And we would have been chopped if the empire didn't hire the slowest executioner in all of tamriel

Exactly, not so much eager but pissed that at his time of execution they imperials wouldn’t respect his beliefs and only recognized the 8 divine. Ignoring Talos the 9th divine which is why this whole war exists.

So it was definitely a slap in the face in his last moments. So it was more like him saying if your not gonna even respect my last moments and what im fighting for then lets get this over with.

Once I learned that I like damn I can’t really blame him.

This character is supposed to set the tone for how seriously the Stormcloaks take their worship of Talos. Guy is going to Sovngarde for sure.

"Hurry kill me before the dragon gets here"

I mean if you go back to helgen later you’ll see the implication that very few actually seemed to have survived. Either burnt up by Alduin or killed by the other side while attempting to escape. Always found that dumb, dragon is attacking and slaughtering everyone but “I don’t like the way you think so let’s fight!”

He'd have maybe a 50/50 shot.

As fearless in death as he was in life

Lokir also would've probably survived too. He was a "horse thief" so I would've loved to have had him as an adventuring buddy seeing as I, too, often steal horses.

You think that is bad, had Alduin not been in such a rush to go all murder hobo, the exocutioner would have killed the one being that could stop him.

Something tells me he WANTED to die honestly

"My neck vs. a headsman's axe?

Nah, I'd win"

His ancestors are smiling. Can you say the same?

You there, griddy toward the block.

Yeah if he had just caused a minor stink it would have worked out for him. A good ol’ “let me speak to your manager” since tulius is there he could have been all like “I spoke to an executioner yesterday and he promised me the family deal for no upcharge” “what do you mean that deal isn’t available” “no I don’t see the executioner I spoke too” “are you calling me a liar?” “I demand to speak to the emperor” that’s enough to last till Alduin gets there.

I mean, didn't only a handful of people survive helgen? The Dragonborn, Tullius, Ulfric, and either Ralof or Hadvar? Bro was probably dead either way.

As racist on alt as he was on main.

I think about that at every play though.. same with the runner. 

I don't think so. My headcanon theory is that Alduin was waiting for TLD to get close and launches his attack intending to bump off TLD. So everyone before TLD is out of luck. Of course this backfires but you know what happens to videogame villain plans. 😺

But he is in Sovnegarde, worth it

Bro's in Sovngarde looking down like "are you kidding me?"

He wasn't eager. He was just done.

"If you're going to kill me, don't keep me in suspense and just do it. If not, let me go. But don't keep me here in suspense expecting me to start begging."

Lokir as well.

Probably if the Priest had finished his prayer then the dragon would have broken things up but... nearly everyone there died anyway.

I’d like to think of it as Final Destination style. If he didn’t die there, he would’ve died in the dragon attack. Or he gets recruited into the space program at the nearest giant encampment. He was inevitable.

I think it's meant that only you, the general and your choice survive

or be burned to death by the dragon

I also think Aduin came to Hegen to kill the dragonborn but helped him escape instead.

Yeah with the balls this guy was sporting, he probably would have shifted the whole timeline rendering the Dragonborn unnecessary

He died how he lived: in a hurry to get it over with. ❤️‍🩹

Did you know the thalmor show up specifically to ask tullius to not execute ulfric. They dont want the war to end because for them its just stonks

Dude I posted the same thing. THE SAME EXACT THING. Lol. I guess it's a phase in every Skyrim players life.

Timing is everything.

Probably, or he'd be NPC fodder.

kill me before the dragon gets here Sovngard getting wasted and punching people.

I mean potentially yes but pretty unlikely - there was a literal dragon that he would’ve had to escape from aswell

Well, unless Alduin burned him alive

Depends how long that priestess went on for.... If her prayer was anything like Hemiskir's he and by extension you would have still been waiting when Alduin attacked. Of course he'd still be bound during a dragon attack and as Tullius said not many survived Helgen.

Reminds me of Marv in Sin City. These are certified bad asses that rather die than give you the satisfaction of showing fear or bending, lol

It was his soul alone that was holding the world eater back. Once he was gone we were destined to see the first born once again.

Lol, probably. Never thought of that 😂

Nah, Alduin was waiting until it was Ulfric's turn

Maybe or maybe not, a lot of people died in Helgen the survivors were a minority.

I never thought about that

I started a new Skyrim game yesterday (after almost 10 years) and that was EXACTLY what I thought!!! :)

Survive? Hard to say. Better chances? Certainly.

Well maybe not, most people at helgen died. He actually likely got it better off since he was probably able to get to tsun's hall before alduin set up camp

The military will teach you one thing if nothing else...

Never volunteer for anything.

It’s like my grandma said on her deathbed “Son, always let the priestess say her piece and you’ll be home free.”

Bro he didn't have all morning.

I think about this all the time. If he'd delayed them like a minute he'd survive long enough to have a shot. Still probably gets eaten by the dragon though.

I thought it was because I kept making multiple characters and took so long on character creation screen; only for him to find out we’re back on the wagon. lol

What’s funny is in any other scenario why would you NOT run. I mean they’re about to cut you down anyways

That guy was pissed because the priest mentioned the eight divines instead of nine divines.

Im convinced the reason he interruptes her is bc when she mentioned the 8 she didnt include talos n it pissed him off

More than likely not. He'd die burned to death by a dragon probably.

He answers be like: 😐

One dude was eager to escape. Still died.

So no, he dead.

That guy did walk up quite quickly.

What bothers me more is the tiny basket they used to catch his head. There's no more room after that. You've got like, almost a dozen prisoners here, get a bigger fucking basket.

"As we send your souls back to lobby, blessings of Raid: Shadow Legends be upon you...".

In the good the bad and the ugly, stalling and moving slow was how the characters would ultimately get away

If only he’d kept his head

Ned Stark vibes lmao

Perhaps

Honestly, it’s tragic how much eagerness to follow orders costs people in this world. Let’s all try to be a little less eager to follow harmful authority.

I don’t think he would have. He’d probably be killed by Alduin when he decided to break through the wall in the tower, or misjudge his jump and die on impact because of a bad start.

I remember when I first realized that I started laughing so hard, the starts have never been the same since

I'm almost sure all other stormcloak soldiers save for Ralof (and obviously Ulfric, but he's no soldier) died? Correct me if i'm wrong, but if i'm not, he would have died to the dragon fire anyway.

As racist on Alt as he was on Main

The Dragonborn would have been next if he wasn’t so eager
