Of course there's freedom to be your own character. However, the overall game aesthetic/feel is likely going to be tailored to the faction though (a bit more ramshackle/silly for exile, a bit more shiny/proper for Dominion, based off what we've seen so far). I'm not pushing anything, where'd the nazi thing come from? If anything, I'm giving Dominion credit. I'm only basing my current personal opinion on how both sides have been presented so far. I really like bits from both factions, hence still being undecided. As it currently stands, I could probably be happy on either side.
