    The alliance for the character I am on ATM. I am constantly switching.

    I joke. I am loyal to one but do not divulge which in the forums.

    I expect EP to win this poll the way EP wins at everything else.

    By sheer force of numbers.

    Agreed

    *snerk* Exactly. At that point, Stuga will hunt you down to make SURE you are not only missing those teeth, you're missing the jawbone they used to live in!

    @JobooAGS - well, now, that's a graphic vision for sure. Good thing I don't dream ESO (vide another thread on the first page), because that could occasion nightmares!

    But yes - the Orsimer are.... not thrilled with being classed with others of elven blood. Hmmm.... how would it be if they decided to go after the OTHER "not acceptable elves" - the Maormer! That could be one hell of a quest line....

    Orcs, descends from elves, then they have elf blood but they are not elves anymore (like the falmers). Neither the Orcs or any other elf (or race in Tamriel) consider them elves anymore. They were completely ostracized from the elves, that's why they are called the pariah folk. People played one quest in Skyrim and they think they know...

    Also, you can sum 10 elves and I bet you couldn't compare with the courage of 1 Orc (or 1 Imperial, or 1 Argonian). There are inumerous quests in Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim showing that. For instance, if you are weaker, an Orc wouldn't fight you (it's not honored..., why beat an weaker person?). Also, if you make friendship with an Orc, he/she will fight by your side until death. More..., if a friend died in unfair/strange circunstances, Orcs will seek justice until the end. Elves, on the other hand, lure, deceive and use their friends (remember void nights?) and they not only enslave a weaker person/race but even other elves.

    That's what i think.
    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.

    If your talking about story line and quests, AD. ZOS must have done that one first because it is significantly the best. EP on the other hand was clearly done last as it feels cobbled together, poorly.

    If your talking about getting AP in PVP, I only know PCNA but on that you will easily get 3x the AP playing DC vs the other two. They are far more organized and therefore do not waste time riding their horse all across the map to fights they will loose. 90% of the time DC does defense only and faction stack ports to anything under attack before it flags to mega zerg down the attackers. 10% of the time DC attacks with such numbers and coordination that they instantly take the target. I get AP at least 3x the speed when I play DC and that multiplier is even higher if I am pugging as DC heards the pugs effectively. If you want to just exercise your frustration pug in AD and get like 5k AP an hour if your lucky because your whole faction will be spread out doing their best to earn other factions AP and not supporting in any way the one or two organized guilds running.
    I am currently worried for the future of ESO. Population seems like it is in free fall and the cancellation of the North America in-person gathering feels very much like pulling the plug. Kudos on fixing the in-game economy though. Clearly whatever gold shenanigans were happening the last couple years are fixed.

    Eh, a pimp for what? I run each faction because I LOVE TES - I want to see and experience every story line, and I have no bias against any given race.

    So I don't have a clue what you're on about. It's like some of you think that everyone has to pick a faction and never go elsewhere. That's not what I think TES is about - and that includes ESO.

    Really none.

    1 dedicated pvp group dominates PS4. They swap around from alliance to alliance and win regarless of the alliance.

    Its easy to find out where they are playing, and you can either help them dominate by following them or just not pvp for a month or 2 or 3. I find it better to follow them around and spread tons of toxicity that way we can finally kill of the shrinking pvp population and never again have to balance around pvp.

    All the races are fun enough to me, but I do happen to like the DC quests more. Especially Bankorai, with the mix of landscapes in zone and variety of quests (Wyrd stuff, werewolf stuff, and big Hall of Heroes quest). Probably just nostalgia though because I played there more with many chararacters created using the any alliance thing. PVP, same thing, mostly nostalgia.

    On a side note, I wish the order of the poll was different so DC could be blue. Unimportant, but I mostly think of them by color. Yeah, crazy, but I’m simple minded like that.

    Daggerfall Covenant: Does not have Razum-dar
    Ebonheart Pact: Has Dunmer and Argonians! But no Razum-dar
    Aldmeri Dominion: Razum-dar

    Lol, people say things like they don't do quests in this game and in any other TES games. No races of men enslave other races because, diferent from elves, they don't think they are superior divine creatures.

    Did you know that Alessia freed not only humans but beast races as well of the Ayleids?

    And Orcs and Dunmers? lol that's not going to happen. Dunmers consider Malacath a bad Daedra... And did you know we have a quest in Oblivion that Malacath wants you to free the Ogres from their Dunmers Masters? Yeah, because Malacath (like the orc race..., by the way is an orc who give that quest) don't agree with slavery. And dunmers praticed slavery even in Cyrodiil, 3rd Era...

    Yeah, every race has a dark past/side... But none do things so bad and evil as elves. Remember what the Dominion tried to do in Shadowfen killing/destroying an entire Argonian generation before their eggs could hatch? There is a cruel bosmer there that could even eat the Argonian eggs...

    I've started in EP back at launch, but Coldharbour and a massive amount of DC characters put in here for the grand finale made me want to try DC. Was in DC ever since and I've never been happier.
