maybe they did. story wise, these indivduals could be defactors or traitors of some type, or maybe the particular faction they want to join is openly recruiting conscripts. the aldmeri dominion in online is not the same as the one in skyrim, they have khajiit allies as well, so its not entirely unreasonable that they have others as well.

what zenimax writes doesn't really break the lore since the time period they are writing for is a blank slate for them to create on. i guess my point is that its hard to judge this game in the way you are without having more information on it beforehand, as in more than just news on a pre-order bonus and speculation. and can you pwease give me a link to wherever zenimax said that the game will go free to play?
