1.2 Unbound

           The quest unbound is the first decision making quest I had to do in Skyrim. It started with me brought into a carriage heading to the "execution block" where I have been exposed to different aspects of mainly two groups the Imperials and the Storm Clocks.
The race I chose for the game was Khajiit because of the extra damage they deal when unarmed which will come to use in later parts of the game.



Imperial Army, the imperial Captain was the women that pushed me away from the Imperial Army because I arrived as an unidentified prisoner but she didn’t take the time to think of what to do with me. She immediately issued an order of execution. That got me thinking of what the structure of the imperial a whole and I assumed that they are corrupt and money guided group but you can’t judge a whole group based on one person and that where Hodver role comes into play as the good man who tried from the beginning to save but he only had the opportunity when dragon showed up and tried to help me escape the castle and an interesting emotional appeal showed up when he tried to save the kid , but I have already formed an image about the Imperials that still remains the same after my interaction with Hodver.


The Storm Clocks showed as the rebels that lives in small groups in Skyrim and what I liked about the Storm Clocks was how they greeted the god of death with no fear other than the man that tried to flee and got shot by an arrow but most of the Storm Clocks told the god of death “not today” because the dragon invaded the city. Rolaf had a huge influence on my decision because he talked about his childhood and how cities were considered a safe place to him and cities changed in his view as he grew older. Finally, it was the hatred towards the Imperial captain that issued my execution that led me be a Storm Clock.

  1. I have that same dislike of the imperial captain as well, she doesn't bother for a second to think that maybe your character doesn't need to be executed. However, I personally don't like the stormcloacks. I think you raised a good point about how the city walls used to mean safety to Ralof, but not later on. I don't think he actually goes on to explain what led to decline in the feeling of safety, and I think that would've added to the pathos appeal for the stormcloacks for me.
