    PVP brings me the most enjoyment... there were some crazy bridge wars in BWB tonight. Bbbbbbridge waaarrrrrz!

    I still really like to do group dungeons with my friends but they are starting to play more & more PVP lately. For relaxation I like to grind dolmens in the vain hope of scoring some Lich pieces :D

    I enjoy PVP too when I'm with my friends and when the lag isn't especially awful. I'll get into it more when I run out of stuff to do, then a new DLC comes out and absorbs me, then I come back. I lightly RP but it's a bit awkward for me to get into since it usually requires a few hours of mostly standing around doing nothing but typing and emoting. PVE will always be my favorite, though. I'm most partial to dungeons, trials and generally exploring Tamriel.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I would prefer the PvP as I'm am PvP-Type-Gamer. However with the current situation in Cyrodiil, I've been mostly else where on a server called Dragonbrand in T1, in a game that can host more players fighting then in ESO but very smooth gameplay. I checks into ESO weekly or bi-weekly to see what's new in the Crown Store. I'm subbed till the end of the year, more then likely going to get another 6 month sub just cause Elder Scrolls game.

    I would have a lot of fun in PvP but I cannot stand the horrible performance in Cyrodiil. If they were able to restore performance back to how it was in Beta / Launch, my answer may be different.

    Such a shame!

      When I get some new items, come up with a new build, or make a new character. I always look forward to trying them out in PvP the most, I just find it the most exciting.
      Saying that, I also have lots of fun and laughs when doing trials and pledges with my guildies. I enjoyed the main quests and stories the first time round too and actually payed attention, nowadays I just 'x' through them all.

      Wait, I even shout lines like, "Out with the tide", "Tidehunter eats plankton", and "Sleeps with the fishes" when playing my stam DK! (Basically he is based off a char from another game who has those lines). So if that counts as RP. I do it all!!!!!
