    Daggerfall Covenant because the AD has the Thalmor and their actions in Shadowfen while there is still slavery in EP because a few Dunmer Houses said no and everyone else just said fine, whatever.

    My 'introduction' to the world of Tamerial was through the Aldemery Dominion quest line involving Razum-dar and Queen Ayrenn. OMG! I loved that quest line and felt like a such hero when it was done. When I first went to Cyrodiil, (roughly 3 years ago) it wasn't unusual for people in chat to say "For the Queen" while making plans to siege a keep, during the siege itself, or after the siege ... when people exchanged stories of their glorious battles.

    LOL! I developed faction pride and loyalty early on in the game.

    Fun fact: before the game came out I was originally going to be Daggerfall Covenant, because the 4th Era Thalmor earned my ire and I'd already been to two-thirds of the Pact in the single player games. But I was in the beta, and since all my time spent was going to be wiped anyway, I figured I'd check out the other Alliances to see what I was missing*...

    ...and Queen Ayrenn and Razum-dar stole me away. :p

    Didn't help the Covenant's cause that their starting zone questlines are disjointed and boring in comparison.

    For now, it's AD -
    My guild does Events in PvP sometimes, and most are AD
    AD has the least scum-flooded chat out of all three Alliances (For now.) - Most of it has been clear, straight forward tactical talk and social interactions.

    Last time I was on EP, I saw a very disgusting conversation about the sexual acts one person would do to anyone who happened to post and a whole mess of people calling everyone else scum and talking about how they are "carrying" everything [while spending all their time on in Chat].
    Last time I was on DC, it was all a mix between creepy stalker-styled praise for one "girl" or how much of a stupid worthless *** she is - Not a damned other subject but this one "girl".
    Most recent experience with AD was nothing but tactical talk, strategy, people greeting friends, organization, and friendly chatter.

    ...Unless that changes any time soon, AD seems the best choice for the sake of my sanity.

    I also ran across an Emperor and Former Emperor wearing their Costumes and expressed my envy for that outfit - They offered to help me get Emp when the next Campaign starts.

    AD since almost launch*.... mostly due to Queen Beckinsake o:)

    J/K... it was due to the fact that the first guilds I joined were AD, and they started to play PvP at that time so I started going in with my AD char, and my AD char was a Templar (I created one of each class on launch, except NB) and I started liking it more and more and more... so, I stuck with it since then.


    * I started as DC, my first char was a Breton Dragonknight in DC.

    My chars
    Liana Amnell (AD mSorc L50+, ex EP) =x= Lehnnan Klennett (AD mTemplar L50+ Healer/Support ) =x= Ethim Amnell (AD mDK L50+, ex DC)
    Leinwyn Valaene (AD mSorc L50+) =x= Levus Artorias (AD mDK-for-now L50+) =x= Madril Ulessen (AD mNB L50+) =x= Lyra Amnis (AD not-Stamplar-yet L50+)

    Ebonheart has Argonians. Nords are ok, would be happier if the dark elves all contracted a plague and died.

    AD has the most pompous obnoxious race in the game, and a large number of said race look like walking bananas. Then there are the wood elves with their nauseatingly annoying accent and hippie ways. Khajiit are the only redeeming factor.

    Then the worst of the lot is DC, where of the three available races, two of them are the game's ugliest and the bretons are bog-standard camelot RPers with nothing interesting about them.

    Also, Ebonheart fights the most fairly in the war. A member of the dominion literally tried to kill an entire generation of argonian eggs and DC has some atrocities as well. In my quests through the other alliances, I never saw the Pact doing a single questionable thing.

    Pretty sure there wasn’t a second DC or EP, however. Pretty sure that the Thalmor (although they became scumbags) still ends up existing. Pretty sure The Queen seems the most calm, focused, and logical of the 3 leaders. Pretty sure AD doesn’t have slavery, like EP does. Pretty sure AD doesn’t have a coward for a leader, unlike DC’s king.

    Edit: AD also has cat people, AND wild leopards and other beautiful big cats wandering about. GG.

    I don't like cats in general, but the khajiit as a race are fine. I cannot abide by an alliance who wishes to make a whole people 2nd class citizens at best *cough cough* AD just for being born of that particilar group. And all 3 leaders are cowardly, they all refuse to send troops to coldharbor to protect nirn from molag bal. All 3 are afraid of cyrodiil being "controlled" by the other alliances, which is meaningless when compared to your people's lives and souls being taken from them by a daedric prince. EP has outlawed slavery, so there goes that argument. Just House Telvanni and House Dres have slavery, neither are part of EP and both are condemmed one way or another.

    The first few AD zones are quite pretty to look at. It's really quite amazing. Just love 'em and its part of why I prefer AD over the other two.

    DC has some awesome looking zone maps too, though I apply that to Glenumbra and Stormhaven.

    EP's zones are mostly desolate, though The Rift is an exception. The exotic nature of Morrowind (the province as a whole) has its appeal too, regions such as Stonefalls feel almost like a wasteland sometimes. This makes some sense due to the volcanic activity in those areas.

    AD is so full of dishonest players
    in pvp, 90% of the cheaters and exploiters are AD players. forgiveness doesn't come for those that attack children as well, AD committed war crimes in shadowfen. id personally wipe every AD out for that action. Ad zone chat is more likely to get furry comments and weird crap i dont want any part in.
    DC player-base is so full of people that literally cant handle a tbag, its hard to take DC seriously in any case.

    EP has its irritating players, but ive seen the best player ethics from EP
