So I came up with this revised story arc that allows the player to choose when to participate, adding more branches and different outcomes, and intertwining the civil war plot with the main story so it seems more relevant.
In the face of the dragon threat, the civil war feels petty and irrelevant, and yet, even the dragon crisis has no real gravitas.
You get pulled into the dragon debacle, and from there you never get a chance to do your own thing without feeling the nagging urgency of the dragon crisis breathing down your neck. The beginning feels very rushed, dragging you along, never letting you CHOOSE to participate. I've been thinking about the Main Quest and Civil War quest in Skyrim, and like many, I am more than a little disappointed in poor pacing and lack of real consequences in the story arc.
