Dagmar, I'm afraid I disagree with you on new sources of lore. Their veracity can only be truly assessed in the next game. The Pig Children, originally presented, was intended to color your interactions with the Orcs in Daggerfall. The lore outcome of the Warp in the West isn't what happened in...

I'm sticking with new-fangled revisionism, Dagmar.

You people and your new-fangled batman revisionism... Sexy, yes. Hooker, no. These days everything's been recast as a harlot... (this post courtesy of the oldest 26 y/o in the world)

I don't understand, is it because I'm defending Ulfric rather vigorously here? Don't get me wrong, I hate Ulfric with a passion. He's a racist, small minded brute of a man that I relish killing. But that doesn't mean I'm willing to swallow this diatribe against him, especially when the only...

That doesn't sound at all like the Imperial Legion I've learned about across the course of four games. They've used every advantage they've had, including in the Great War, and considering with this information you'd be laying the blame of the Forsworn raiders, another of your points, at the...

Good propaganda has its root in truth. But that's evidence against Igmund, not Ulfric, anyway, whom the Bear of Markarth is about. Already we're disproving it, as wouldn't Ulfric have slaughtered those folks before barring the city to Igmund, according to the book? At the very least, it...

If our enemy were the Akazu, then yes, yes we would talk about it. Like when we talked about Saddam gassing his own people when the USA went to war with him. They are directly involved in a war with this man. If you were in a position of power, and he was your enemy, and you knew this about...

Hey, that's unfair. She's so flirty, and so comfortable with it, you know she was the girl who turned all the boys heads back in the day.

You kidding me? She may be old now, but you can tell Bothella was a fox in her hey day.

No, it also comes up when he kills Torygg. And like I said early, this is the kind of information you spread among both your army to heighten their conviction and the enemy army to weaken their resolve. It doesn't matter that it's a little dated, because the Empire's leaders would know about...

I'm pretty sure TheMuffinTop is talking about making a mod with a quest, not creating a question for your character. To answer the thread question, I'm on Xbox so I have no idea.

Good point, but I think it's equally likely to be a reference to how he handled Torygg, if not more so. From your argument, they supposedly don't consider the Reachmen worth worrying over, but they certainly consider their king, one who was almost but not quite with him, as a good indication of...

If that were true, no one would bother to write the Bear of Markarth, now would they?

When was the Bear of Markarth written? We don't know, but given the dating conventions, almost certainly not the same year as the Markarth Incident. Think about it. For many, as it says in the book, Ulfric was a hero. But at the same time, he was loudly critical of the WGC and by extension...

The same reason people in here bring it up. It's important to know the character of your enemy, and if what you know is detrimental to them, then it is valuable to spread it around. It's a weapon to cut uncertainty into the hearts of his followers and discourage new people from joining him. It...

You don't have to actively be involved in a war to spread propaganda, DM. To some in Skyrim, Ulfric was a martyr. Why wouldn't they want to discredit him, and try and snip that problem in the bud? Igmund himself says the rebellion truly started at the Markarth Incident, 25 years ago. The...

Would Tullius, though? What reason would he have for not saying anything? Pretty convincing argument to make against your opponent right there. I'm not saying it's definitely not true, Feliciano, but there's such scant evidence for something that really seems like it should be a bigger deal...

When has one's own involvement in war crimes stopped them from using them against someone else, when there's "proof" of the others involvement and none of their own? For something as monstrous as the Bear of Markarth implies, almost no one talks about it. You get a handful of people that have...

I'm slightly more pro-Imperial than pro-Stormcloak, and I do believe the Bear of Markarth is propaganda. Seriously, if it weren't, wouldn't it be at the top of jarl Igmund's talking points about the war? He was THERE.

Might be going out on a limb here, but why don't you just NOT abuse fortify potions to make fortify gear to make better fortify potions to make better etc. etc.? Skyrim is best enjoyed when you don't let yourself do every dirty little trick. Personally, I think it's BEST enjoyed when you don't...
