On my Khajit playthrough I went Stormcloak -- accidentally, but then, that sorta fits a Khajit rogue's personality, so I went with it. He took a lot of abuse, but coincidentally a lot of racist nords found their pockets light. Khajit won the war, more for amusement than for principles, but standing up for independence and freedom made for a nice plaque on my wall. Or would have, if I had plaques. Or walls. I spent most of the game squatting.

On my Argonian playthrough I meant to join up with the Empire, but the character's pacifism got the best of me. After a few unfortunate-but-minor run-ins with the law, following the attempted eating of some Whiterun cows, I headed up to the Mage's Guild and busied myself there. For some reason they made me king. And since this was a PC playthrough and I'd already installed a follower mod, I decided to make my own faction, and ran around for a while setting things right with an army of wizards, and fuck the war. Modding instability got the better of me and I moved on to AC4, but that's pretty much where his story ends anyway.

My next run (when I get bored of things), I intend to play an Orc warlord. Gonna scrape together a malicious band and rape the whole world. If there's a mod that lets me permanently annihilate major cities, I need to find it first, because I mean to leave none alive. I mean maybe some orc camps, but even there, those fuckers better not question me.
