    Then it really shouldn't matter much more beyond the fact that it exists. To start worrying about incentives before any real information on the topic is released is pointless speculation.

    Could someone give the positive points they see in each Alliance (try to sell me on one) ? Maybe that will make allow me to choose.

    Um.. really beyond race restrictions I can't think of anything worth really noting that doesn't technically count as a spoiler. A lot of the reasons for deciding on a faction won't really be concrete until the game gets going.

    Thanks.
    1) Yup, only pre-order - however some people may sell the pre-order codes seperately since some keysellers are selling the pre-order edition without this code, but this is not officially sanctioned and could be any price/availability. If you pre-order from a keyseller make sure it specifically states it comes with the explorers pack.

    2) There is not really much difference - you will play all 3 zones at 50+ and 50++ content, so it is merely which zones you want to see first. Just pick the one either your friends/guild are playing if you have a guild in advance, otherwise, pick the one with whom you identify the most based on the website description - ultimately outside of grouping with other people it makes very little difference other than RP and zone order.

    Are there any guides that show the distance of abilities? Trying to figure out what I want to end up being, so far it's a Dunmer with a bow, but now I can't decide on DK or Templar, and medium or light amor.

    by distance do you mean range?

    you can see that with the esohead skill calc. It might not be 100% accurate on everything, but on ranges for skills it seems alright.

    Yup that's perfect, thanks. I just wanted to compare the range on the abilities between DK and templar. I don't want to be stuck using melee abilities when I'm using a bow lol

    Looks like it'll probably be a dark elf templar using a bow and light armor.

    Does this apply to pbaoe or just targetable/nuke spells?

    Not sure, in one of the Yogcast PvP videos Brain Wheeler said range is increased in Cyrodiil when the Yogcast guy was using a bow to shoot people on the wall, that was pretty much it.

    1) yes and they've said there are no plans to offer it later, you can upgrade to the imperial edition at any time but on 4/4/14 those who haven't purchased already will lose the chance to join any faction

    2) elderscrollsonline.com tells about the factions. there is no good or bad side. no sexy furries vs big ugly furries. there is no good reason to pick one faction over the other

  11. #19011
    I have one question. Has someone figured out how early/late one can and what the cost is for resetting skill points? Thanks in advance.

    Dividing a playerbase between old and new players a few days after start by providing a gameplay-related bonus is a sure way to build a community and ensure the game longevity, though.

    Silly question, but do imperial males have facial hair options? I was looking for customization vids on them but couldn't find one that showed if they did or didn't.

    Also, since I pre ordered the imperial edition...what do you guys think is the most enjoyable faction zone?
    Of all losses, time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed

    I found Aldmeri to be pretty fun, though i didn't play the others all that much

    exclusivity of things is what people want. the ones who miss the bus bitch and moan then snatch up the next exclusive offer. when you offer everything for all, things lose their point.

    the only point of a pointless digital item is to say "i have this, you don't, you can't"

    it's worked great for wow over the years.

    Oh, yes, pre order and alliance choosing. I'm going to be Khajit, that much is certain. Pre-order lets me join something that isn't run by those awful high elves I learned to hate in Skyrim? Yes! So, which of the non-Aldimeri-whatever-those-snobby-high-elves-are faction would be good for a Khajit?

    S'not what I want. I go after the things I want because I want them. Doesn't matter at all to me who else has access to it.

    Daggerfall would welcome you, kind Khajiit.
