No-one have any views?

The become emperor idea could have been cool in a single-player game, but in a mmo just make the whole title and role worthless.

The game has been created by 2 different team that mixed the content making a mess.
The all race in every alliance is a marketing thing, and as it is well known, marketing ideas sucks.

As I understand it bananas dominate the Cyrodiil sundae while strawberries try to take over as the main topping, and blueberries come in from the side to get in on the action.

The emperor thing is nice , but it is totally outside the game lore or environment , no NPC will treat you like the boss mate :P. Only the other players care ... well now not even them that much.

iv lost all respect for emperors/resses:/ many of them traded and cheated for it. and the ones iv seen "fight" just spammed impulse the entire time. its kinda sad.:(

It bugs the hell out of me when I read some random joe review for ESO whining that all the stuff with Molag Bal and the Interregnum is "inconsistent with looooooooore!" The thing is there was not a great deal of history covering the Interregnum in the earliest histories in the ES games. It occured after the death of the last Akaviri Potentate, Savrien Chorak, and was basically a revolving door of warfare and warlords trying to seize the throne, then 500 years later you get Tiber Septim and the Third Era. None of this is 'inconsistent with looooooore" it's filling in the blank spaces about the Interregnum. Daedric Princes like Molag Bal are immortal, cannot be killed, and because they didn't have any part in the creation of the world, aren't tied to it and are capable of doing whatever the heck they want. The whole Daedric Invasion is pretty much summed up as a massive pissing match between two Daedric Princes.

If anyone ever watched Babylon 5, it's pretty much like the Shadow War. You had all the alien superpowers thinking their way was better and making a royal mess of things until Men and the "younger races" rose up and curb stomped the First Ones into submission. Don't forget either, technically the Orcs are elves (OrsiMER-Pariah Folk), there's myths that Azura made the Khajiit out of Bosmer, and Dunmer were originally Chimer, who were originally offshoot of Altmer that basically said buh-bye to the rest of their kin.

Seriously people should actually read the books in game instead of just clicking on the bookcases to see if you get a skill point. If you really want to appreciate the game you need to appreciate the lore, which is very deep and well written, unlike other games that make lore based around bears and kung fu.

Its a symbol and center control thing more then anything else from a lore stand point you can't truly control the white gold tower and the throne inside unless your dragon born.

So basically its a center control thing pretty much has no one is dragon born in the game.

I know that Cyrodil is the key to controlling all of Tamriel, but for instance when a faction puts one of their own on the ruby throne not a lot actually happens.

For instance if i somehow managed to become Emperor the first thing i would do is move a large portion of the Dominion army directly into the capital making sure that it could not be overthrown easily again, then i would draw up treaties for the other factions and try and smooth out the disputes between everyone.

If they refuse any diplomatic measures and continue to attack.. well then i think a good push right into the enemy lands creating a buffer zone between them and Cyrodil and effectively blockade any chance they have of pushing in the capital.

Everyone knows the only alliance to survive the Interregnum is the Aldmeri dominion anyway

All hail Emperor Dekkameron!

But that's the thing about the Interregnum. When you're 'crowned' Emperor, you aren't actually Emperor. You're a poser who takes the crown and says "look at meee!" The Interregnum is a period rife with 'pretenders and instability". Even the previous "Emperor", Varen Aquilarios was himself a poser...a poser who royally screwed up, but still a poser. Because there are no legitimate dragonborn Emperors until Tiber Septim AKA Talos AKA Nordic Jesus, Emperor is bragging rights until you get dethroned. You can't make 'pacts and treaties' because you don't have the clout do do so.....except in Skype.

And afaik the method of 'reinforcing' forts is currently disabled because it was considered OP and broken and dupeable. ;/

I was more or less addressing the majority of people that like to bawl that ESO isn't "Elder Scrollsey Enough" and think the three separate factions are a joke. Of which there are alot who still think a game where 'new monthly content' constitutes a new mount or battle pet is still the best MMO out there.
