A Solution for Faction Locks

Post » Fri Jan 31, 2014 12:34 pm

Remember in Skyrim, Windhelm. There was a female Altmer living amongst them. Yeah, she was a friendly and even spoke about how she earned the respect she got, yet still people looked down on her. Was that sooooo lore breaking? I mean the capitol of the Stormcloaks accepting an Altmer?

A Nord accepting an Altmer is VERY different from the Altmer accepting a Nord.

Humans get to have an awesome after life. Altmer don't get to ascend to divinity until all the humans are dead.

I thought the Altmer didn't believe in the same things as Humans. But as you state, you're an altmer that holds a little jealousy for humans, as they get "an awesome after life." Then your goal is to send all of them to their "awesome after life."

I think it adds an interesting twist on things. I role-play alts on TES and love making diff stories. Even had an Altmer who hated the AD and Thalmor in Skyrim. He felt like he was truly Nord at heart.

The thing is... How will we be able to distinguish who is friend or foe?

i love seeing all the races. i dont want them blocked from view. i prefer an open world where we can go anywhere anytime and see any race at anytime.

I don't hate them because they're human, I hate them because they're stopping me from ascending. I don't care what happens to them so long as I get what I want. And they're stopping me, therefore I hate them for it.

If I saw a human in any other TES game, I had the full ability to kill them like any proud Altmer would.

Now you expect me to break off the tradition I and many are entitled to having in an RPG and force me to work with people my character should never accept as a partner under any circumstances?

And by the way, tell me again, since servers are forced to cap at 5000 people with no easy way to switch between servers, tell me exactly why you're against faction-locked servers of our own choosing?

Because a server for 4 people just isn't cost effective.

Why can't people just accept the facts... Any Race in Any Alliance from pre-orders... Nothing is going to change that. No amount of complaining, no amount of "Reason"... Nothing is going to change what Zenimax has chosen to do. I wish people would stop making these pointless threads already. If it was such a big deal, no one would have bought the "Pre-Purhcase/Order" in the first place. But as it so happens, over 1000+ people have already done so (exaggerated numbers of course... maybe not), so let's all accept the fact, that nothing is going to change, stop making stupid threads that end up locked in the end, and cry deeply inside, or praise Zenimax for doing something that we ALL seen was coming ages ago.

Seriously... You're wasting time making new threads/topics about this now.... How many threads have been locked already? Exactly, too many to count. Just... stop... and accept it already... Either you spend money, or you don't, it's plain and simple by now...

Someone is sure putting up a fight about lore, yet suggests a mudcrab vanity pet should get a tophat and a monocle.
