Poll: Elder Scrolls Online: Factions

[Kyber]

Simple enough, there are three factions in Elder Scrolls Online, which one will you choose and why?

I'm leaning towards The Daggerfall Covenant, but I'm not sure yet which race. It has my favourite races, and it seems like a more sensible option when compared to the other two.

Ebonheart pact......... because it has the three best races, Nord, Dunmer, and Argonians.

It also has the coolest heroes from ES history in it. Ysmir Wulfharth, Almelexia, Vivec, The Greybeards.

I will have 2 characters in Ebonheart, and 1 in whatever my other friend chooses. My least favorite faction has to be the Daggerfall Covenant. Those races are BOOOOORIng.

I like 1/3 races of both of the other two, but I have to go Ebonheart Pact cuz I like all of the races in it... I still say my favourite is Khajit though

 

[kingthrall]

No Imperials for a start my favorite racee. GLORY TO THE EMPIRE! Sadly if I had to choose probably the daggerfall.

 

[SajuukKhar]

Sadly if I had to choose probably the daggerfall.

They are the canon victors of the war.

Definitely the Daggerfall Covenant. Bretons are my favourite race and Hammerfell my favourite region, so there's that, but it also has the best alliances. The best smiths the Orcs, the best tank warriors the Redguards, and one of the best magic users (and best healers), Bretons. You can't go wrong with that in a war situation. It's also probably one of the better alliances in that they don't necessarily hate each other, very much unlike the Ebonheart Pact.

Orc and Redguard are my favourite races so I have to go with the Daggerfall Covenant. Also Hammerfell, Yay!

This is a big part why I'm thinking of picking Daggerfall. Ebonheart Pact isn't a long lasting alliance, and The Dominion with its High Elves is too zealous.

 

[Fdzzaigl]

I usually play a Nord, so Ebonheart Pact for me.

If this poll is any indication, there will be serious faction imbalance in the game, considering how unpopular the Aldmeri are.

It has the High Elves and the Khajit, the best magic users and the best rogues, so i think it won't be that large of an imbalance, but they will still probably be the faction with the least players, which is a shame, Summerset Isles, Valenwood and Elsweyr look really beautiful.

 

[Arkaijn]

Daggerfall Covenant, I want to fight my former oppressers

 

[Keymik]

Ebonheart Pact. I know it's one of the most unstable factions and they will most likely crumble.. But Nords are awesome and i'm going to play as one!

 

[Angelous Wang]

Assuming I ever play it.

Malacath demands I be Daggerfall.

 

[Ickorus]

If I get the game, i'll go for the Ebonheart pact.

Argonians are my favourite race and I want to see Black Marsh.

 

[Hades]

Dark elves are my favourite race so I'm leaning towards the Ebonheart pact but nothing is set in stone. I may also choose a redguard for the Covenant.

I'm not sure they choose their factions very well. I fear the Ebonheart pact will have to many players as it combined the most popular races and the Dominion will have the least players by far. Neither high elves or wood elves are all that popular and sharing their name and races with the Nazi elves may drive players away.

They are the canon victors of the war.

Really? is the outcome already known? How did they win and how did the other factions fare?

well the fact they are the race with the most humanoid traits seem to point that direction for the empire. thats just common sense no lore involved when I typing this.

Tiber Septim, the founder of the third Empire, was born Hjalti Early-Beard in the High Rock kingdom of Alcaire, and High rock is part of the Daggerfall Covenant.

The Ebonehart pact broke apart after the common threat, Molag Bal, was gone, and the Aldmeri Dominion got their faces stomped when Tiber Septim used a giant god-killing, time-altering, robot, The Numidium, to lay siege to, and destroy, Alinor, the capital of the Summerset Isles, in less then an hours time.
