The Stormcloaks didn't attack the Thalmor Embassy because it would've been bad optics.

Yeah, I hate Cormac McCarthy fans too.

12 year old me discovered ulfric was a thalmor agent high elf loving shill back in 2012 and went empire yet retards on /lgbv/ still defend him

Why would you attack the embassy? It's isolated in the middle of nowhere and has nothing of strategic importance.

The only way to repair Skyrim's ravaged economy and labour-force following the staggered defeat of the Stormcloak insurgency is through the steady introduction of unskilled Orsimer tribe-folk.

It's part of Bethesda's lazy writing where they don't add in any proper villain paths. Choosing bloodshed over the Jarlmoot and betraying the Way of the Voice would put the Dragonborn on the same level as the barbarians that destroyed the Nord Empire and steeped countless innocents in honorless bloodshed, just like Ulfric was doing with the Civil War.

Two more weeks and our 4D chess plan to defeat the Thalmor by always obeying the Thalmor and giving the Thalmor everything they want will finally come to fruition

Trust the plan and praise the Eight

>giving the Thalmor everything they want
But the Empire didn't let Ulfric be transferred out of Helgen to give him a chance to cause more destruction to Skyrim like the Thalmor wanted.

You can't touch the (((Thalmor))) unfortunately. Such is the way of life.

>we'll just attack the people attacking us and then attack the other people who are supporting the people attacking us who have yet to attack us to make things 2x more difficult
I refuse to believe you're this brain dead, remove the empire first then deal with the thalmor. Taking both of them on at once would be fucking stupid

Skyrim is rated M for ages 17+

It would also result in a reformed dragon cult steamrolling the Aldmeri Dominion.

Attack one enemy at a time. First the Empire, then deal with the dirty je-Elves.

Bethesda probably didn't want to program a second Thalmor Embassy mission in case the player did the Civil War stuff before the plot.

Can't believe idiots are thinking it's some conspiracy when Bethesda are lazy fucks

Because the Empire wants to keep its hands on territories and will not let ANYBODY go. They are possessive and will kill to not lose a province. They do not care that Hammerfell's resistance against the Thalmor is ongoing, they don't care if Skyrim and Hammerfell were to form an alliance they could survive as independent states, they want Skyrim as their territory so they can go through their whole "let's just deal with it for now and stick them later" plan with a larger force.
Ulfric doesn't attack the Thalmor because that's a casus beli for the Aldmeri Dominion to invade yet again, and the human territories have not fully recovered yet. He needs space to foster an army of Hoag Elfkillers, space the Empire won't give him.
Ulfric is a destructive force that is an actual threat to the Empire because the Empire wants to retain its territories and will destroy itself doing so. Of course the Thalmor want him around. The Thalmor want Ulfric around like the Japanese want typhoons, because sometimes they kill their enemies for them. It's not like the typhoon is on their side. It would kill them all the same. It's just useful to have them because other people are dying to it.

No shit dude, it's almost like they were in the middle of a civil war and declaring war on another foreign enemy at the same time is a poor decision.

The only reason why the Thalmor benefit from the war is that it's a huge resource drain for everyone involved. Why the unholy fuck would they join in?
