Upon my honour, I do swear undying loyalty to the Emperor, Titus Mede II, and unwavering obedience to the officers of his great Empire. May those above judge me, and those below take me, if I fail in my duty. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!
I did a playthrough as the dark brotherhood to kill the emperor before joining the legion so I could kill Ulfrick next.
On my last playthrough I destroyed the Dark Brotherhood
I usually do that now. It destroys alot of game content, but killing Astrid when you first meet her makes sense if you want to play a character with a conscience.
In the time of Titus Mede II it seems a bit ironic
Wdym?
If you talk with people in Skyrim, regardless of their opinion on Empire itself, literally nobody believes Titus will do anything good, at best they maybe hope entire thing will not break in nearby future.
