Which Alliance and Why?

Which alliance did you choose and why? (I don't know how to start a poll)

I picked Pact because it 'feels' closer together quest wise and the very first few quests are fun. The other 2 alliance first few quests annoy me because one I have to fight some crazy wolf when my Magicka goes dry and the other I fight waves of mobs and again go dry in seconds...Pact none of that nonsense just pure fun!

    I picked pact because I hated the other starting zones. But now I am forced to play them anyways.

    Honestly , im vet7 , and i still dont regret my choice.

    Daggerfall.

    I love Orcs and Redguards (not Bretons so much though).

    I hate the AD areas (and pointy eared dwarves).

    I do have an alt in Ebonheart though.

    2. dumb hardheaded barbarian who's voice acting doesn't match the text and sounds like he has down syndrome.

    I agree with Jorunn, but Ayrenn is amazing. (Apart from the fact that she's not Altmer-elitist enough for my taste, but that wouldn't make her a good queen, now would it?)

    Except Ayrenn isn't 14 and she's twice as smart and wise as Emeric. If not more. Besides, Emeric's goal is mere wealth. While The Dominion has a much more noble intent.

    She is....that's why most NPCs refer to her as the child queen. Read the lore. Emeric is about power and honor.

    She is 28.

    I didn't really join any alliance and didn't pledge my allegiance to anyone. There are a just a bunch of annoying individuals that keep giving me stupid errands that I sometimes chose to do them for the money and gear and because I am bored. There isn't really any reason to be devoted to any of them. The Pact guys? Pfttt I just fell in the water near their shore. I am a Dunmer merc all the way. I really miss those greedy merc type responses from older CRPGs.

    -I want you to go save my dog and granny from the trolls.
    -What's in it for me.
    -Will give you ten coins.
    -How about 30 and half now half on delivery.

    In ESO

    -Go kill the undead necro monster in the ruins.
    -Why in Oblivion would I try something that stupid?
    -Because you are a goody and are truly and completely devoted to the Pact.
    -Yes Ok.Sir yes sir.

    For pve, if you plan go get to max level, VR10 for now, it doesn't matter. The game will require you to play the game from the point of view of all three factions anyway. Just pick the faction that you want to play first.

    Aldermeri Dominion is most fun so far, but they all have their themes, and why choose when you can have it all <cue manical laughter>

    You are wrong on both accounts. She is much older, as people already answered to you. While the sole reason the Daggerfall Covenant formed and went to war is to regain wealth. Not a terrible reason, as everyone can understand wealth and prosperity are desirable ends. But not the most noble either. Queen Ayrenn, on the other hand, wants to unite Tamriel under a single banner. Making it prosper in peace. That's the lore for you.
    Speaking of alliance areas I prefer Daggerfall. I like the Medieval European style of the Bretons adn their cities. I am also a Breton in game.

    No she's a fully grown up Elf, the reason the others refer to her as the Child Queen, is that they are centuries old Elves, and she's only just come back from adventuring.

    But she's an adult (28 seems about right actually), and she has a level head on her shoulders, isn't a racist (unlike most Altmer), and wants to lead her people (Elves and Khajiit) into a peaceful golden age.

    She's actually the only leader of the three factions who you could trust.

    I have a Bosmer in Aldmeri Dominion and a mule, I have 1 Breton, 1 Bosmer, 2 Imperials, and a Nord in Daggerfall. I have one mule in the Pact, tried playing there and I hated it, probably because of the Morrowind/volcano area. I'd love for them to allow us to purchase more character slots. I'd make a dragon knight in the Pact to see how that went.

    Just spent a few hours playing dagger, after getting back from the Orc Island (whatever its called) and started questing it was hell on earth, first off the Harpies area is infested with Bots...not just any Bots but ones that fly and port all over the move auto attacking with bow! To make things worse they cause FPS to drop if they are near you :/
