To all you elder scrolls fans out there

I ask you all a question, do you personally think the Dragonborn from the elder scrolls 5: Skyrim should become the new emperor of Cyrodiil now that Titus Mede II had been assassinated? I personally think that he shouldn't because It'd create a lot more issues for the Empire Of Cyrodiil than they have right now.

Ofc not lmao. Medes will fall to the Neo Aldmeris.

Medes are already fucked anyways. Their Emperor is dead, Skyrim is in a civil war, and the elder council dissents against the Government of Cyrodiil( Amaud Motierre, the guy who ordered the assassination of the Emperor is with the Elder council which works with the Emperor to rule the empire) so the government is divided. The chances are even without Aldmeri influence the Empire is going to fail in the end.

The skyrim civil war could easily be wiped out by the Empire if they wanted to. They only have one legion in skyrim that is made up by rag tag recruits from the skyrim population of farmers. The reason that they don't send another legion up north to skyrim is because they are keeping all their legions down south on the border with the Aldmeri. What people don't realize is that even though the Empire got fucked up during the war, so did the Aldmeri dominion. I believe that the Emperor only signed the peace treaty to rebuild his forces and prepare for a second one. The rebellion in skyrim is child's play for the Empire. If the "legion" they have in skyrim wins; great, now we have another legion to join the forces in the south and a more united empire. If it doesnt; its not a huge loss anyways. Yes, you lose a semi-legion and have to station some troops up[ north to keep the skyrim rebels out, but it is not a huge loss at all. The stormcloaks have never showed interest in fighting the Empire in Cyrodiil and they really seem to only want to fight the Dominion anyway so basically you are just getting another force that is fighting on your side.

You have to realize that the Empire and the Hammerfell forces destroyed the two main Aldmeri Forces in the Great War, at the battle of the Red Ring and forcing the Aldmeri to accept a mild treaty that is the Second Treaty of Stros M'kai instead of the strict White-Gold Concordat that the Empire signed. The civil war in Hammerfell has ended with Hammerfell uniting against the Dominion, and the Empire is preparing to go into a second war as well. I will concede that the war hurt the Empire more than it hurt the AD because most of the fighting took place in Cyrodiil which devastated their cities and countryside. I think people give the AD too much credit in how powerful they are and how far up the chain of the Empire they are. The Empire knows what the AD are doing and they are stopping it in subtle ways rather than actually breaking the treaty.

If the Dragonborn sides with the Empire and takes out the rebellion in Cyrodiil and defeats Alduin which saves the world, he would most definitely be seen at worst a hero and probably approaching god/legend levels in the normal man's eyes. I could see the Dragonborn becoming the Emperor and all the provinces united under the Dragonborn could be more than a match for the Aldmeri Dominion. If the Dragonborn broke the White-Gold Concordat first and went on the offensive, he would probably gain the respect of Hammerfell and they could re-join the Empire due to a new ruler they perceive as strong. I think the Dragonborn as emperor would be disastrous for the AD.

You make good points but there's a lot stacked against the Empire versus the AD, atm. High rock is the only province that isn't facing internal conflict, and that's quite worrying because the bretons of high rock are notorious for fighting with each other over land, as the did in elder scrolls 2. At the time of ES2, the empire already held dominion over High Rock yet there was about 40 states fighting with each other, so the Bretons more than likely could fall into another internal conflict without supervision from Cyrodiil. Then you have two conflicts in Skyrim and Cyrodiil. The elder council of Cyrodiil would immediately try to seize power, as Amaud Motierre from skyrim was one of the Elder Council, so the actual internal government of Cyrodiil was divided and an internal conflict in Cyrodiil is more than likely, with an internal conflict Imperial Legions would prioritize the homelands over Skyrim, which makes it A LOT better for the Stormcloaks to seize Skyrim. Then on top of that you have the Dragonborn being a servant of hermaeus mora in the Dragonborn DLC. What do you think the people of Cyrodiil with think about that? Daedric worship is highly frowned on by the people of Cyrodiil and if people were to find out then that would mean a lot of people in Cyrodiil with turn against the dragonborn which means the internal conflict in Cyrodiil would get much more violent and less in favor of the Dragonborn as Emperor. So he has the potential of a huge succession war for the imperial throne, a possible collapse in the peace in High rock, an already ongoing civil war in Skyrim and the Dominion who still hate them and would more than likely take the opportunity to attack, even more so that the dragonborn is a servant of hermaeus mora. In high elf society as well they also severely hate daedric worship and the thalmor would more than likely attack to depose the dragonborn. Just like they originally did in the great war

Im not too familiar with the lore but i love the game!
