If you're choosing the stormcloaks to ally with be sure to do the main quest "alduins wall" before fully committing to them, otherwise Delphine of the blades will become your enemy thus making the "alduins wall" quest impossible to complete. I learned this the hard way. I've started 2 chars, one went with imperial and one with stormcloaks, the only changes I've seen so far is that when whoever you're with says we need to split up they both give you a quest, and it's to talk to a different person in Riverwood, if you go with imperial it's the blacksmith and he will give you some free items and limited info and you find the imperial guy there, gives some more info but not much else if you go with stormcloaks it's someone else in the village, gives you some free gifts as well but limited info.
I'm guessing you can find the stormcloaks guy later in the game, but I don't think it affects anything beyond the first village. Sign up to join this community.

How does choosing Imperials or Stormcloaks affect me later in the game?

While it was the Imperial emperor Tiber-Septim who declared Solitude as the capital, players ought to agree with his decision after seeing Solitude's layout.
It's only the best and most aesthetically pleasing city in Skyrim sorry, Jarl Balgruuf. It also appears as the most modern and the most defensible, unlike Whiterun which can be assaulted from all angles. Joining the Imperial Legion pretty much makes Solitude the player's home city, which is quite a privilege. A proper house there will cost the entirety of an arm and leg, however.
Nobody likes the Thalmor in Skyrim due to their nefarious schemes and the fact that their noses are thoroughly upturned to the rest of the Tamrielic races.
The Empire, on the other hand, works with the Thalmor for a momentary peace, even though they're also competing against the High Elves for control.
The Stormcloaks' confidence indirectly opposing the Thalmor is admirable in its degree of bravery. Jarl Balgruuf is one of the best Jarls in Skyrim and a true fan-favorite character.
Sadly, players will have to oust him if they decide to commit to the Stormcloaks. That's because Balgruuf will always choose to side with the Imperial Legion regardless of which side the players pick. That means he's pretty much the final enemy the players have to face in the Whiterun Siege if they joined the Stormcloaks.
Furthermore, the man who replaces him, Vignar Gray-Mane, is less charismatic, less wise, and needlessly abrasive compared to Balgruuf. One of the main reasons for the civil war was the banning of Talos, a Skyrim native and favorite son who founded the empire and ascended to godhood. The Thalmor are opposed to the idea of a mortal becoming divine and this made a lot of Nords very, very angry.
Fighting for the Stormcloaks means fighting for the right to worship Talos and help continue this religious tradition that is central to Nord identity. You can help the Nords take back their homeland and their culture.
They see the chaos and what to extend it indefinitely so that two enemies are weakened at once. But, if the imperials win, what may look like a Thalmor victory on paper could easily be their undoing.
A strengthened empire would have the means to bide their time and wait to strike the Thalmor once they are strong. If the Stormcloaks win, then the empire is fractured even more and Skyrim is left wide open for an invasion. The first friendly face you see upon waking up , Ralof is another fan-favorite NPC and potential guide to surviving the dragon attack in Helgen.
If you decide to join up with the Stormcloak army like he suggests you have the chance to battle by his side once again. Ralof appears again when you are tasked with finding the Jagged Crown. He shows up in most Stormcloak quests after that and remains a steadfast and reliable ally in battle. When you side with the Imperials, the culmination of the Civil War questline ends when Ulfric is killed. They felt that they had to in order to prevent more deaths and a more damaging and lengthy war.
You receive a lot of really good weapons and armour while on quests and when joining the legion that you can sell for quite a hefty bounty. You may also find that guards and Imperial soldiers bother you less when you enter a city. In order to support the Imperials, you have to deny the right to worship and the original culture of Skyrim. If you struggle with bending your moral compass this may be an issue.
When you enter the game, Ulfric Stormcloak has recently killed the King and you are in a cart with him, Ralof, and Lokir ready to be beheaded. The Stormcloaks believe that the Empire betrayed Skyrim by signing the agreement that ended the Great War.
According to the rebels, the Empire is corrupted by the Aldmeri Dominion and is therefore a threat to the Nordic way of life. When the Jarls and Leaders received chests of gold in order to support the treaty, the Stormcloaks viewed the Nord Imperial supporters as bought by the Empire and traitors to Skyrim. You can certainly argue that fighting for the rights of the Nordic members of Skyrim is a morally-sound adventure.
After having their right to religion and true culture taken away, siding with those looking to reestablish that could certainly help your chances of getting to Sovngarde Nordic afterlife. I wanna know too. User Info: chaosAD Same quests different areas. User Info: fortecross If you join the Imperials, you'll be told to stick your sword in the guys wearing blue, if you join the storm-cloaks, you'll be told to stick it in the guys wearing red.
Otherwise, no real difference. User Info: Jorda From what I have read and asked on the boards there is no huge difference. It's more a matter of who you feel should be the "rightful rulers" of Skyrim. It's more a choice of rebels versus the big empire than good versus evil.
Neither is even "wrong" or "right", they just feel differently about the recent events and who can best rule and protect Skyrim. Yeah its pretty much a shade of grey in who you choose to fight for. Both sides have their valid points. In my opinion the Stormcloaks have more though. Stormcloaks want to worship Talos openly and believe the Empire is too weak to be fit in ruling them anymore.
A fair point but then the Empire probably needs to be united to have much of a hope against the Thalmor in the future. They might have been well and truly knackered by the end of it but they were still on top. Another push could have tossed the Thalmor out and if they did lose then they'd be in the same situation they are now. People are still being killed left and right for worshipping Talos so its not like the White-Gold concordat saved lives.
The years since have just made them weaker. This is why I sided with the Stormcloaks in the end. They had more pros for me than Imperials do.
