Evident discrepancy in skill of writer for each faction?

Reading through the three previews above, I was greatly encouraged by the eloquent way in which it was written - in only one case. The Aldmeri dominion's page, coupled with its explanation of motive by the leader, Queen Ayren, gives a coherent and persuasive explanation as to the Dominion's motives. However, in the case of the Daggerfall covenant, the motivational speech by the High King is more of a wet squib, providing an uninspiring and boring motivation for the Covenant, and raising concerns about the consistency of the quality of TESO writing. I'm now worried that in one faction we'll se excellent and logical writing, and in the other, bland a uninspiring writing. Did anyone else share these concerns or have any other thoughts on the story prospects.

I k ow it's a bit early in the game, but if the same person/people working on the Covenant wrote the preview, I'm worried.

I don't really see a problem with the guy's speech, in all honesty. What exactly makes it seem so cheap?

Well he basically just says - our economy's a bit screwed over, and the proceeds into a warriors rant about painting Tamriel red with the blood of their enemies IMO not really a rallying or interesting speech, and despite being short, very inconsistent.

I guess, he is supposed to be a master diplomat after all. Still, seems he was just quickly trying to rally his people into fight mode.
