What are the ups-and-downs? How hated/loved am I in Windhelm? How much will it destablise the government moving? How much better defend is Riften, if it is? How much work is it to add similar improvements to Windhelm? Will it stabilise Windhelm more if I *am* there or if I'm not and instead a citizen of Windhelm is there? Can my advisors answer each of these questions? Thanks.

Promote to/offer a place high in the government to both Brunwulf and Saerlund of their respective cities regardless.

All of them? 'cause in-game, many dislike Ulfric for that very reason. At the very least, those would dislike me no less. Insist that it is not; it was his racism, his absolute hatred and unwillingness to compromise, his greed for power and his arrogance that got him killed. In fair combat as well. I agree that banning Talos worship is destroying Skyrim's culture and that the Aldmeri Dominion, as it currently is, is our enemy. I agree that we should leave the Empire.

Try to permanently summon Arniel Gane somehow. Have all my magical friends work on it. Tell them everything I know about what he was working on.

Do the Dwemer ruins not already have huge doors and traps and machinery working? Take apart/investigate those Dwemer ruins and appliances - lifts for example  - (preferably so they can be put back together) on how to move large and heavy stuff. Similarly research different ways of making steam engines. Just to make sure, can we use the way that the automatons are powered? How are they powered? Via tiny steam engines but like, heated with soul gems? Ooh - instead of coal, use the Centurion Cores. (the automatons could be powered by tiny centurion cores? automaton cores?)

Do my advisors - ones that I trust with my secret - and followers have any solutions? Would they really kill me if I asked them to leave Skyrim?

Nice. Release any others who are actually innocent who are in Windhelm or Riften.

Will any of the other Stormcloak Holds talk to me? Do any of them agree with my morals and did any of them not like Ulfric? What is the general state of the Stormcloak rebellion?

Propaganda the hell out of Windhelm and the other Stormcloak Holds. In Winterhold, speak about how the College is not evil (most of them are cool with it except the Jarl), how I retrieved the Helm of Winterhold and helped several of them. (there only being several people in Winterhold, I've helped almost all of them) In Dawnstar, speak about how I saved them from nightmares and helped a couple of them. In all of them, speak about how I am the Dragonborn, saved Skyrim thrice or more, how the Thalmor want us to fight the Empire to weaken us all (show the books) and how I support Nordic Culture and all that.

Also, send some of my best men, and go with them, to get the Jagged Crown. (I can't remember how the two sides hear about it, but with the College of Winterhold, Windhelm and Riften libraries, the Bards' College and an interest in books and whatnot myself, plus being friends with many people who may know rumours, I assume that I could hear about it.)

(sorry about the long reply)
