Which faction are the good guys the Imperials or the Stormcloaks?

Which faction are the good guys the Imperials or the Stormcloaks?

Neither, they both suck.

>side with the power hungry thalmor puppet or the only force that can oppose the dominion
Hmm

Stormcloaks.
Either side winning is a boon for the Thalmor, so it doesn't matter in the long run.

The imperials represent a stronger united front against the real Thalmor threat.

Stormcloaks are right but they can't beat the Thalmor.

Also The Dragonborn is the rightful heir to the Empire.

Why in the series of letting you become leader of every faction, could you not make yourself king/queen of skyrim?

imperials are cucks

For the same reason that you're a fabled hero of legend with no less than 6 other guys who can do everything you can do.

There's no threat of a Thalmor invasion of Skyrim in the next century so it's irrelevant.
All that matters is the fall of the Empire--and they're severely weakened when Nord troops are out of the picture.
