what faction will you join and why

Post by Durnehviir »

what faction will you join the dominion the pact or the covenant and why

I am gonna be a Altmer king because I keep getting this thought of blowing my enemy's up with magic then chopping them too little pieces with a axe.

Is that a healthy thought?

You go, your majesty!

We are talking about this in our "What will you do?" thread as well. ;)

Wait a sec.... why isn't Imperial a playable race. I checked on the website and couldn't find what faction they are in.

They do exist, but they are the enemies, working with Mannimarco to keep control of Cyrodiil.

I am going to join the ebonheart pact. It just interests me how unlikely their allliance is. It's so...strange but amazing that the nords, dunmer and argonians, even though they have so many reasons to be enemies, put aside their differences And are like "k guys, we obviously know we can kick ass, and we all want the same thing, sooo bffs?" And that's how it goes in my brain xD that and nords are my favorite race.

I am going to have to agree with you on that. My choice after Imperial is Dunmer.

I personally prefer the Dunmer, and my two best friends IRL take Nords and Argonians. Um. I think I'll take the Pact. :D

I will probably join the Daggerfall Covenant, all things considered. I would be a Dunmer but I suspect a ton of people flocking to them (Dunmer always had a huge following, particularly after Morrowind) and I really like the prospect of playing a Breton, and think the combination in the covenant will be beneficial. We'll see how much I change my mind before then.

I just hope I'm not alone. :lol:

Pact, because it's the obvious fan favourite. Stick with the winning team.

Well if the Dominion is the only faction I'm able to join as a Bosmer then I'll join up with the Dominion. Though saying that I'd probably pick the Dominion anyway even if I was given the choice.

My race will either be Altmer or Breton, so I'm still not sure whether I'm going Dominion or Covenant... I'm probably going to choose what the majority of UESP will choose.

I'll have a character in each if I can. That way I can be in the Dominion (like a true Altmer would be) and still play with you guys :D

I'm planning to make my main an Orc warrior tank. Beating people over the head with a shield is always fun. Plus, GROUPING WITH AVRON! :mrgreen:

If I do play, I'm joining the Daggerfall Covenant. Bretons, friends.

Of course, I'm hoping to try all 3 factions with alts. Unless they don't let us do that. -_-
