If you don't want to do those quests - don't, no one is forcing you. Your personal inability to ignore a quest marker doesn't make the availability of that quest a bad decision

From a narrative design standpoint it does though. It kills any replay value for alts which is central to MMO’s and it forces your character—who is already committed to a faction—to go through and literally play for their enemies.

It doesn't "force" your character or YOU to do anything. Just don't take the quest - it's really just that simple.

If you don't realize you can't abandon it then you're stuck with it. The OPTION to abandon does not exist, therefore, you are forced to keep it if you don't want it.

But nothing is forcing you to do it. (or, rather, the game isn't forcing you to do it. If a personal dislike of an 'un-tidy' quest log is pushing you to do it, that's you. Not the game.)



It's just an entry in the quest log. Games taught me to ignore that ages ago. /shrug
(Skyrim and Fallout 4 definitely hammered the lesson in, with it adding quest notes to your journal just for overhearing NPC conversations)

In Skyrim, we can toggle off the quest markers. In ESO, we always have an arrow pointing to the Harborage.

This one (like others) enjoy the option of “being in another faction’s shoe”. The extra skill points helps too.

Also, earning extra rapport from Dame Isobel each time Sammy talks to the three royals.

You young wipersnapers getting to go to these zones as you please. Back in my day, we had to earn our right to be in the zones!
