Hello, I've been trying to decide what is the best alliance that's has the best zones story, and characters, but Its so hard to choose from EP,AD and DC I haven't played in a while so please let me know?
Most of the people I know say that stonefalls is the worst zone in the entire game; basically turning heads from the start. Depressing is the word. EP does have snow though I'll give it that, and skyrim related places. All the reviews since launch has always pointed toward the Aldmeri Dominion though for casual first timers sake. In terms of later in the zone areas through DC with the desert was always cool. I'd recommend AD because it's fuller for the lack of a better word, Razum'dar is a cool cat as well..Ohhh yeah and your Queen Ayrenn is actually a bad A$$. (This is her voice actor FYI).
AD for characters and story -- There's the most focus on continuity and getting us invested in character arcs, which is a double-edged sword as things don't make sense if you tackle the zones out of order.
EP for variety of environments -- Some people don't like the ashlands or the swamps, but I think they're depressingly perfect.
DC for big battles and set pieces -- I don't care much for the characters (even though DC characters tend to play bigger parts in the main quest and DLCs...) but DC has some really cool castle siege sequences.
Note that every faction has some good examples of the above, but the three factions I've listed have the most of its given category.
I liked the environments and story in the EP zones and DLC areas the most, also Rivenspire and Alik'r Desert on the DC side. Auridon, Greenshade, Glenumbra and Stormhaven always felt a bit more generic in terms of the environment art style. The Bosmer areas were pretty interesting, but sometimes it can be a pain to find a path through the roots to reach the other side of the map.
The way the game works now, however, you don't have to be in any specific alliance to visit and play any zones. You can go anywhere you want and do whichever quests. Everything is CP 160 and when you are low level your stats get scaled up to match the enemies.

in EP you have: Naryu
in AD you have: Alyeen, Raz
in DC you have: Darien, Emeric, Lady Laurent, Stibbons, Skordo, Ravenwatch, Gabrielle....even Angof. Should I continue?
DC has the best NPC design and the best story, simple as that.
