Not long ago I had to go through the story/lore of characters that lead the Night Market factions. And now I’m curious which one of them is the best in your opinion.

    Caveat: I joined Goad because I needed that dye. That was the only reason.

    I definitely thought the preview article misrepresented them all though. When I first read it, it definitely introduced them all as “the billionaire who doesn’t care about anything besides money,” “the evil barbarian who only wants to soak the world in blood,” and “the poor underlings who represent the people and will rise up to defeat the elites.”
    It really felt like a similar political agenda to every YA dystopian fantasy ever written, in which case it’s obvious who is the “right” one to support and who are the “evil” choices.

    But then talking to them in game, it was a lot different.

    The Goad were closest, but with less of a [insert redacted name from certain partially-released files] bend and more of a pure Sanguine-esque hedonism. Still not really a fan of them, but I needed that dye for one of my characters’ belts.

    The Eyes were so much worse than they appeared. In a word, it was just gross - it felt like they were not only living in the dirt and grime, but actively reveling in it. Also, the idea of a rat mind-controlling a person is a bit awkward when taken at face value since enslaving someone’s mind is objectively a terrible practice. But even then, the dialogue was a lot more sadistice than the article implied.

    On the other hand, the Ruckus felt a lot more honorable. They were the underlings (in this case, the mortals trying to live among Daedra) who survived by virtue of their own strength, and the bloodknight angle was definitely softened from the article. I did find myself a lot more drawn to them after meeting them all, and I’m probably going their way next round.

    The thousand eyes are just more interesting, collecting secrets ans knowledge having spies everywhere in the overlooked daedra.

    This. I joined Goad for the dye but Ruckus is who I'd pledge.
    And btw, the Goad dye isn't even the best gold - I was expecting a gold like the one from the skin... Totally different, pastel yellow.

    Before Night Market went live, I was sure I'd choose the Thousand Eyes – ancient knowledge and secrets, just the thing for an IRL archaeologist!
    But then I talked to the factions leaders and visited their locations... and didn't like the Thousand Eyes at all anymore. I'm not even sure I'll choose them next when the Night Market returns. But anyway, I wonder what the incentive would be to play it all again—just to get another achievement, a new color, and a banner?
