That's why Eve is terrible. Why would you want to worry about finances in a game AND real life?

They get a free month to begin with, so we will have to wait.

I fancied Eve until I saw the combat.

EVE isn't about shallow and pedantic combat.

But that's what combat is. I mean I'm invoking Rush's Law here (I've never played it but that doesn't stop me having an opinion that's stated as fact). But from what I've seen combat is basically spinning around in a circle going pew pew pew. Elite was better than that.

But I think its cool that stories like this get published.

That's fairly awesome

I'm almost tempted but I don't think a 14 day trial is long enough. I can imagine in that time I'll have figured out how to rotate and raise and lower undercarriage. I don't like to pay for buttraep.

I was talking about the subscription itself, in response to beardo's question about the subscription itself.  Don't be pedantic.

I got this with rich legacy trust fund money from selling isagenix (buy from my mom pls)

And I got a code that lets me play any race in any alliance.

Will someone help make my racially motivated decisions?

It feels like it wouldn't really jibe with the lore to play as a race in a different alliance.  Not that it could never be justified, but I highly doubt there's anything in the writing that might actually address the discrepancy, and it's probably just something you'd be expected to ignore.  I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't have an issue with that, but if it were me, I'd just play as a member of my race's default alliance.

As for your race, I suggest you stick with the Orcs.  You have a lot in common with them.  They're big, green, have excessive elbows, are misunderstood by society, and live in strongholds.

That's right, but my issue is that I don't think it will be addressed in-game.  You'll probably just get the exact same dialogue as everyone else, nobody raising an eyebrow over the fact that you're a foreigner who's apparently on their side.

I know.  But that character works because the writing is different for him.  That's my whole point.  Now imagine if that elf was talking with a Nord accent, and was making the same jingoistic racial comments as most of the Nords do, without a word of explanation towards the fact that he himself is an Altmer.  In short, imagine if the game had treated him like just another Nord.  That wouldn't have worked.  It would have been weird and jarring.

I have found that to be true even within the same faction, I'm on an island of Orcs and they keep saying "BLAH BLAH BLAH, You don't understand our culture, outsider. Blah Blah. We aren't savages." Granted if I didn't click some of the lines of dialogue they wouldn't say it.
