ulfric is such a whiney baby
i haven’t played skyrim’s quest “season unending” for a long time, and in total I’ve maybe done it only twice in previous runthroughs? One thing i don’t think I had previous done was do the meeting without joining either army...
Season Unending is where you have to bring the two major war sides into a room for a yarn and get everyone to agree that giant eldritch literal reality-warping angels laying waste to and incinerating the landscape is probably more important to take care of than a civil war at the moment, and we should put the war on hold for the 5 minutes it’ll take until dragons stop eating people.
The problem comes with the game seeing only one way to handle the negotiations, and assumes a singular outcome no matter what actually happens. The game lies to the player about their agency in such a ridiculous nonsensical obtuse way.
