Which one is your favorite? I only put down ones with a major quest line.

House Telvanni with Thieves Guild a close second. Thieves Guild would win if they had more of a presence and a few more interesting characters. The Thieves Guild quests themselves were really good. House Telvanni wins because of Aryon. Awesome character. He is everything one should aspire to be.

I went for Redoran. Telvanni (and Hlaalu), while very interesting are just not "nice" enough for me. It helps a lot on the MQ since you have to end up doing the top Redoran quests anyway to be named Hortator, so it's a lot easier if you are already Archmaster. You certainly cover a lot of ground with Redoran.

All factions have their own certain charm but there are some things that are a bit nonsensical about most of them for example Ajira in the Mages Guild is desperate for a promotion. If you just do the quests she gives you, you can advance a couple of ranks higher than her. For the Cult, I think you can get up to about the 6th rank by just standing in front of some dude and giving him cash.

I see that Telvanni takes an early lead! I voted for the east empire company because I liked that you could build a town and end up getting a house. Also the stock idea was cool!

It's hard to just pick one. Fighters Guild, Hlaalu, Imperial Legion...

I voted for the Imperial Legion. It cool actually being able to join them. Also the Lord's Mail and Chrysamere are really good.
So we have come to solve every squabble in the village personally?

I voted Morag Tong, They have always been, and always will be my favorite faction. House Redoran is a close second though.

I like House Indoril the most, even though you can't do much with them in the vanilla game. But for actual significant ones, I'd say either Telvanni or Morag Tong.

Telvanni/Mages Guild. I usually have any mage characters join both despite their hatred of eachother. I've joined Hlaalu a few times as well, but have never joined Redoran. They always seemed too stuck up for me.

I always perceived Redoran as a less inspired/less mysterious version of House Indoril. But maybe that's just me.

Mages guild isn't a poll option so I chose The Imperial Cult because I'm a Dibella worshiper.
