Which faction should I choose in Skyrim?

The Thieves Guild is Skyrim's best faction so far when it comes to effort, immersion and content. You may have to do despicable things, like framing poor Brand-Shei, but it's worth being a lowlife when the questline rewards you with Nightingale Armor and Chillrend, the amazing leveled glass sword.

Who should I side with in Skyrim?

Pick Imperial if you want to play a character who is originally from a place aside from Skyrim, as it doesn't make sense to fight under a banner that ultimately won't accept you. Pick Stormcloak if you believe the Empire has no right to say what Skyrim denizens can and can't do, especially if you are a Nord.

Does it matter which side you choose in Skyrim?

I would recommend playing the game a bit and decide for yourself. You don't need to join either side right away, and there will be one chance to switch side after you join, so take your time and for your own opinions. That said, I go with Empire every single time.

Is it better to join the Imperials or the Stormcloaks?

Either on is pretty alright. Personally I like the Imperials LORE-WISE. Honestly both provides a pretty unique playthrough, and you get to wreck either way. However...if this is your first playthrough, and you're possible playing a Nord, go Stormcloak.

What happens if you join a side Skyrim?

Within the game - not much. There just isn't a lot of difference between siding with one side or the other in the Civil War. I mean sure, one or the other leaders gets killed and a few holds get new Jarls but that is really about it. Even the questlines themselves are pretty much the same.
