Bizarre Skyrim Clip Shows Ulfric Getting Attacked in the Intro
A Skyrim player has clipped the bizarre moment in which a fresh playthrough is interrupted by Imperials immediately attacking Ulfric. Ulfric Stormcloak plays an important role in the Civil War storyline of Skyrim, but this player may not have been able to join the Stormcloaks after an Ulfric assassination attempt.
Skyrim starts with a faceless protagonist who has been captured as a prisoner and is set to be executed. Ahead of the execution, players enter Skyrim's Helgen Keep on a wagon that introduces a key storyline character named Ulfric Stormcloak.

Because the player isn't the only prisoner to leave Helgen unscathed, they are encouraged to join the Stormcloaks or Imperials depending on which NPC they join in the escape. During a fresh playthrough, one player found the Imperials attacking Ulfric before the wagon even came to a halt.

As the wagon enters Helgen Keep, the Imperial soldiers protecting its gates turn around and begin firing arrows at the unsuspecting Ulfric Stormcloak. With the player unable to defend him and the Skyrim NPC unable to protect himself, two arrows get lodged in his head, and one connects with his torso. The prisoner who gets killed shortly after the wagon stops is also hit with an arrow, showing that none of the prisoners are safe. The characters in the wagon don't act like anything is wrong with the Imperial onslaught, which provides more comedy to the bizarre video.
Despite most introductions playing out smoothly, this buggy cutscene highlights the hostility between the two Skyrim factions. The Imperials and Stormcloaks are at war with each other before the game even begins, and players can pick a side to join in the conflict after escaping Helgen. The Civil War largely boils down
