What Faction are you going to play and why...pretty simple.

Ebonheart Pact. Because we aren't nancies.

Ebonheart and Daggerfall and the elfy thingy Aldmeri Domini because I want to be an evil dunmer mage and I want to be a powerful orc warrior and I want to be a sneaky catperson

And I think every race should stay in their own faction. I can't believe they destroy that even before the game's been released.

I remember a poll about this... Oh wait there it is, in my search returns!

Daggerfall Covenant. Why, because I understand their intent.

Daggerfall Covenant. They are the most down to earth.

Why is Ebonheart Pact fighting in Cyrodiil anyway?

All of them. Because.

EP because Argonians

Taken from the website:

-The Ebonheart Pact is the most unlikely of the three alliances. The Nords and Dark Elves have a long history of conflict, and the Argonians were enslaved by the Dark Elves for thousands of years.

-It was the Akaviri invasion that forged a bond between them. Now they are determined to control their own destiny by defeating the Empire, while preserving their own fiercely independent homelands.

Basically, us free spirited Ebonheart Pact members are sick of you nancies messing around with our way of life with your wars, so were going to put a stop to that by controlling Cyrodiil and bringing rest to all of Tamriel. While making khajiit kitty slaves at the same time.

^Yeah, you bring peace now, but after about a thousand years you Nords insult the Dark Elves and Altmer again. Typical.

I really like Khajiit NPCs and doing quests for them, so had briefly considered Aldmeri Dominion. However, I can't be doing with the Bosmer and Altmer. So I shall be playing an Altmer (but mine won't be annoying) but on Ebonheart Pact as I love the starting areas and also like Argonians. Would have loved to play an Argonian something but so much facepalm at the racials. Would have called him/her Argues-with-fools.

Long, rambling story shorter: Ebonheart Pact.

Wouldn't this have been easier as a poll?

If they are in charge, no one can tell them what to do.

Ebonheart first. Daggerfall second. Aldmeri, not at all [until I get really, really bored.]

Independent homelands first. Economic stability second. Overbearing, arrogant, elitist, egotistical know-it-alls when there is nothing left to do before a content update.

I might make a khajiit or bosmer, but it will be in one of the other two factions.

Daggerfall Covenant. They are underdogs. Oh.. and I like killing crocodiles and their areas have plenty.

So basically they have no motive besides riding the Akaviri war momentum and being afraid that the Covenant or Dominion will tell them what to do if they are in charge?

This

And this.

Short answers based on lore provided on the main site...

Daggerfall Covenent wants control to restore trade and commerce.

"Our supplies dwindle. Our trade routes are shut down. Our people suffer. Why? Because a pretender sits upon the Ruby Throne.

Aldmeri Dominion wants control because they believe Man is inferior to Mer.

"I have no hatred for the races of Man, but they are young. Like all children, they are driven by emotion. They lack the wisdom that comes with age. I would sooner place an Altmer infant on the Ruby Throne than surrender Tamriel to their capricious whims."

- Quenn Ayrenn

Ebonheart Pact wants to control their own fate.

"they are determined to control their own destiny by defeating the Empire, while preserving their own fiercely independent homelands"

- Taken from the site. Jorunn didn't have a quote that explains their war philosopy quite like the others. In essence, they feel the way to preserve their way of life is to be in charge so they cannot be oppressed. It seems to me, that if in control, they will allows others to do the same. Not sure if that is true, but that's my perception.

Of the 3, I will probably go Pact. Mainly, because I tend to prefer the nordic styling and themes. Lush and beautiful isn't really my thing.

BLOOD FOR THE PACT!

Aldmeri Dominion, reason: To remake my old Altmer Sorc I had in Skyrim. Also: Queen Ayrenn.

AD because of kate beckinsale, better start areas, better starter area storylines, razumdar, and khaljit slaves.

We aren't all so bad, you know.

EP because because even though we hate each other's guts, we won't be bossed about.

TRIBUNAL FACTION!

I mean, Ebonheart.

Our goddess is hotter.

And a goddess.

Ebonheart for Nords and Dunmer and DC for Orsimer. I'm not a fan of any of the AD races although I may make one or two crafting alts to level and see the different zones at some point in the far off future.
