I really have no problem with being locked out of certain factions, especially if those two factions are sworn enemies or opposed to the other's ideaology.

For example, if Faction A is determined to exterminate Faction B, you shouldn't be able to join both. Like what happened in Dawnguard. Or if Faction C believes in upholding Value C, whereas Faction D views this as wrong.

It also increases replay value. Take the recent debacle with ESO where you could play through all 3 alliance zones with 1 character, which killed a lot of the replay value for me, plus made no sense why I would go help these 2 alliances when I'd just spent 50+ hours working against them and killing them in droves.
