It's like Tullius making you a legate was an injoke the rest of the Legion played along with so long as they needed you. Once you've taken down Ulfric it's back to "dirty commoner".

That certainly sounds right for the Imperials to me. It probably made the game's first cut but then they were like "nah, it's more douchey to never let the player in on it."
It doesn't make much sense though. Seeing as Ulfrik managed to kill someone using the Thu'um without being Dragonborn, imagine what the Dragonborn could do if you piss him off. He even has the power to call dragons for aid, and to unleash storms upon entire cities; he sounds like someone you'd want leading your army, not opposing it.

I don't have anyone follow me around... heck the only times I HAD to do so thus far I was stuck healing the stupid bastiches.

Sandra has gotten sensitive about the way I talk to Lydia. After my scare of losing her, I think Sandra has come to realize that Lydia is a very special girl and that perhaps the way I yell “GET THE feth OUT OF THE WAY DUMMY” at her when she stands directly in my line of sight when trying to shoot my bow is rubbing Sandra the wrong way.
Plus, last night I used a healing spell (Healing Hands) on Lydia because she was hurt, and Lydia say “A healing spell? Are you a priest?” and I said to her “NO YOU DUMB BITCH YOU KNOW I’M NOT A PRIEST.” and Sandra was like “DID YOU JUST CALL HER A DUMB BITCH?! IS THAT WHO YOU ARE?!” and I was like “No, you don’t understand. That’s how our relationship is” and Sandra didn’t buy it. So now I think she sees Lydia as like, a battered spouse and I have to be a little more sensitive about how I talk to my housecarl. Sometimes I’ll say “move dummy” and Sandra will just shake her head, disgusted.

That's exactly the problem, from the point of view of someone who's already leading an army.
You would do your best to keep them in your good graces then. If you just kick him out, what are the chances that he'll rain vengeance down upon you as opposed to if you keep him stewing for a while?
"Breaking news! The Dovahkiin has been spotted laying waste to Solitude, engulfing it in an eternal tempest and splitting the natural arch it is built upon. Dragons have been spotted terrorising vessels as they make to flee the carnage. Leaked reports suggest that General Tullius, commander of the Imperial Army in Skyrim, released the Dragonborn from service after he had somewhat single-handedly freed Skyrim of its rebellious natives, and brought it under Imperial rule. According to one report, General Tullius' head is now lodged so far up Legate Rikka's arse that it'd take a bloody good surgeon to remove it."

You're reaction is rather telling though
Well, each syllable's timing in that was just awkward and weird. It's not loud enough, too... it's a fething shout, the music shouldn't overwhelm it...

Nope, I haven't even gotten close to that on any character. There's something about rushing Oblivion's main quest that put me off that type of playstyle. I want to get evrything else sorted first.

I like how the camera stays on the girl as she rolls around, failing to recover from Unrelenting Force. The music works as well/better than the original trailer for this.

I still have Legionaries refer to me as Legate, and I completed the quest line a long time ago.
Same, I did the Imperial quest line ages ago and then I did the DB and Thieves Guild quest lines. They still address me as legate and salute, makes me feel special, but I think ou have to be wearing the armor. I also wonder if it helps that I'm wearing an actual officer's helmet(enclosed face) instead of the heavy armor helmet. If you want to try, find one of the officer NPCs in one of the imperial held holds and repeatedly press the interact button to see if they salute.
On a side note I do still have people say "Is that hair in your ears?" even though I cured my lycanthrop already. So mad when I found out I couldn't kill the rest of the Circle because they're quest givers and are marked important...
It might be the imperial get-up, because strutting around in my Dragonplate just gets me classified as a civillian and warned by someone ranks below me.

Fudging challenging wizard, almost zapped me to death, luckily I "cheated" and bashed his brains out with my axe
There are a surprising number of "random events" that happen (they had like 3 whole pages of those thing in the guide book which includes family members getting revenge, battles between dragon and giant, seeing a headless horsemen ghost)
It seems almost trademark in these types of games though that no one cares who you are (unless you're the Grey Fox! Or the Arena Grand Champ to one certain person...)

Meh, half of Beth's games have really crappy main quests
Never bothered half the time in Oblivion, the end reward was pretty stupid
F3 bored me to death besides the giant robot

I saw the headless horseman once, he was just sitting there on his horse, couldn't click him or anything. I've seen other ghosts out in the wilderness, one lead me to a grave that had a magic sword in it.. but the sword was kinda wimpy compared to what I already had.
Decided I'm gonna turn my mage into a smith & enchanter too.. so I'll be conjuring flame atruwhatevers, tossing fireballs, in legendary enchanted dragon armor... some day...
@ shadowbrand I have not turned it on since my game ended at lvl 45 , ill wait for DLC.
Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

That is exactly what the guidebook says!
"You'll occasionally see a headless horseman, you cant interact with him though since he's probably in a different spectral realm and doesnt even know you're there. Maybe you can find his helmet nearby"
