Should i switch to Aldmeri Dominion ?
Hey,
So I've started as Imperial Nightblade in Ebonheart Pact and... i don't really like it this much. It's too grim for me, i've played only for few hours and can't get past Shadowfalls. That's why i think of creating a new character in Aldmeri - eveyrthing is see looks green and nice in Aldmeri. I don't know tho, maybe it gets better later in EP, or worse in AD ? Feedback appreciated.

Sykotik_ESO✭✭✭The dominion is beautiful, trees, forest, open landscapes, clear skies, its a great area...plus you'd be part of the dominion
But yes its not grim at all save for certain quest (which is normal since this is ES) but the landscape itself and scenery is beautiful and if that's what you like you would enjoy the dominion much more.0 -
Honestly, I'd love to switch to AD, but i have one more concern - i wanna play as an Imperial, is AD very racist against humans ? Does it feel wierd to play as Imperial in AD?Inquisitio|Imperial|Nightblade|Ebonheart Pact0

Sykotik_ESO✭✭✭Nah, friends of mine play all races on The dominion and never seen an NPC be Against them or something if that's what you mean. If talking about players Then I haven't seen anyone be mean about peoples choices of race.
Everyone's very friendly.0 -
Rytfield✭✭✭I switched from AD to DC right before launch, no regrets! So why not keep that option in mind as well?
I still think AD looks beautiful and Ayrenn is an awesome character but I didn't want to be part of a steamrolling side in PvP so I walked over to DC instead. Obviously this also depends on the campaign you pick but generally speaking DC = underdog. The area's look quite nice and I must say Bill Nighy is simply awesome as High King Emeric!
Other than that you should keep in mind that eventually when you're 50+ you're going to visit the other factions as well, so you'll still visit those "grim" areas.0 -
Sykotik_ESO✭✭✭Hey don't be tryna still our dominion recruits bro
:P ya either way I think DC is pretty nice too, the dominion just seems to be the most green and lush due to it probably being closest to "the virtual ES equator" lol0 -
Castielle✭✭✭You know you want to. Just try it! For the Queen!

Playing Imperial as AD and there is little racism overall. If anything, AD is more open to other races. They just believe the knowledge of long-life brings wisdom required to defend Tamriel from certain apocalypse made by man.
Though I will admit I miss having a capital city with actual houses. Elden Root is just meh to me.0 -
Mabo✭I'd say you should have a go at it! If anything, create an alternate character and venture out into the serene islands.
The quests are entertaining, only encountered two bugged so far (you can complete the storyline in Auridon, ect,...). Of course, my view might be biased because glory to the Dominion, but the more things you experience, the more fun it can become.Server - EU

Willow✭✭✭Heheh I had to create an alt just so I could enjoy the mushrooms and Netches in the EB Pact.
I have 2 AD gals ,1 lil gal in Daggerfall and 2 in EB.Edited by Willow on 6 April 2014 20:040 -
I think I'll do this, seen some screens and it's so beautiful. Also i don't think anyone can be more racist than Nords/Dunmers.Edited by Inquisitio on 6 April 2014 20:48Inquisitio|Imperial|Nightblade|Ebonheart Pact0

Maybe for your campaign. AD is one of the dominant faction in Auriel's Bow with EP being the only one underperforming.

Dekkameron✭✭✭✭✭The grass is always greener on the other side as they say.
Personally i rather liked the hostile environment of the Pacts zones.
EDIT: Oh nd about the potentially racism against humans, then there isn't really any. but there is a sect in AD that hates all non-high elves. (espesh cat peeps)Edited by Dekkameron on 7 April 2014 16:47- Veteran Combat Librarian -0 -
It's funny to me that so many people are saying there's little to no racism towards imperials when one of the main quest central themes is racism.
That being said, we're on the side that is opposed to racism and racism doesn't impact your character in any tangible way, just certain NPCs and groups of NPCs that you are fighting will be racist against you. The good news, you can kill them! Some of them you can choose to spare if you want to be the bigger man.0
