Just pick whatever faction looks good to you. It has no effect on gameplay other than the faction war. I picked Vikings because I wanted a round emblem.Originally Posted by Reignskream Go to original post
The only real difference choosing a faction makes is the shape of your in-game avatar (vikings get a circle, samurai a rectangle, knights a shield). Other than that some people are going to get some cosmetic rewards somewhere in the future for 'winning' the war.
The true is the whole mechanic is Ubi's way to make people mentaly invested in something meaningless, hype up each other and post dumb memes on Reddit. And it worked perfectly.
