Should i attack whiterun

You will not lose your house in Whiterun or have anything reset. Nothing in Whiterun changes until the battle is over, so you can go about it normally until you're ready to battle. User Info: Kazandersand. Quest items don't weigh anything. I'm pretty sure nothing in Whiterun actually changes other than a few new faces in the throne room. Oh and you get a new dialogue with people that asks them about the battle and how it effected them.

Drugs are never the answer, unless the question is what isn't the answer. User Info: marrax. This is the same deal as with the other Jarls, you need to do 5 things to help people in the Hold pretty easy for Whiterun, you've probably already qualified and own property which you already do.

I'd suggest closing off as many quests as you can in Whiterun; in particular collect any bounties from the Steward before starting the battle.

He'll wind up in the basement of the Blue Palace in Solitude and you can still hand in outstanding bounty quests when he's there but it feels The city winds up in a bit of a messy state post-battle and never gets repaired. User Info: gamesmaster12be. Maybe I will stay neutral this playthrough instead Whiterun gets trashed no matter which faction you join. From an aesthetics POV, better to go with the Imperials since the damage done to Windhelm is less significant and visible than the damage done to Solitude.

Or, as is pointed out, stay neutral. User Info: cpg2. Did they change the destruction of Heimskr's house? Or change how it could bork up some Thieves' Guild radiant quests? City Guards are heading towards the city gates to aid the defense, and the sky has turned a sickly orange from the smoking buildings. Proceed to the staging area just outside the main gates. Legate Rikke will be giving a short motivational speech to the combined forces of Whiterun Guards and the new reinforcements of Imperial Soldiers.

Once the speech is done, your new objective will be to defend the wooden barricades from the invading Stormcloak soldiers. If you enter the city at all during the battle, terrified citizens will be seen fleeing from the taverns and shops to their own homes, where they will lock the doors to prevent anyone from entering.

All shop owners will lock their doors, including the taverns; stall owners will flee, as well. Defend the barricades by killing the Stormcloak soldiers trying to get in. If you fail to defend the barricades, you will have to fall back and defend the drawbridge instead. Failing to defend the drawbridge has little consequences, as the quest is impossible to fail unless you die.

There will be a percentage count of how many Stormcloak soldiers are left. Upon being victorious, Jarl Balgruuf will deliver a speech to the men after Irileth makes an announcement. Irileth: "Everyone, on me! The Jarl wishes to speak!

They already sing of your valor and skill! The halls of Sovngarde are no doubt ringing with your praises! In defeating these Stormcloak traitors, you have proven the hollowness of their cause and the fullness of your hearts.

The citizens of Whiterun are forever in your debt! But Ulfric will not stop here. No, he will continue to strike out against any true Nord who remains faithful to the Empire. He will continue to sow discord and chaos wherever he can. And so, we must each one of us, continue to fight this insurrection, lest our fallen brothers have died for naught! Lest our honor be lessened should we allow these bloodthristy beasts to prowl our lands! Carry on men, my gratitude and blessings go with you!

Stormcloak - attack and overthrow Whiterun Doesn't Windhelm get attacked afterward though? Is that related to the quest Battle for Whiterun or is that when I do missions with the Imperials? User Info: DarkSeraphM. I'm not really understanding what you're asking. It's been a while since I've done the civil war quest, I know for a fact that Whiterun gets attacked regardless. The side you choose just determines which side of the battle you're on, either the defending Imperials or the attacking Stormcloaks.

The Stormcloaks attacking Whiterun is the next quest after the whole axe thing regardless, nothing is "screwed up. Doesn't Windhelm get attacked afterward though?

The Battle for Whiterun is part of the Civil War quest. You will have several missions to complete for the Imperials after the battle, and then once all of them are complete, you will then attack Windhelm. This doesn't happen immediately after the Battle for Whiterun, though. As tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the earth.

Windhelm does get attacked, that is the last quest in the questline though, and Whiterun is about halfway in the questline.

Windhelm will be attacked at the end of the quest line if you side with the Imperials. Solitude will be attacked at the enof of the quest line if you side with the Stormcloaks.
