Personally I never saw the appeal of picking either side; your character's role in the war is far too passive for someone who's supposed to be the Dragonborn, and it seemed obvious to me from the outset that Bethesda would just render the whole thing moot in their next game, so I didn't see any reason to care about the outcome. Besides; the entire reason the Empire lost to the Thalmor is because they didn't have a protagonist on their side, and since everyone wasted the Dragonborn's limited time as a protagonist with this civil war nonsense, whoever wins is going to have to wait until the next one shows up before they can take on the Thalmor.
