Which Alliance Is Your Favorite? Why?

Jemcrystal

TESO has three factions. Daggerfall Covenant are the Bretons, Redguard, and Orsimer. Ebonheart Pact are the Nords, Dunmer, and Argonians. Aldmeri Dominion are the Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit. Which alliance do you like most? Why is it your favorite?

You can pay cash shop to switch the alliance of your race if you are creating a character for the first time. Not many do this because paywall and no way to switch after you start a char.

I entered the game six months ago as a Dunmer. I don't think I would have given two thoughts to my faction until I entered pvp. First impressions stick. I absolutely hate the AD and DC. To me you are my enemies. I will forgive you if you pve only. The way I forgive wood elves who don't see me as an ingredient in the evening stew.

Also, our landscapes are better looking. I'm loyal to the Ebonheart Pact.

During beta of the game I created 3 toons for each faction.

AD: I really do not like the area's in AD territory. Also the quests where my least favorites
EP: Nords are cool and so are the snowy mountains. I love the alien landscape of Morrowind and it's weird creatures. Quests where also fun to do.
DC: And then I fell in love. Pirate theme'd Stros m'kai is for me the best starter island. The 2nd island Benthik was very fun to do and DC is the only alliance I actually loved all zones and quests.

So DC it is for me. I wanted to create in Imperial back then but because of DC I created a Breton and didn't have any regrets. I now reserved my Imperial to play as Warden.

DC bc blue

DC. Blue 4 lyfe.

It's ironic to see EP questlines fighting DC Necromancers & AD questlines fighting DC Necromancers, yet a lot of DC questlines is fighting Non-Faction Necromancers.

ZoS logic.

Enjoyed the DC quest line the most, though the map is plain awful to get around in some places.
Don't really have a preference. I'm AD but it matters little.

AD by far has the worst maps to get around all those mountains a narrow paths that you have to loop way around to get to ur location ugh I hated questing and fishing is AD.

andreasranasen

AD is the master Alliance. Didn't we win the war?

UntrustedExistenz

In every TES game I played a Dunmer. So it's wasn't a hard decision

Jemcrystal

I never thought to ask until now if Imperials take a side in the war?

Ebonheart Pact. I hate bretons, dislike altmer, bosmer and redguards. Knowing what AD will become in the future, I cannot justify any of their causes. Won't even comment on DC, they are fake and **********.

JD2013

DC for life.

Zergenheart Pact is for Skyrim kids and AD is for racist elves.

I play all of them but I enjoy more playing on DC.

On my server and platform DC is the less popular alliance, while others alliances can have full on 2 campaigns we struggle to get full on 1, we never have scrolls or emp and we always get rekt but that's what I like, being outnumbered, fighting 10 reds and 10 yellows while I'm the only DC there, this alliance made me the player that I am, it forced me to play solo, it forced me to be outnumbered, it forced me to create builds for it and to use different skills for it, this is why I love DC because this alliance is the only reason I am who I am in this game and I would be always grateful for it.

I will always remember those days in Azura when we got pushed to our doors, AD pop locked DC 0 bars and I was the only one with balls to go and try to 1vX them, I was dying and coming back, dying and coming back, getting tbagged but coming back while my alliance was using siege weapons and scared to fight them I was the only one on my tree fighting, I died maybe 100 times in few hours but then I did it, I killed 3 of them in a 1v7 with 290cp then I died but I didn't gave up and I came back then players stopped attacking me and watched me and then I realized that they were scared of me only few were still attacking but I've died so many times that I already knew what to do so I killed them again and again and again, always outnumbered always solo and started feeling this sensation of power, being feared and it became an addiction.

Now I can stand in the bridge of Alessia while a zerg of 50 red players will go through me and no one will try to fight me, I will never find any game that provides me this type of sensation that's why I will never leave.

Which ever alliance my current character belongs to is the best.
The others suck and cheat. That is until I change characters.

Maybe you stayed dead this time and are a ghost and don't realize it yet.

Its tied for me between AD and DC I just love the characters and quests in both alliances but if I had to choose I think I would go for AD especially since they are they only alliances that still stands even though they are now racists and war criminals. I never could get into the EP quests line..

Tempah

DC and AD

Duiwel

The Covenant!

Their cause is true, their banner is blue, their enemies I slew.

A lion is mighty & king, High King Emeric is brave & wise. Bretons and Redguards are fantastic allies because they compliment eachother so well, Orcs are fierce warriors. Bill Nighy.

They are also the only alliance without slaves

DC is the best at small scale PvP

Jitterbug

The Swaggerfall Brovenant

MLGProPlayer

AD because they're the best.

KingDasDing

Dunmer Masterrace. So EP

mariskaas

I made a character for each alliance and now little bit over halfway through EP, and finished the other two. So my number one is probably AD, since it is the first alliance I played with my very first character, a khajit, and I didn't know *** and just have good memories of that. Also grahtwood, greenshade are awesome areas, Razum-dar is great, velyn harbor in malabol tor is still my go-to city and the quest line in repears march was awesome.

EP I came to enjoy when I entered shadowfen. It's a really cool area and interesting argonian quests.

DC I found the most boring. I really liked alik'r and the desert part of bangorai but the other areas I really don't like so much. Also worst sidekick.

So AD best than EP, than DC

Seraphayel

Daggerfall Covenant. Best maps, best questlines, best alliance. I found them to be the “most harmonizing“ faction in ESO, the ones with a greater cause. EP just feels wrong and pretty silly and AD is just so self centered because they're the master race bla bla bla.

Vulture051

I like AD best but all my toons are DC for simplicity and PvP. +being DC means I don't have to do DC for Cadwell.

Molydeus

DC

Best story
Best color
Best races
Best leader
Best quests
Best houses
Best landscape
Best everythings

DC forever

This is a great discussion, it's good to see everyone's opinions and how they differ!

My favourite is the Aldmeri Dominion, all the zones are very scenic though I can understand that Valenwood may be a bit repetitive to some I really enjoyed the quest line there too, it felt like I was important to the alliance and it's people. Daggerfall Covenant comes closest in this regard, and Ebonheart Pact a distant third. A lot of the questing there felt a bit disjointed, though I love all the zones bar Shadowfen.

notimetocare

DC, no abject racists

Turelus

Ebonheart Pact.

Dunmer are my favourite race and volcano's and snow are two of my favourite environments in games. If we could get rid of that stupid bog at the bottom of our faction it would be swell though.

Nope, it's 100% accurate on every level.

PS4 EU HADERUS:

AD - Has the numbers for full map take over/ however does not pay attention to the map, Has some epic players.

EP - The strong tanks and nightblade killers. Can organize a full take over however AD normally comes up around and takes them out. Has some epic players.

DC- Ahhh the Smart ones, Less numbers however these guys know how to coordinate their teams. No joke, they can take the map over by knowing that AD and EP are too busy fussing with each others hair. Smart players and clever tactics. However they lack the numbers.

If you want to zerg, go to AD

If you want to play the hold your fort with the pure power tanks EP is your go ahead.

If you want friendly players and smart tactics DC it is.

My favorite has to be DC. However I love to play my AD and EP characters...so imn generally the traitor of the map...I don't share secrets though I swear! I just....observe...
