Originally posted by Ikeda I'm on the faction not touching this game with a 10 foot pole until 6 months after launch. I'm jaded and anymore the same old slog is not enough. They want my money? They'd better innovate. And I'm sure as hell still not preordering.
I could not agree more. It seems these new MMO only try for the fast cash. I want a MMO I can call home. 6yrs is the longest I ever played one game, DAoC. Can another keep my attention for that long or longer?
Now that we know the 3 factions: Daggerfall Covenant, Ebonheart Pact, and Aldmeri Dominion, and we've had a chance to learn about each faction, and their playable races, which faction will you play for?
Just a quick recap, or for those who don't know yet:
Daggerfall Covenant-
Races: Bretons, Orcs, Redguard
Provinces: High Rock, and Hammerfell
Ebonheart Pact-
Races: Dunmer (Dark Elves), Nords, Argonians
Provinces: Morrowind, Skyrim, and Black Marsh
Aldmeri Dominion-
Races: Altmeri (High Elves), Bosmer (Wood Elves), and Khajiit
Provinces: Elsweyr, Valenwood, and The Summerset Isles
What is this crap? Are you trolling or something, TES does not have factions.
Most likely going Ebonheart, although there is a slight chance that I'll go Altmeri. My old GM from WoW and RIFT and I(as his former Raid Lead Officer) are planning to get in at launch and form a guild.
I want to play my Breton who lives and works in Skyrim as a merchant and doesn't get involved in any war...so when I can do that in TESO that is what I will be.

Unfortunately TESO does.
Booo! on race locked factions.
Which is only one of many design decisions that run contrary to the gameplay of the single player titles.
Assuming Bretons have magic resist similar to Skyrim, then I'll role a Breton. If this is removed then whatever toon I like the look of. Faction does not really interest me.
No Imperials? I dont know then. Guess Ill wait til the character models come out. Hopefully they arent as crappy as the Off line games are (without downloading someone else's mod).

Because I'm psycic and I know this game will fail and is a WoW clone(STOP GIVING ME FACTS, FACTS ARE FOR FANBOIS!) I won't touch this garbage because I know it will fail. I mean, its not even sandbox, and everyone knows that every sandbox ever created has been a run away success with millions of players and that themeparks have never netted more than 10 players!
Err I mean.....Well anyways it depends on more released info. I would quickly join the Aldamari if they allowed you to be the racist and evil Thalmar. I would so want to make a guild on a RP server where they do the goosestep, treat anyone not High Elf like garbage and hunt down any none faction member, basically just be as evil as possible. Otherwise I'm torn on liking Morrowwind, and wanting to see Highrock.
Overall I might wait a couple months to see how the game does, because despite mocking the people calling this game garbage months before its coming out, I'm a bit apprehensive on mmos these days as well.
Start with an Altmer and focus on healing/support type build. Not sure about mage/thief/warrior type yet, need to see more info. After a few months probably going to check out DC and make a Melee Orc to crush some skulls. After that probably head over to the EP side and make a dps stealth Dunmer or a dps mage, figure I'll hit up EP last because most of the kids will be playing that at launch crying about skyrim coop so they will be long gone.

It really comes down to this for me. If it's another cloneish themepark, I'll pass. Sick of themepark mmorpgs
What happens when you log off your characters????.....

A thousand years of pain
I'll be playing a Nord...in Skyrim.
I'm not touching this sad excuse for an ES game.
Aldmeri Dominion
Why? Because I would play a Ranger and wood elves are the way to go

If I were to play this game then Ebonheart.
But I'm going to wait to see what they actually make. I suspect i won't be playing.
Still, I had no intention of playing SWToR and I rather enjoyed it. so you never know.

currently playing: DDO, AOC, WoT, P101
I usually roll by the zones, and I'll probably roll Aldmeri Dominion on my first character.
I'll surely try Ebonheart Pact some time, but not at first.

lol.
Allough I'm 99.9% sure it will be under powered, I'm going to play the ddos class and grind the login server boss all day.
Will wait to see the gameplay before making any decision
