    In beta I picked DC. When the game went live, I picked EP. No idea why but I think the reason I picked DC in beta was because I wanted to see something different that wasn't Skyrim

    I picked Daggerfall Covenant cuz i thought its name sounded cooler than the others.

    Beta EP, EP@release, did 2 Chars after 1T in AD. Would join AD again.
    Groupfinder:
    The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

    Rulz of Morrowind:
    • The first rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
    • Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
    • Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
    • Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
    • Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
    • And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

    Tried a little bit of the 3 Alliances in the Beta.
    Picked DC because my races are Alliance locked and my first character is an Orc. Now I'm a Dunmer in EP :D

    I actually picked AD at launch and played a Stamina Bosmer NB (I didn't have the adventure pack then and really wanted a Bosmer). After about 2 weeks of struggling on a stamina build (stam and NB was totally broken in a bad way at launch), I rolled an EP sorc and DK, stayed EP for awhile, then met some friends on DC, rolled a DK there to play with them, and then eventually switched back to EP when I decided I fell in love with my Templar. I'm just a rainbow, it's k. :3

    In the Beta I picked DC because Red guard had been my favourite race since Oblivion. Started out as a Reg guard at launch but quit for awhile. Read a lot of lore about Altmer and fell for them, came back as AD and stuck with it ever since.

    I picked Daggerfall Covenant beacuse I thought it was the most democratic end to Tamriel but... I realized that Emeric only want to help nobles and not petty people :(

    So, next times, I picked the Ebonheart Pact (regardless of race): FREEDOM AND BLOOD!

    Imperial > Nord > Redguard > Anything else imo. Skyrim logic taking place, not paying attention to race traits for ESO

    I picked EP because the color reminds me of warm blood pooling on the ground.



















    Naw. I picked EP cause of Morrowind. Even though my favorite race is part of the DC.
    But that's nothing "Any race, any alliance" couldn't fix :)

    In the betas I was usually AD because I wanted to play a khajiit and the Any Race, Any Alliance upgrade wasn't in the game at the time.

    But I tried out all 3 and that's what made me decide DC would be a better fit for the character, so it's a good thing they made the upgrade.

    I was in the beta on an old account, I went with Aldmeri Dominion because khajiit. When I actually picked up the game last year, my first character was Ebonheart Pact. Because argonian.

    I like the beast races, most of my chars have been either argonian or khajiit in Oblivion & Skyrim so naturally I continued my trend :p

    AD because my friends were Elder Scrolls fans and they told me to.
    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    Though I'm playing an Imperial, I chose the Daggerfall Covenant.

    There probably wasn't any particularly pressing reason why I chose the DC, but I think subconsciously I wanted to start off in a baseline standard fantasy setting (of which High Rock is the closest thing to in this game) and quest/explore out from there. :)

    EP because my friends did. And I'm actually super glad, because having played all 3 campaigns now, I can safely say that EP had by far the most interesting geography, locations, and even story in most cases.

    The other 2 alliances were really meh for me - beautiful geography still, but nothing as fantasy-like as Stonefalls. The other 2 alliances had more "Earth-like" environments to say the least.

    Thank God for One Tam. because since then I've been able to frequent my favorite stomping grounds again. Other than going to Craglorn to hand in writs, I mostly stay in home territory for grinding XP and farming mats.

    Picked EP in the Beta,

    Picked AD in NA server (when I started) cause I hated the red lava and Stonefalls zone in general back then.

    In EU I picked DC, stuck with it, in February - March 2016 I deleted all but one of my AD and EP chars ( I had x3 EP and x3 AD ) and remade them all in DC.

    I have x10 DC chars today.

    It's sad that most South Africans get forced to play AD because most of them are AD and the guild is AD.

    I am not a part of that family for that reason, my blood is blue my cause is true.
    All the elves? I slew :sunglasses:

    I picked EP to begin with because of Skyrim.

    But, I stuck with EP because the towns are more compact and organized better, and the crafting writ surveys are all closer to wayshrines. Whoever designed the sprawling AD land needs a swift kick to the head.
