OK now I want to join the Ascendant Order, am I the only one?

So how can I (role)play that if the game says NO THEY'RE THE BADDIES?

I've heard the really interesting background hints from Leamon Tuttle about how the Order is a roguish organization that expect to end the war and build a utopia without kings even through violence - Do they actually?
All this "matter of point of view" and stuff.

I found it strange to be able to join and actively work as a murder hobo for a death cult sect in TDB and not having an option to pledge for this Noble Cause.

How about a DLC to open them ? and get, who knows, a new skill line with those nice purple-themed animation we saw in the Coral Aerie second boss preview.

    Joinable bad guy factions will never happen because ZOS would have to do twice the writing. B)

    We have no idea about them but generalities at this point. They could be really, really bad people. Also the faction may not survive the storyline.

    But there is always RP I suppose.

    One of my main gripes with the game. We are just railroaded into an conclusion. No choices. No choosing any sides. You are not the only one. So far. I am agreeing with the Ascendant Order. I want to join them.

    My Silencer would be down for putting this Ascendant Lord in charge. Being a murderous lady herself, it doesn't bother her that he murdered people to seat himself on that throne.

    Maybe the story could start off with the vestige being led to believe they have good intentions and went along with the Ascending Order. Then it becomes clear they’re true to form and you must make the choice between breaking away from the Order, or keep following the “dark path”.

    There have been organizations before saying things like "bring down the aristocracy" and "power to the people". Its usually others manipulating civilians to gain power themselves. I expect Ascendant Order to be the same so not interested in joining.

    Being an amnesiac mercenary who happens to fall into world ending plots is fine enough for me.

    The Ascendant Lord definitely seems to be very passionate about his cause but I still don't know exactly what it is so not sure if I would sign up to his order.

    Even the Nord who takes on massive Flesh Atronachs in the original cinematics seems to stop for a second to think twice before taking him on so that says alot.

    Unfortunately, he will die in 5 seconds just like all the other story bosses

    This is one of the things that I find unfortunate.

    Look at Count Calantius of Skingrad. For now, he looks like a real Colovian leader to me and I really want to join his faction and the imperial Legion.
    BUT I'm sure the day the game introduces us to him, ZOS will find a way to demonize him.

    All I ever wanted in this game was to play as an imperial and defend Cyrodiil.
    There's no imperial faction and as an imperial all I can do is join up with the other barbaric tribes to invade Cyrodiil.
    It doesn't make much sense and role-playing was never really part of this game.
    If it was for me, I'd join the AO as long as it meant stopping barbarians from invading Cyrodiil.
    But I could bet I'd never be given the option, because this is a service, not a game, and the service must go on, and Cyrodiil must remain a PvP zone.

    I was kinda hyped when they said no Daedric threat for once. I hoped for a more nuanced villain like in Orsinium but nope. During the dungeon preview the guy is like "Yeah you're not supposed to like this guy raising gryphons, he's a bad guy who tortures people" and I just had to groan.

    ESO's never been particularly big on Roleplaying, going through Vvardenfell as a pro-slavery Dunmer was pretty much impossible. But still, sad things are like this.
    Desperate for Roleplaying servers to bring open world non-organised RP to Elder Scrolls Online. Please ZOS.

    "So how can I (role)play that if the game says NO THEY'RE THE BADDIES?"

    Everyone thinks they are the baddies and you (secretly one of them) is going along with it to clear out some higher ups you want out of your way. Then when attention is directed elsewhere next time some Daedra God Thing attempts to swallow the universe and all the heroes head off to some newly discovered zone (most likely about this time next year), you can step in and rebuild the Order under your control and your image.

    Easy to roll-play, though not the same as in game factions i know.

    I would buy the Chapter, and immediately join the Ascendant Order if it was a new Skill Line à la Psijic.

    Hard to take them seriously if they don’t got skeeelz (or otherwise threatening scaling with faster mechs that I can actually see for immersion, before they insta-burn).

    I do think that those who want to join the ascendant order should be allowed to do so. Just like I believe that the righteous do gooders should be able to destroy or at least undermine the dark brotherhood and thieves guild in their respective DLCs.

    Well, I must confess my vampirophobia, I think that a War on Vampires would be an awesome future for PvP content in order to replace the War of the three banners. :D

    Hahaha nice, yet actually this doesn't match the path of my characters, they're for a cause not for a position of power.

    I would definitely chose to wipe the dark brotherhood out.
    Not sure about the TG that is more of a nuisance for the wealthy than a threat to the living.
