Poll: The Elder Scrolls Online - Which faction will you join?

[Drops a Sweet Katana]

Whatever the Dark Elves are.


So hows this game looking? Like TES with more players or like a WoW clone? I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely asking, I've heard very little about it.

From what I've heard, it seems to be more geared towards being The Elder Scrolls with a bunch of players. They say they're making combat Real Time rather than based on a the roll of a virtual die to give it that Elder Scrolls feel. They'll probably have WoWesque events a la raids and such, and possibly a small hotbar for things like class and race abilities. Hopeful what they promise will come to fruition.

OT: I'll probably start with Ebonheart Pact so I can see Morrowind. I didn't play TESIII so all I've seen of it are screenshots and stories.

I'm not very good with Elder Scrolls lore so I got a question; is this before the foundation of the Empire since "Imperials" are not avaliable as a playable race?

I would go with the Ebonheart Pact just because I usually go with Argonian and I've always really wanted to see Black Marsh. My question is though, why are the Dunmer and the Argonians working together? I thought they've hated each other since like, forever.

The Imperials are the shared enemy of all three factions.

The Empire is basically lead by an incompetent Emperor who allies himself with a great Necromancer to remain in power. Resulting in every province abandoning the Empire and forming their own factions, meanwhile that Necromancer is hatching a plan to sacrifice the entire world to Molag Bal.

The Imperials are the only ones still loyal to the Emperor, although a large part of them are now undead zombies so don't have much choice in the matter.

I'm going for Ebonheart and Nord simply because a Nord was my first ever Elder Scrolls character.

 

[Puzzlenaut]

Alderi Dominion, even though I hate High Elves, because I love Bosmer. Being a sneaky archer is my favourite playstyle, and pretty much my only playstyle: On Skyrim I tried to be a Mage and a brawler but in each case I found myself reverting back to a sneaky assassin

 

[Darken12]

Ebonheart. I have the Nordic soul in my blood or something. Skyrim was pretty much perfect, so while I doubt TESO will ever reach it, my loyalty remains with the Nords.

 

[JaceArveduin]

Ebonheart, because Nords, Dark Elves, and Argonians are a nice mix of everything.

 

[Dandark]

Ebonheart. I like the dark elves well enough but my main reason is my loyalty to the Nords, let all fear the Nords!

 

[Demix]

I'm leaning toward Daggerfall but willing to try them all. In fairness, the Thalmor were the racists, during Skyrim they were the ruling faction within the Aldmeri Dominion.

 

[aether-x3]

Well, If I do end up playing, Id go with Ebonheart, since my first characters in TES games are always Dunmer.

 

[Jaeke]

Spoiler: Oh I don't know...

Yeah... not only does do they have two of the most beloved races of the Elder Scrolls universe but they also have a two Demigods as their leaders??

Ebonheart wins.

 

[Legion]

I am not sure whether or not I will be playing it (I have never really managed to get into MMO's), but I'd probably choose the Ebonheart and choose Dunmer or Nord. I always tend to choose Nords in Skyrim, but that's because I find the lack of options in Dunmer to be quite annoying (like the inability to have purple eyes despite in-game Dunmer having them).

I am hoping this game may be interesting enough for me to get properly into, but it depends on how membership is handled and whether or not it is as... dull as WOW. I couldn't get into the combat system and the quests at the start weren't exactly enticing.

 

[The_Echo]

Ebonheart Pact.

I always play an Argonian. They're the best.

 

[waj9876]

I'm torn between Ebonheart and the Aldmeri. I always play as a Dunmer in TES games. But it seems to be the most popular choice for a faction. And I usually play as the least chosen faction...

I have no idea.

 

[TheBelgianGuy]

After playing Skyrim, I completely hate the Aldmeri Dominion with a passion. Damnable elves! Fo' sure I'd play Ebonheart pact as a Nord.

 

[Soviet Steve]

The Dunmer captured my soul in Morrowind so I'm stuck with them through all of the Elder Scrolls games that I'm condemned to play regardless of quality.

 

[Pat8u]

aldmeri dominion because of khajjit, I don't want to play ebonheart because of the racist dunmer and dagger fall would be my second choice

 

[Eddie the head]

You just cursed Elves and then picked the only other faction with elves in it. Just saying, although they do state in Skyrim the Thalmor are less welcome in Marrowind then Skyrim, so there is that.

On topic most of the time I play as a Dark Elf or Bretons so Ebonheart or Daggerfall.
