Played all three in beta. AD had the most appealing scenery excluding grahtwood. Fak that place.

I started off with no intentions of playing daggerfall or ebonheart except for my alts. I like the dominion, and it's still my favorite faction as far as the zones and quests/npcs go. Razum-Dar is one of my favorite characters in the game.

However, I ended up changing from my dominion nightblade main to a daggerfall templar, which is quickly on it's way to becoming my new main character, so I spend most of my time on the daggerfall side now.

I tried them all and went DC. I like it best partly because of the quests and partly because it seemed the most like England middle ages.

I made my first Char in the Ebonheart pact solely because that is where the Dunmer are. Since Morrowind I've been fascinated by the Dunmer culture. The contradictions,hypocrisies,complexity of it. The only people in tamriel that tolerate if not even openly accept Daedra worship. Tribunal be damned,to deny the so called "good Daedra" the Tribunal would deny itself. the open but silent placation of even the "evil Daedra" that takes place at shrines all over Vaardenfell reminiscent of many real world pagan cultures. Just great! A rich and complex culture unrivaled by any other in Tamriel.

Aldmeri Dominion, because the queen is awesome!

i myself don't think any alliance is better than the other. i think all 3 of them are complete idiots that choose to fight each other instead of fighting the daedric prince that wants to enslave them all. though the pact does contain my 2 favorite ESO races(nords and argonians) but that has nothing to do with which alliance is the best

because AD is superior, fact.

I chose Daggerfall Covenant because I like Bretons. I know you can make any race for any alliance, but it just didn't sit well to have my Breton in either of the others.

unless ZOS changed it and if they did WTF ZOS but only those who preordered the game and got the explorers pack can pick any race in any faction now I know a few retailers like Wal-Mart are still selling the preorder edition of the game at least the game box on the shelves say that the explorers pack is included

Edit why I picked dominion because I like the elfs/kitties and that's what I played in beta so that's what I picked with live since I knew what was going on even though blue is my favorite color and and that alliance sounds kewler...kind wish I woulda picked it but to late now so FOR THE QUEEN

PS you got the colors wrong in the voting AD is the ugly a** yellow color

I chose the Dominion because I am a Bosmer in real life, except your chances of being killed and eaten while in my house are pretty slim. Usually. For this generation, anyway (I have cannibals in my family tree). So you're pretty safe. Also, because Ayrenn is awesome.

Daggerfall based on lore. Faction choice is pretty meaningless right now, as you will be spending the majority (2/3+) of your time fighting your own faction instead of helping them thanks to the awesomeness of veteran content.

I dont consider that the vet content that's just a way for you to get out and see the other alliances with out rerolling a new toon and if your going to do it you might as well be able to advance your char while your at it the real vet content IMHO is the vet dung and craiglorn and that's why they rolled it out so soon with all the bugs was to give us the real PVE end game material because so many people powerplayed the game and rushed through the 1-50

Hm... interesting thread.

Though I play Daggerfall Covenant, I personally find the Pact's ideology the most appealling. Freedom and self-governance.

I have one avatar per alliance

Dominion: While having internal struggle with extreme racists the Queen is revealed to (spoiler!) be genuinely honest in her dream about a dominion of peace, as her true intentions were revealed through the Orrery.

So sorry, while the veiled heritance is a bunch of ***tards, the Dominion is the only faction trying to bring all races under the same banner, not just claim Cyrodiil.

Yeah that incessant Altmer superiority and condescension screams Kumbayah. Just like having "dominion" in the faction name...

Well the Altmer are entitled to feel superior- after all, if I understand correctly, the Altmer are one of the oldest races in Tamriel. Even despite that, Ayrenn doesn't want the Altmer to be superior- she wants every race to treat each other with equality and compassion, and to bring them all together under one banner, as @Yusuf so accurately put it.

Funny, but I'm pretty sure the rise of the new Aldmeri Dominion and the rebellion of the Stormcloaks was something made up for Skyrim.
