Caboose The Ace Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Ok this one is going to be a hard choice to make in most MMOs or RPGs I play I only ever make one character so the ESO is coming out soon and I have a choice to make about what faction I should join to better help me decided or maybe yourself decided here is some info on them all ....http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Felderscrolls.wikia.com%2Fwiki%2FAldmeri_Dominion_(Online)&ei=3eD7UreoEIqu7Abxs4HgAw&usg=AFQjCNHBqU8_ZMcA2iRJi__dn2Rf1OapVg&bvm=bv.61190604,d.ZGU < aldmeri dominionhttp://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Felderscrolls.wikia.com%2Fwiki%2FDaggerfall_Covenant&ei=peH7UrTIA-qq7Qa_yoC4Dw&usg=AFQjCNHGwavewr20yn3zJ-JwIbLCKItcVw&bvm=bv.61190604,d.ZGU < daggerfall covenanthttp://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Felderscrolls.wikia.com%2Fwiki%2FEbonheart_Pact&ei=DuL7Uo3dIoPH7AaA1YCIAg&usg=AFQjCNEr4imYptcEMJXgtIzMGvXYKaN6SA&bvm=bv.61190604,d.ZGU < ebonheart pact Here is what in a nutshell every faction is The Ebonheart pact in unstable but powerful and everything in decided in a council and believe there 3 races deserve to rule the ruby throne due to the fact all 3 races homelands are harsh and dangerous and they have survived and so the strongest. They are the Nords the Dark elves and the Argonians The daggerfall covenant due to the war in cyrodill trade routes over there being shattered and poverty everywhere and the 3 countries on the brink of collapse the Regaurds the orcs and Bretons formed a alliance to ....The main reason the Daggerfall Covenant was established was to return the once prosperous trade back to the region. This could not be done as long as an enemy sat on the Ruby Throne. The Aldmeri Dominion ( No skyrim fans this is not the racist dominion from skyrim )This alliance between high Elves wood elves and Khajiit was formed to stop the Ebonheartpact and the Daggerfall covenant from taking over the ruby throne.The Altmer, the Bosmer and the Khajiit share the common traits of intelligence, patience and reason. We do not seek riches or plunder. Domination is not our goal, nor is the acclamation of power for its own sake. Today we make our stand. Today we take back the Ruby Throne, which is ours by ancient right and the blessings of the Divines. Stand with us."And so the Dominion does not belive Humans or Bretons or anyone else but them can rule they do not have age or wisdom and only by restoring elf rule can the bring peace. So that is a hard choice and here is what I think of these factions The Ebonheart pact This faction seems unstable but fair with the idea of a council and with that I seems fair but Nords dark elves and argos are not as wise as other races and wish to rule because they believe they have deserved it they seems the most popular right now to boot. The daggerfall covenant This faction has a nice goal but restoring trade routes does not seem the best goal but it seems like a nice stable alliance and Vitmin pwn said this faction beat everyone else in the Beta it has a noble goal but not widespread enough The Dominion This faction seems to have a clear good goal restore the peace .... It may be the most unpopular but seems the have the best goal and the most wisest races in it that know what they are doing. I hope you all can help me decided.

Vitamin Pwn Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Well lets see, you say this incarnate of the dominion isnt like the skyrim version but i beg to differ, look at this quote from it's leader. "I have no hatred for the races of Man, but they are young. Like all children, they are driven by emotion. They lack the wisdom that comes with age. I would sooner place an Altmer infant on the Ruby Throne than surrender Tamriel to their capricious whims. The Altmer, the Bosmer and the Khajiit share the common traits of intelligence, patience and reason. We do not seek riches or plunder. Domination is not our goal, nor is the acclamation of power for its own sake. Today we make our stand. Today we take back the Ruby Throne, which is ours by ancient right and the blessings of the Divines. Stand with us." condesending towards human? check, believe that elves are superior? check, wants to rule over humans because it's their right? check, sounds like the same dominion to me. The Ebonheart pact has good intentions but the factions dont get along very well, they are only helping each other cause of a greater threat, and while they are tough customers, you dont rule with brawn you rule with brains. The Daggerfall covenant, like you said they seek to restore trade route, and while it may not sound like the best goal it is a very important one, without trade routes, armies can't get the supplies they need to fight, citizens can't get nessicary things to survive and kingdoms will fall. So trade routes are the life blood of all nations, Plus with the brains of the Bretons, the combat prowess of the Redguard and the smithing skills if the Orc, that makes them in my opinion the most balanced of the 3 factions. if you couldnt tell i prefer the covenant myself, they are simply put the best faction out of the 3, plus my second favorite race part of it lol the bretons, imperials are my favorite but they dont belong to a particular faction Edited February 12, 2014 by Vitamin PWN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose The Ace Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Okay PWN you make a good point but the reason I may want to join the Dominion is that the reason they want the Ruby throne is that they can stop the fighting the dominion was formed to stop the Daggerfall covenant and the Ebonheart pact from take-ing the ruby throne and make peace but you have changed my mind and I am thinking most of the Ebonheart pact to join now. EDIT I think instead of Ebonheart I will be the daggerfall covenant. Edited February 13, 2014 by Ranger447 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin Pwn Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 my question is are you or did you pre order it? because if you didnt your faction is locked which which race you pick, if you pre ordered you can use any race with any faction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose The Ace Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I pre ordered the imperial edition and after looking at stuff the Daggerfall covenant seems the best for me I am not sure if I will play as a Nord or imperial most likely a Nord. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin Pwn Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) for race i can't really help you cause i dont know their traits, i only played as a breton. i will say breton is a solid choice for pvp because of their magicka regeneration and resistance, seeing as a good amount damage comes from spells, so the resistances helps and the regeneration lets you launch more quicker.

Caboose The Ace Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 In the skryim I played as a battlemage on sword and one casting hands for spelling Then only my skyrim replay though and my oblivion playthough I just played with a sword and shield so that is why a nord of imperial would really suit that archetype.

Vitamin Pwn Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 in eso you dont need an open hand to cast spells, you can cast them with a sword and shield if you wanted, if you want to be a battlemage style character, i recommended a dragon knight, they are good in close quarters and they have some ranged spells, you can even go all mortal kombat scorpion and shoot a chain out your wrist to drag your opponent to you lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose The Ace Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Oh cool you can still be a dedicated mage though ? I guess this gives more reason to go imperial as it has always seems to be a jack of all trades kind of a Race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin Pwn Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) yeah there is a sorcerer class, the classes are Dragon knight which is melee with some cool spells, templar which is a tank/healer class, nightblade which is stealth DPS, and sorcerer which is magic dps, in addition to the classes there are a few different weapons which have their own abilities, the weapons are sword and shield, dual sword, two handed, bow, destruction staff and restoration staff. then you got heavy, medium and light armor, and any class can use any weapon so you can be a sorcerer with a sword and shield or a dragon knight with a staff lol Edited February 13, 2014 by Vitamin PWN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
