I must admit, I probably would have taken up Skyrim had the option been open. The fact that you get to have the Companions as a special war asset and maybe the fuckin' Dragonborn....and Balgruuf would be my High King. Fuck yeah Balgruuf

The Companions, as far as I can remember, aren't supposed to get involved in wars and whatnot unless shit hits the fan with the force of a panzerfaust. But Balgruuf would be a pretty cool High King.
