Pro Vestige points:

1 Vestige is, as has been pointed out, used ingame as a capitalised proper noun.

2 This is the name by which all the leading characters of the main questline refer to you.

3 Soulless One is not used anywhere ingame that I have encountered yet.

4 Soulless one is cold, fairly characterless, and not very unique (first page of Google matches include a starfighter from Starwars; a book by Mark L Prophet; a Magic: The Gathering card; Vestige in comparison has a lot of color and sounds good and unique.

5 The meaning of the term "vestige" is very clear, as is why it is applied to the player's character.

6 The identity of Vestige is also clear to anyone who has played more than a few minutes of the game.

7 The overwhelming majority of editors here seem to favor it, so I suspect it will become the defacto term that everyone uses, even if another term were to be officially decreed by Zenimax or others.

8 Personally, I'd never heard of "The Soulless One" until I'd come to this page, and feel it to be a really stupid name that doesn't fit with the other titles of the main characters in the TES series.

Pro The Soulless One points:

1 "The Soulless One is the proper name going by Zenimax." [citation needed]

2 Three of the first page hits for "The Soulless One" are ESO related. None of the first page for "Vestige" or "The Vestige" are ESO related.
