✭✭✭✭✭It depends if ZOS logs those choices on our characters for various reasons, and if they can separate the re-done quests from the choices made.
Don't some phases in zones depend on the outcome you have chosen? So in theory you could keep switching to get better farm spawns etc.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

KeiruNicrom✭✭✭✭✭Make an alt....
Gotta agree here. The point of being able to make multiple characters is to play the game multiple times without the need for a way to backtrack.
Replaying a quest where you decide if NPC1 dies or if NPC2 dies and choosing the opposite option on the second run could cause confusion in the games code making it so both npcs show up as alive or both die. If both die then some quest progression issues could occur in later quests. I doubt ZOS would want to deal with such a headache, especially when another option exists already1 -

However I can't confirm if this is true.
I can confirm this as I have tried both options...If you sacrifice Talviah, the assassin's arrow misses Solgra and she survives. There are quite a few things that change if you kill him vs. sparing him, but I don't want to spoil too much! I would recommend trying both options, it was really interesting to see how much changed based off that choice.PC NA & EU || Mammoth Guilds - Victory or Valhalla || Altmer sorcerer main

Add quest chains with phasing.
This is another issue and separate. See no reason to limit number of characters, you have to pay for them and can only play once at a time.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.1 -

Not sure such option can be done. I even went were the sniper spawns but that action resets the quest or bug it.0 -
Zyjin✭✭Honestly even if it'd be somewhat cool to see some of the quests again, this would be a nightmare and a half for the coding of the game. Plus, we have the ability to make alts, which is essentially what this is for. You can honestly load up an alt and get to the main quest pretty quickly afterall.
So overall, i'm going to have to, unfortunately, disagree here1 -

People play this game with different expectation. Some go for pvp, some go for dungeon and trials, and some for RPG. And tho we can have ults, ZOS did not make this easy for RPG players who just want to see good quests
You guys say making ult like it's an easy thing for RPG players. PVE players can experience trials and dungeons over and over again without trouble, PVP get to play campaign and battleground without trouble. For them, ult is a bonus, something they can have multiple builds without spending money redistribute their skill points.
Now what about RPG players who want to re-experience some quests?
Yeah, right, simply make an ult. If you want to re-do the quest where you confront Molag Bal, simply make an ult AND DO THE FREAKING MAIN QUESTS OF A WHOLE FACTION OVER AGAIN, and nowww you are here facing molag bal, simple right?
Oh if you think that quest is just good and you one day think about it and want do it again, simply make another ult right? It's not like running around finish the main quests of 5 regions gonna take hours and hours.
If PVE and PVP players get to stay in one char if they want to, why can't RPG players?
And it's not like the backtrack is something extremely hard to do, the changed worlds after you finish a quest with choices are run on different servers, that is why sometimes you get the notification of "your teammate is in another version of #area, would you like to travel to them?", so If I re-do some quest and made a different choice, simply default put me in the other version of this region will do

due all respect here I doubt you have programming experience...
Which quests we done, which choices we made are simply recorded as flags on the characters, a simple tab where you can browse the quests you done, and when you choose to re-do it, simply remove the flag of this quest and all further related flags can do the trick. I'm studying computer science right now, and if an undergraduate know how to do this, so should programmers in ZOS, without much difficulties1 -
swippy✭✭✭✭✭We totally need a quest line where we get to murder Vanus.
yeah right, Vanus Galerion would whoop you out. he was trained by the Psijiics, and goes on to become legendary. you, on the other hand, don't even know how to make a portal someone else can walk through!
i kid; i mean no disrespect. that dude does suck. i was all excited about getting to meet him too, that was actually a major impetus for me buying this game, and then he's a total tool. Shalidor was cooler than him and i never gave a durn about Shalidor.
but back on topic: i don't see the harm in creating an alt. role-players do it all the time. it allows them to relive adventures they're fond of while indulging in the fun of making new decisions with characters of different motivations and backgrounds. that's what RP is all about! it seems like it would be a lot less role-playery to go back in time and behave out-of-character and change the timeline of a character's life just to see what happens.
and also, the coding doesn't seem to work exactly as you described, or else i'd never see another player standing there talking to an invisible NPC who i later discover was there because of choices made in their quest. that isn't to say that makes it impossible, i'm just sure the shards serve a different function.
in the end, it's easier for you to fix this problem than for a team to take on a new workload. and i'm jealous, as i'm almost sure you roleplayers have way more fun creating an alt than players like me do0 -

As fun as that may be, later, Mannimarco would develop quite the fondness for that particular thrall. Would be mighty mean to deprive him of the fruits of his epic battles with the toady Psijic reject.Edited by Xoelarasizerer on September 26, 2017 7:37PM0 -
