Not sure whether it is a bug or something.
Just for kicks I travelled to Auridon on my DC Templar and found out that the guards do not attack me.
Heck I am able to get quests also from AD !!!
How is this possible ?

✭✭The entire world is open for everyone to explore as they want, in whatever order.
Only Cyrodiil base is restricted to your faction.1 -
static_recharge✭✭✭✭You always could, but before they streamlined it with One Tamriel you would have to do the factions in a specific order with a quest explaining how you got there and all that. Now you can still do that quest, but you can also just go where ever you'd like in non PvP areas and they won't treat you any different. It's to open up the game and make it easier for people to group.0 -

But it does not make sense...right ?
For example at the end of Auridon questline I have to kill DC raiders.

Because it's a game? And "freedom"?
As mentioned, before the One Tamriel patch, the way it worked was that you'd play through your faction quest, and then Cadwell would then say "Ah, but what if you'd washed ashore somewhere else?" And then you could play through faction 2. And then when you finished that, you could go through faction 3.
Now, with One Tamriel, you can just skip around to wherever you want, whenever you want. And you'll always be the "local" hero for whichever faction you happen to be in. Your starting faction only matters for pvp.

He is traveling in foreign lands and helping (or killing) local citizens. It's a big world and you can go wherever you want. If you don't want to do a quest to kill some DC raiders, tell the NPC you refuse to help. There is no need to do every single quest if you don't want to.
Roleplaying is simply choosing to do whatever you think the character would want to do, go where they would want to go etc. It's an MMO, so there is not the level of detail in a single player game, but you still have some choices in certain quests and of course the option to skip them or just do the ones that seem interesting.
Personally I like this approach more than having to do the entire main quest, then pretending you are reborn or whatever just to see how the enemy factions live at Cadwell's request. There is some occasional alternate dialogue from NPCs remarking on your race, maybe it would help a bit if there was similar dialogue remarking on your homeland, but it didn't feel like a big deal for me.

Because Zeni is dumb sometimes. The game used to be believable and it didn't normally allow you to go to places outside your alliance.

Ty for your input.
I agree it doesn't make sense.
1) You do not need to do all quests.
2) In most cases the rather counter intuitive quests don't affect the completion of all achievements, so you simply just loose XP.
3) Audrion however is the exeption. If you do not finish that quest ( I assume its related to firsthold) you will loose the possibility to finish cadwells silver (reward is: soul shriven motif) as well as cadwells gold (bc these quests are linked evenso OT "overs all possibilities" (/irony off ...).
4) You can pick up the main story in the other zones.
When OT was introduced quite a number of players provided feedback to the effects OT will have in terms of breaking the narrative. We have been very concerned about loosing an essential aspect of a qualitative good part of ESO (compared to other parts of the game the story always used to be a solid rock plus) - depth in story, an engaging narrative that is able to carry you through and guide your steps. ZOS knew that new players might experience a broken storyline because they do what they are encouraged to: explore Tamriel. I am sorry to bring this to you: We really tried to give you a chance to have a better experience, we failed, sorry.Edited by Elsterchen on June 1, 2017 1:47AM3 -

Basically you are now playing as a mercenary. Anything goes.
You CAN run through as the game originally intended - but even then you technically wind up killing people of your own race and / or faction. (during Cadwell's silver and gold)

Well, maybe bc ZOS decided its totally fine that everyone has a big sign in the fractions color next to their name floating above their head?
No seriously, the same way guards in our rather dark RL historical ages knew you "didn't belong", remember: Beeing able to play every race in every alliance is (and has been) restricted to those who pay extra. Before OT this did show (imho), creating a atmosphere of "in fraction"-races making up most of the population, plus a few "other fraction"-races inhabitants - just as expected (you know love or money or crime make one move around a bit, its not only politics that is on ppls minds).2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I think the T1 changes are an improvement. I would much rather decide my own limitations that have them issued to me. The devs have no idea what my roleplaying desires are. The best they can do is give me lots of options - like T1 and any race / any faction. Last I checked, you could walk through a zone not of your faction and ignore their quests if you wanted.
Frankly, I'd really like to have a 'no faction' option. Like mage/fighters guild NPCs basically have.PC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo1 -

Do the Vestige questline, and you will understand. There's an explanation for that.
This is an oversight from one tamriel, ZoS forgot to tune the story to explain about Cadwell's Silver and Cadwell's Gold for people who haven't done the Vestique questline.Aldmeri Dominion Loyalist. For the Queen!1 -

I totally agree on the bolt part. I really would love the option to play the quests in the order the story writers had in mind when designing ESO. This is not possible anymore... primarily not because of OT, but because there simply is not a single mechanism or option or something as simple as an entry in the journal, that brings you back to path once you dared to take a few steps on your own. And even if you have played the storyline already its hard to keep everything in an order that quest progression makes literal sense. Plus some pathes are simply hard to find, even without OT I missed the path to alik'ir (was halfway through bankorai before I figured out how to get there). And now imagine you are new to the game, like many ppl will be on june 6th ...

Why not? There is plenty of killing even without war. You are the vestige. You transcend factions.
It is true though that you are forced to kill to progress and that can make the narrative a bit tortured. Then again, you could refuse those quests.Edited by DaveMoeDee on June 1, 2017 2:52AM0 -

Where?
Please tell me.
I did play all fraction stories before. BUT: With my currently lowest character I lost my way. Not quite sure where to go now, and i got questmarkers leading to 3 different zones. Please tell me how to find out which is the one I should go to in order to avoid:
1) killing the big boss before even beeing introduced to that beeing the big boss.
2) total stranger NPCs greeting me like we are best friends and later on pretending to not know me at all.
3) have NPCs telling me I have done things days/weeks before I actually find out that I really have a chance to do them.
How do i do that in ESO?

You new here? Just stumble in?
OT was a community request. Players wanted to be able to play with their friends. Being in different factions made that difficult. Having leveled zones made that difficult. It also prevented just running off and exploring (something ES games were known for) since doing so at a low level was a good way to get killed.
So they introduced OT. Now content scales. You can roam, you can play with your lower level and higher level friends, even if they are in different factions. It's more inclusive.
It's fine if you don't like it. But they didn't make OT because "they're just stupid".3 -

✭✭✭✭✭Not sure whether it is a bug or something.
Just for kicks I travelled to Auridon on my DC Templar and found out that the guards do not attack me.

How is this possible ?
When One Tamriel was released, all players from all factions were now placed within the same Instance. Before players used to be separated by Faction so Pact players couldn't interact with Dominion or Covenant players within PvE zones. Now we can. In the main storyline quest, spoiler to follow...-after you defeat Molag Bal, Cadwell tells you that Meridia offers you a chance to "experience your enemies without being recognized as your faction's hero", meaning you'll be teleported to the starter zone of one of the other factions to play their questlines from the beginning as if you had chosen that faction instead, and none of the NPCs will treat you like a foe.
It's ZOS' way of letting players experience all of the Questing without damaging the Lore too much.Edited by ArchMikem on June 1, 2017 4:09AMCP2,000 Master Explorer - AvA One Star General - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

It doesn't make any sense lol. The three story lines happen concurrently. You're also killing your allies in quests from the other factions.
You can just skip those quests, or wait until you do Cadwell's gold/silver because...it will tell you that you are basically dreaming when you do quests from the other factions.Edited by MLGProPlayer on June 1, 2017 4:15AM0 -

It is true though that you are forced to kill to progress and that can make the narrative a bit tortured. Then again, you could refuse those quests.
Your character is very much a patriot if you follow the main story. If this game had a romance option, you'd be banging your faction's respective monarch based on how close you are with them.Edited by MLGProPlayer on June 1, 2017 4:17AM0 -

Now you can still do that quest, but you can also just go where ever you'd like in non PvP areas and they won't treat you any different. It's to open up the game and make it easier for people to group.
But it does not make sense...right ?
For example at the end of Auridon questline I have to kill DC raiders.
How that can be possible on a DC character ?

Basically you are now playing as a mercenary. Anything goes.
You CAN run through as the game originally intended - but even then you technically wind up killing people of your own race and / or faction. (during Cadwell's silver and gold)
But that is clearly explained as...being an illusion.Edited by MLGProPlayer on June 1, 2017 4:19AM0
