Last thread capped. Starting a new thread here about the subject of faction-locking...

Original thread can be found here:

...what makes you think having 9 entirely separate leveling sections is even necessary or would be the only option?

How about we have the player level via exploration and choosing what content they dabble in instead of having dedicated "leveling zones"? Why can't they just have content for EVERY level in the zones, and leave it to the player to explore-choose what he/she does and how he/she levels? This should be Elder Scrolls, not Warcraft. And before you say "It can't be done in an MMO" may I point out Ultima Online, the father of all MMORPGs, did exactly that. UO had no "leveling zones"... you just explored and gained stats/abilities via your skills. You can run into a dragon cave at a tiny level (but obviously little guarantee that you'll survive! )

i for one will not be making another character simply to make it so im able to explore all the areas .. totaly rediculas!

Well, that's what I had to do in DAoC when I wanted to explore everything.

I for one will be making an Alt character. I will have my main character that I've already picked my faction and race for, and I'll choose an alt at a later date as I like to concentrate on one for a while.

I'm excited that I'll have a chance to have two completely different levelling experiences.

One sign that is rather telling is the fact that they said the imperial race won't be playable "right off the bat". Which means they may make them playable in the future, which may end the war quest line and open things up.

How can people not be excited by the idea of having three completely different levelling experiences? As opposed to, say In single player where you do make an alt but a lot if it is exactly the same. The same would be true if all provinces were open.

Then people would be complaining about that instead. They are damned if they do, damned if they don't either way.

Why do people expect absolute perfection? It's a very flawed thing to expect that. Nothing is perfect.

Not just explore other areas but experience other story's, it is not rediculous it adds more reason to eat up more content it's actually a good idea to keep people playing who get bored when their character is capped. Even if I could explore all of Tamriel whats it matter? There will not be any content there, it would be boring as hell, you can only play the same character so long. Eventually we will all roll a new character.

because im not FAKE in my mmo or anything else in life ... im myself! i play me .. why? cause i like myself 1 personality 1 person 1 me!
i dont hide behind other factions and pretend to be some one im not simply to explore ... its stupid!

no ty .. i will iether wait till they allow me to go as my dark elf or ill just not be going to that area .. wich is what they want to force people to make it seem like its ok. and its not ok. im not down with it.

It's also called Role Playing a character. Rather a lot of people do it. In fact I'm betting half the players on this board do, too. At least.

i am RPing im RPing myself as a dunmer ... i do not want to be any other of those characters .. i dont like them

So because you don't like them, others shouldn't?

the topic is faction locking ... you can do w/e you want to ... as for me i dont want to and im stating my opinion .. ty

Haha short and sweet, well if that is your choice i'm glad you'll stick to it. If you can keep playing the same character after sitting at the same level with the same gear and basically the same content untill an expansion is released (at least a year.) to add new ground good on you. Wish I had that kind of dedication but I can have just as much fun role playing a new character and experiencing new things. Noone is wrong here.

contradiction...

Anyway, I prefer faction-locked races. Actually gives faction some uniqueness and is further incentive to vary your playing experience.

I'm aware this is about Faction Locks I was answering that having 3 different experiences is a good thing. There are some that get easily bored. Not me, as I play my main character endlessly and do an Alt to see other things.

People would get bored and complain if they level capped and there was nothing to do in all of Tamriel. This gives a solid alternative.

I wish we hadn't started another one of these...

How you play a fantasy game as your 21st century self is beyond me, but hey maybe it's possible and good on you if you do somehow manage that. Though there's nothing wrong if everyone else wants to RP which is generally the main idea behind playing a game like TES.

Sadly I fear this is a topic that will rumble on and on until well after the release date.
