You always could, but before they streamlined it with One Tamriel you would have to do the factions in a specific order with a quest explaining how you got there and all that. Now you can still do that quest, but you can also just go where ever you'd like in non PvP areas and they won't treat you any different. It's to open up the game and make it easier for people to group.

But it does not make sense...right ?

For example at the end of Auridon questline I have to kill DC raiders.

How that can be possible on a DC character ?

Why would a DC faction toon kill his faction raiders ??

Because Zeni is dumb sometimes. The game used to be believable and it didn't normally allow you to go to places outside your alliance. Zeni decided that it would be funny to completely get rid of the game's main story mechanic by getting rid of all faction locks (except in cyrodiil)

Every faction has races from all over Tamriel living and/or working with their borders. Walk around Wayrest or Elden Root or Mournhold and you'll see NPCs from every race.

Wars are fought between factions, not people. Merchants still need to trade. Scholars still need to study. Workers still need to work.

Why not? There is plenty of killing even without war. You are the vestige. You transcend factions.

It is true though that you are forced to kill to progress and that can make the narrative a bit tortured. Then again, you could refuse those quests.

Your character is very much a patriot if you follow the main story. If this game had a romance option, you'd be banging your faction's respective monarch based on how close you are with them.

I don't know about that... other than AD, I didn't feel any real type of 'closeness' with Emeric or Jorun during their quests... you see them here and there but there wasn't any real closeness unlike the one with Ayrenn, which definitely felt more personal.

I like how OT is now, even though I still do all the quests in order and have done them several times. It's easy to find the quests because where one ends, usually really close to that location you pick up another. Thankfully PC has addons to show quest destinations, which also help.
