Has anyone had trouble deciding which character to use for questing? I've completed all HM trials (except HM vHoF and vCR+3). I actively PvP, solo and group. But, for the life of me, I can't seem to get these quests done. I want to pick one character to run through all the quest lines--it would seem disjointed to do a few on one and a few on another. I have 10 characters, but the problem is that I actually like ALL my characters. It would be easy if there were only one or two that I like, but sadly, that's not the case here. I admit, I'm stuck.

Has anyone else wrestled with this problem? At the risk of this becoming another "What's your favorite class" thread, which character did you use to complete your questing? Why did you pick that character?

    The way I think of it, my crafter gets all the pve land achievements. Think of it this way, if zos comes out and says, ok only 1 character per account. I would pick my crafter, ain't nobody gots time 4 that grind again.

    edit I will say, my main quester is a templar and really my main everything besides maybe PvP, but even then it's like 50/50 magplars/magnb

    I know what you mean! I wanted to do all my quests on my main, but Zos ruined what made his class fun for me. Even today I do a quest and lament how I’d do it differently if I was on my #1. So I started again and wanted to do all my quest on my new main, but as a healer it’s very tedious. So I was doing all the quests on both, one after another and finished Cadwell’s silver. Then Zos came out with the class I would have played from the start had it existed (Warden), so I started the whole game over on the warden, purchased a lot of stuff for him too. Then Zos ruined what was fun about that class for me and then ruined his race. So I stopped playing and came back and decided to try again. I’ve now taken 4 characters through the Molag Bal quest line and this 4th one I’m going to start doing the dlcs with now and I pray to all that it unholy they do not alter it further.

    So it's your warden? Mag or Stam?

    Character #1 is/was a Nightblade tank. Now just collects Dark Brotherhood Bag/fishes.
    Character #2 is a magTemplar healer. Now just crafts.
    I don’t play my warden much anymore. That was character #3. It’s a stam Warden. I’m too angry to log onto him lol. His class and his race changed so much from what I purchased it makes me peeved.

    Character #4 that I’m currently questing with is a stam Sorc. Which is surprising to me because I really don’t like the Sorc class but as a stam Sorc I barely have any Sorc skills. He just killed Molag Bal last week so I’m finally going to do the main story line for Vvardenfell and the rest.

    I really wish it was the warden but my wish for a hunter/pet class was shut down by whiners on these forums who “don’t want to have to use the bear” so Warden is now a knock off neon nature pick and mix of the original 4 classes. Nothing like a hunter/pet class that it could have been.

    I hear you about warden. I wanted to play a frost mage but....yeah. He's almost exclusively a PvP character now. I don't even use Winters Revenge in pve anymore.

    I have completed the PvE quests on:

    2 Nightblades
    2 Templars
    2 Sorcerers
    1 Warden
    1 Necromancer (in progress)

    This includes all the way through Cadwell's gold, TG and DB, Wrothgar, Summerset, and Murkmire. I still have a few to run through Elsweyr though.

    I treat it like I do a Skyrim playthrough: no one character does it all.

    In Skyrim I'd pick an organization or two (mages and bards college, thieves and fighters, etc) and build a playthrough around that. The reasons were the tale usually wrapped up before I got to uber powerful, and the story felt more natural in my head.

    For eso, I made one character per alliance. A Breton, a Dunmer, and an Altmer. Each is going to play their alliance story. The Altmer is also focused on the Mages Guild, the Breton on Artaeum, and the Dunmer on the ALMSIVI stuff. So each has a *big* chunk of the story, but no one has all. I've got a warden simmering in the background I may use for the more fighters guild stories and quests, still not decided in that. I'm not sure who is going to do thieves guild and dark brotherhood stuff, time will tell.

    I know Cadwell's silver and gold exist but...eh? I really want to experience the story from the POV of someone deeply invested in *their own culture* and to have them have skin in the game concerning the war between alliances. I don't care about achievements. I just want to be immersed in the stories.

    I want my Breton to love the rain, to worry over the Wyrd, and to be happiest in her home in Wayrest. I want my Dunmer to love the sound of ash underfoot, to crave the heat shimmering over the charred landscape, to inwardly seethe when she sees an Argonian. I wanted my Altmer to love the fall of pink petals, to cherish the time spent in the springtime hillsides near Alinor, to know her people created a beautiful and important civilization. I wanted three different takes on Nirn.

    For me this was easy. I started out only doing quests and crafting, so my very first character, my non meta stam DK, is the only one I care to do ALL the questing type content on.

    i started everything on my magden, but they changed the class so much i lost all identity i have with it and am at a complete loss now. ive started playing an old stamblade i had, but ti think thats why its hard because the classes are getting nerfed and changed so much that you do loose interest in them.

    I split my daily play time among my characters if I want to have more then one do everything, but this is not usual for me as I have a mage as main character and I normally use her for everything.

    I did.
    They were my 1st ever characters.
    Magika Templar & Stamina DK.

    Personally I found Magika Templar a great class to quest on. You can do pretty much everything solo, have a CC, Heal, Dot & Spammable pretty much out of the gates.
    Not much to not like about it tbh :)

    Questing: Stamden. DW and bow. Its just fun with an easy going build and a bear. You can quest almost all just with Lotus and light attack. Lotus heavy attack heals the bear too. The bear takes some adds and makes it just easy fun.

    Templar. It is my first character. Did caldwell's gold and silver, almost all of the zones, all of the skyshards, delves, dungeons, dolmens, etc. The gap is so wide between that character and next closest that they don't warrant consideration.

    I do enjoy other classes and I'll attempt to start the journey again every month or 2, then back to the templar.

    I only have 1 character. Easy to decide what character I pick for questing :)
