A lot of it comes down to me really liking a lot of npcs in the Covenant, more so than the other two factions, which engaged me a lot more with what was going on. I loved the pirate heist, the storyline of Rivenspire, and learning more about Redguards in the Alik'r Desert which I think is visually one of the nicest zones to mention a few things.
The Dominion was great for High Elf lore, beautiful Auridon, and Razum-dar; but the 3 zones of Valenwood felt very repetitive to me. The Pact had a few cool npcs and despite the nostalgia factor of re-visiting Morrowind and Skyrim I couldn't really get into the storylines.
I am mostly playing dominion which i like but i do agree with you; likeable npcs in dc (dominion and pact also have a few) and the storyline of rivenspire is awesome, the one truly epic story in the game. Furthermore my AD main lives in Alikr desert as a hermit near goats head wayshrine (her sanguine goat made her do that)
But in the end, I felt like, why does the queen need my help for every thing she does.
The one pretty big thing I dislike about it are the Wood Elves, and mostly Elden Root; the capital. Hate the hippy tree elves. With a passion
My opinion:
3. Covenant has the best characters - if you start in Stros M'Kai you'll meet Jakarn, Captain Lerissa, Nicolene and you'll meet them later. Then in Glenumbra you'll meet Skordo, Darien and Gabrielle, who will appear in other zones as well. The leader seems to be the most interesting and charismatic. Plot is related to daedra's invasion. A lot of side-quests are about that too. Besides you get to play in a desert and it's done really cool.
