The game hardly ever allows for the Dragonborn to fail. Even in the civil war quest line, if you abandon the battle of Windhelm NPC's (Ulfric Stormcloak) are alerted of your personal failure, he even tells you that you acted cowardly, however the side that you were on still wins. The game does not let you fail. However once out of the game the Protagonist syndrome is over, and the Dragonborn's accomplishments after that are not certain victory. I also know that the dominion is not as powerful as it once was, but consider this, The Empire is fracturing, Hammerfell has gained independence, Skyrim is in civil war, there is a Dragon crisis within Skyrim, Red Mountain has erupted rendering Morrowind Useless, Argonia is acting shady AF, Highrock and Cyrodiil seem to be stable, however the Emperor is arguably dead, The dominion is also weaker than before, and Tamriel is still recovering from the Oblivion crisis (apart from Argonia). All in all the Dominion ( Elsweyr, Valenwood and the Summerset isles) have the upper hand, as well as the treaties of Stros M'kai and the White Gold concordat, the Blades are in hiding the Thalmor are essentially overseeing most of the empire allowing them to infiltrate and delude and confuse the people turning them against one another, no one in Skyrim has any clue of this, the Asset (Ulfric Stormcloak) is blindly playing his role in confronting the Empire, consequentially securing an ample opportunity for the Dominion. So yes the situation is pretty dire.

Ambarys hasn't been in Skyrim only ''recently'', he came when the Red Mountain erupted, that's 4E 5, some 165 years before the Great War. The Great War, as well as the Umbriel Crisis, and other wars took place post- 4E 5. It's not far fetched to assume that his armor is kept as a reward from his time in the Legion; as that's custom in the Legion, being allowed to keep your armor. No Imperial spy would hold onto Imperial armor, if they'd have it in the first place, as it'd result in being easily recognised as an Imperial. Margret is an Imperial spy, no Imperial armor on her, just records of her mission, which is exactly what a spy would have, not a set of armor.

The Forgotten Hero The Real Barenziah says that elves can naturally live to 1000, but due to disease and conflict don't usually live anywhere near that long. No source really contradicts that claim-- Barenziah herself is one elf who's pretty ancient (she was a teenager when Tiber Septim was conquering Tamriel) and there's no sign she used magic to extend her life.

They call Boethiah (one of the "darker" Daedric Princes), Oblivion's nobility.... i like to think, that her shrine above the city of Windhelm influences the people. Just think about it: The Lady of deceit, conspiracy, secret plots of murder, assassination, TREASON, and UNLAWFUL OWERTHROW OF AUTHORITY, the Prince of Plots, the Dark Warrior, DECIEVER OF NATIONS... and now compare that with Ulfric and what he did.... Oh, and before I forget: If you sided with the Empire, the guards just say that the Throne of Solitude is cused, because both the High King and the Jarl died only months apart.

What I like about the Civil War is how much it is connected to the main questline, especially with the caunsil part. If you know you're going to be a Stormcloak, you'll better give every hold to the Empire so that you can conquer all these parts back, making the Civil War that much longer. Make sure you're thane of every hold before giving them away so that you can become thane again, and receiving new reward weapons for it. It's a completionist thing mainly, but one to keep in mind nontheless.

I actually did fight through the necromancer's dungeon before, and I really enjoyed it. I thought her idea to use necromancy to fight a war was genius, for every soldier killed in battle, she would gain another member of her own army. The only problem to this exponential growth of army size would be the maintaining and expanding of the spell. She could have brought an era of piece to skyrim. And if I remember right, she was doing a good job at raising a mass grave full of bodies, so she may have been able to pull it off. She would be named the greatest necromancer of all time indeed.

Did you guys see that you can now effectively build forts and settlements in Skyrim? It works surprising well, I'm only on Xbox One, but the mod is called Tundra Defense by Elderwind, it works really well with the NPC's travel type mods and such and you can recruit random npc's to live and fight for your forts, etc. Open Civil War by Simtam gives you that fleshed out feel along with some of those battle site mods and stuff.

The Dungeon quest "Siege on the Dragon Cult" has an elf posing as an officer of whichever side you chose for the war. However, after you kill him at the end, everything in his camp is still listed as Steal and adds bounty in the Rift, even though NPC deaths unlock their inventories to be looted like normal.

I used to always side with the stormcloaks untill i decided to make a roman themed character. But now i side with the imperials because of some dialogue that can be had with General Tulius. At the end of the civil war questline if you stick around after the speech he gives he actually reveals how he actually feels about the thalmor and that he still considers them an enemy and an issue to be taken care of in the future. Yea i think an independent skyrim would be better but the empire is truly the most capable at taking on the thalmor, especially with the Dragonborn backing them up. We can imagine that in the next Elder Scrolls game there will be some kind of lore about the Dragonborn saying how insanely powerful he was/is even though as the player your limited in how strong you can be due to gameplay mechanics, theres no limit to how strong you could be in the lore of the elder scrolls, perhaps if the dragonborn is dead by the next game he will have reached divine status like talos did.

If you host the summit with the Grey beards and give the stormcloaks the reach while you're supposed to be meeting soldiers to raid the silver shipment, the quest breaks giving you no quest marker to move forward.

if you play the stormcloaks side to end tullius will say i think something like that : "Dont you know , that the thalmor wanted this? " so the thalmor want that the stormcloaks win but in a letter about the civil war stands it would be not so good if they win ... i dont know what to say i like it more if I play a old nord and the stormcloaks win just for the tradition and so on ... But the imperals are right i think because tullius said at the end of the quest in the imperal side : " im not sure about the peace with the thalmor " and the legat said: talos be with you ulfric ...please make a discussion my dragonborn companion

When I first started playing the game, I wanted to experience Skyrim before the war. So naturally, I didn't start the quest and went nuts on God Mode. Well, it turns out I got the Jagged Crown before the quest was even given to me and when I finally wanted to join the Stormcloaks, the civil war was broken (they kept walking into the room and repeated their dialogue several times before I would just leave) and I couldn't play. I had invested 100+ hours of gameplay into that one character too...

If the dark elves want things to improve they can do it themselves but they don't. They are stubborn and refuse to help in the war effort in any way. There are many high elves in Windhelm. Even they are more trusted and own land along side the nords. Maybe it isn't because the dark elves are elves. Maybe it's because they refuse to conform to the rest of the community. They are guests and yet they act like the guy in his 30's in his parents basement. Both sides are have culpability, you should act as if the 30 year old is somehow a victim. I've tested and if you only help dark elves you can still be thane. So it's more neutrality that an active push down.

What would have been awesome with the jagged crown, if instead of giving you a sword with a absorb health enchantment at the end of the war the leader lets you keep the jagged crown. Also even better than using it to change sides, reverse pickpocket it on to Ralof then after the quest is over pickpocket it from him in the Sleeping Giant Inn. So there is a kind of way to keep it

the dark elves of morrowind were a slave trading, incredibly xenophobic and racist (thinking every other race beneath them no better than beasts of burden) and a mortal enemy of the kingdoms of skyrim for millenia. the simple fact that a dunmer could even live in skyrim without being skewered by the populace, let alone in windhelm, is a massive gesture, especially when the dunmer have never and will never extend such a kindness in their entire history.

John Blood the Dark Elves only have so much beef with the nords because of Ysgrammor invading Morrowind on his quest to kill all the Elves and took Skyrim from the Snow Elves. What you say is true about how they felt about beast races like Khajiit and Argonians but it’s more the High Elves that think everything is beneath them
@159tony
@159tony 6 жыл бұрын
Wrong. the elves had their beef well before then. plus, ysgramor's quest to kill all the elves are the events during and after the songs of return. To the atmorans, the only good elf, after the night of tears, was a dead elf. Plus, morrowind also housed some snow elves. The tomb of the snow prince should tell you as much. Ysgramor was on a quest of revenge, other elven nations just got in the way. But i'll still say that the dunmer have well deserved whatever treatment is tossed their way during this time of the fourth era, not because of any "yaargh, their ancestors commited great evils" no nothing like that. but because some of those elves, or indeed most of them, committed to that kind of bullshit when it was still ongoing in the third, second and some even the first era.
@Hazy18
@Hazy18 6 жыл бұрын
John Blood exactly, the Atmorans judged an entire species group on the actions of one type of them, the Snow Elves, whos home they had invaded in the first place. The Chimer/Dunmer were too busy warring with the Dwemer at the time of the Night of tears and only started fighting against the Nords when the Atmorans started to invade the border of Morrowind which caused the Chimer and Dwemer to put aside their differences for a time to work together against the nords. I’m not disagreeing with you that they did do bad things but neither the nords or dark elves are any better than eachother, I’m just biased because they’re my favourite race of the ES games but it’s not a very valid point to use their looking down on other races like Argonains and using them as slaves considered how all the nords treat the Argonians and Khajiit during Skyrim as well as the Dunmer, even blaming them for the collapse of Winterhold along with most nords views on High Elves, when not all of them support the Thalmor and also how they look down on Bretons as half Elves and magic users.
