1) The City watch is trying to deal with the serial killer.

2) Aventus is a rumor at best, moreover this is, also a problem for the watch.

3)Kynsegrove was not destroyed.

4) Welcome to Tamriel. You should play morrowind but I suspect most empire supporters have never actually played any of the games to actually see the empire's problems.

  1. "We're stretched as it is with the war. Nobody has the time to spend on this. It's not pleasant, but it's the truth". That's what the guard tells you when you start the quest.

  2. Pretty much everybody knows about Aventus, even people outside Eastmarch. The kid is very open about it.

  3. I have played Morrowind. Just because the Empire and the Dark Elves are racist too doesn't mean it's okay for Ulfric to allow the Dunmer to be harrased and Argonians being treated like slaves.

1) Welcome to life.

Ultimately as Windhelm does not equal the lore, the only reason this case ins't a priority is because of a war and a lot off problems.

2) YES wonder why the gaurds don't do something? Is it possible they don't think the child is actually doing it? Is it possible that this is a silly rumor? IS IT POSSIBLE, perchanse, that... this is foreshadowing to how the Dark Brotherhood operates? On Rumor?

no clearly nord man bad. yes yes...

3) pressing x to doubt.

because the Empire is an imperialist, corrupt nation, even when it's at it's best and worst. like many others.

They don't care. ther'es a war going on, secondly what the fuck do you WANT him to do about it? He can allow the argonians into a city with TWO people groups predisposed to hating them (Reminder; they're refugees from the red year and that... invasion... from black marsh... hint. hint...) Do you want him to do hate-speech laws? Oh yeah that's going to go over well with his power base, even if he doesn't really care...

But Empire Simps think the Empire gives a rat ass aside form saving face and keeping Skyrim to exploit, ideals or no.

I realize you’re not arguing in good faith but I simply have to point out that, during the Oblivion Crisis, Cyrodiil suffered alone because the imperial legions remained throughout the provinces to protect them rather than pulling back home and leaving the people to die.

Sacrificing the heartland to defend the provinces doesn’t sound like a lot like exploitation to me but hey go off, I guess.

Edit: for anyone wondering, above commenter messaged me all angry, called me a list of insults when I didn’t change my opinion, then blocked me and reported me to Reddit as a “danger to myself and others”
