So do any other of you altoholics have a "Main" character you play but it's not your favorite??

    My main character Daliana is also my original character, Nord nightblade. I have invested too much time and gold into her to change. Almost any of my other 25 characters has better luck than she does, she knows most provisioning and furnishing recipes except the latest, but got none of the expensive ones herself, she can usually only get common green recipes. I brought most of them for her, only with the latest chapter have some characters finally managed to bring Dalaina home something she can learn, still she is hopeless at getting them herself. A master crafter hopeless at getting recipes. She is equally hopeless at pickpocketing, and cannot even steal anything better than a green recipe. She is lousy at fighting, being a Nord does not help, She is a nightblade, cannot expect too much in the fighting department since ZOS keeps trying to make them useless.

    My main account has 18 characters, it would still only have one if ESO had not locked Dalaina up so I could not use her, not once but 3 times!. First time she was locked up for about 3 weeks in Coldharbour, they were in no hurry to fix the glitch, I made a tank for an event in Cyrodiil I was committed to only to discover I had no idea how to play one, so made another nightblade. The second time she was put out of commission she was never the same when eventually returned, my master fisherman cannot even fish after that absence, she is that slow at fishing, and lost her luck at getting perfect roe .I did eventually branch out into all classes and races, mainly to try and solve the ever worsening storage problem of not having ESO+. I have it now on my main account, but the 2 alt accounts recently lost theirs, but 26 characters is more than enough, I am not making any more.

    I prefer playing a templar, something nice and easy.

    And yes despite Dalaina being a completionist and doing all the quests up to West Skyrim and the last DLC, which she is slowly working on, one was enough, most of the others characters have not put much effort into questing unless they were offered a very strong reward incentive. And if only one on the account could get the reward, only one did the questline.

    Stuga is still chasing most of them them.

    It's inevitable when you're an altaholic, that one day the heavens align and you make your best work and come up with a character that u like more, and then lightning goes on to strike twice and then again and again.

    I have not one but nearly every character since creating my first, which have more character and personality. This is a reason why it's hard to have just one favourite for an altaholic. Likewise, I tend to continue the story on my so called main which is just my first character made during beta. I have a separate crafter which let's me log on to a 2nd character often. Then I have different characters that I would run for dungeons, pvp, trials and by doing so is enough reason to log into different characters and play them.

    I'm a newer ESO player, and I already know I'm an alt-o-holic. I spent a stupid amount of time figuring out what to "main". I finally came to realization that I shouldn't treat my first character so much as a 'main', and instead consider it a story/quest/achievement character. I finally settled on a class that should be able to handle all the story content (and a bit beyond) without too much trouble, and can do "all the things", but with the full realization that at some point I will have other specialized characters that will likely ultimately be played more often just by virtue of being better aligned to group play.

    Once I finally got this through my head, I was much happier with my choice - both of my "main", and of the flexibility I have to ultimately roll up other characters that are specialized for whatever other role I might desire to play later _without_ trying to focus on making it a new main, or feeling like I have wasted my time with a character I don't spend all my time on.
