it’s the tutorial, so you just know that the dragon isn’t going to kill you

The first time I played it, I definitely didn't know this. I mean, I knew it wouldn't kill me, but I didn't know it couldn't. I assumed that if I didn't actually hurry, it would get me.

But I agree re Ulfric. The game sets you up to make this important-seeming early decision about Imperial vs Stormcloak, but it doesn't give you any of the tools needed to engage with that story that early. Heck, I'm sure I can't be the only one who, because I was hurrying away from the dragon, didn't even realise you can enter the building with a Stormcloak escapee or with an Imperial, and just went with whichever I happened to notice first.
