I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere in the good ol' Googs but is it possible to explore all zones or are you 100% restricted to your faction zones + Cyrodiil?
Yep. One of the endgame perks is to be able to cross factions.
I am Queen of Typos. If you don't see "Edited by BlackSparrow" above this line, please assume my account has been taken over by scamps and react accordingly.
My Girls:
"Elsweyr, yay or nay?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "If circumstances try to drive me there, maybe. Right now, it just sounds like a lot of sand in my boots." Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "The simple thought of it dries my scales. I ventured into Elsweyr long ago, but I may be getting too old to make the journey again." Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "This one looks forward to seeing her home sands again. Perhaps she will make her home village many fish sticks!" Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "I could do much with a good dragon hide." Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "I see little need to muck about some ancient tomb. Too much work to do elsewhere. No, that was not an intentional pun." Lorelai Magpie, breton thief: "Stealing from the Ban Daar is always a fun challenge. Sometimes, they steal their stuff back!" Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "While I try to stay at Swum-Many-Waters' side, the whispers of an undead threat worry me." Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "Perhaps. The lady Mephala spins many webs, and I can see there being benefit in sending me into the path of an undead invasion." Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hear there will be dragons. I would be a disappointment to my Nord heritage if I did not try to slay them." Madam Argentia, dunmer aristocrat: "I have little desire to waltz across the desert for weeks at a time. It's terrible for the complexion." Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'm kinda busy up in Wrothgar, sorry!" Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "The Khajiit usually throw some nice contracts my way. I'm sure Jimila will have something that will take me there." Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one is happy to check back on her homeland after grand adventures drew her away! Let the kittens call her -dra instead of -daro now!" Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "My lady Meridia does detest the undead. I may need to sneak out on my duties on Artaeum to address it."
Wouldn't it be interesting to do a traitor quest line to change allegiances? I know for those of us who pre-ordered we can make any race any faction but make this option a mid-way to late level optional quest just to change up the dynamics and give those who RP another tool to really flesh out their characters.
Basically consider it 'new game+'. Once you finish the main story you have the option of playing the content in the other factions from their start, but scaled to level 50 (you won't see any of that faction's players).
So yea, you get to see the entirety of Tamriel as it exists in this game on one character.
