Differance in factions?

MisterBud · July 2015

How populated is each faction compared to the others? Which is funnier? Better looking? Longer quest? Anything that can help me decide which faction my new imperial should start at. My connection is sometimes weak so maybe least populated? Or bigger?

Well given we don't have the statics, you can't really compare faction populations. The safest bet is looking at PvP and seeing who is wrecking who sort of thing.
In terms of funnier, each faction has 'funny' quests, so ultimately there's not much difference.
Better looking is opinion based, I like some EP zones, some DC zones and some AD zones, but I feel EP is the best looking overall.
Quests are more or less the same, each faction has long and short quests sort of thing.
I rolled EP for lore reasons, most PC players went AD for whatever reason so ultimately it depends on you. If you enjoy PvP a more populated faction may be better compared with a lower populated one. Alternatively, endgame content only requires 12 people maximum and each faction should have competent players, so you can really go any faction.

AD is most likely still the most populated followed close by EP. Daggerfall is the least populated, not by enough to disadvantage you if if picked. All faction are healthy.

When it comes to Cyrodiil all factions get wins, EP probably the most with AD second, but Daggerfall is believed to have the best individual players.

Personally I like the Daggerfall quests the best. As far as the players, I meet a lot of 30 somethings on Daggerfall.

My first character is on daggerfall should I use this oppertunity to play a different faction or just stick with dc which seems to be the best for me?
