Gonna have to change A LOT about TES system if they hope to make it even remotely balanced and workable as an MMO. Like, a complete overhaul.
if it'll be on 360...you bet your ass i'm happy about it. i can't do PC gaming. laptop..with no money to upgrade or buy a gaming PC....
I'll tell you what I don't want- to pay a monthly fee. But since there inevitably will be one, I doubt I'll get this. Honestly, I'd much rather play alone. Now, 2 or 4 player drop in/ out would be awesome so I could play with a few friends, but damnit Bethesda, I don't want an mmo. Even if by some stroke of luck there won't be a fee, I likely won't be buying this. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go cry over the death of one of my favorite RPG series, and the fact that one of my favorite WRPG developers ( meaning I am still denying the existence of Wet and Rogue Warrior, even if all they did with the latter was publish or produce it or whatever) literally just stabbed me in the back with a rather large sword.
Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age: Origins 2 sound way better than Fallout: New Vegas and an Elder Scrolls MMO...DarkSaber said:
I might join you in tears. I'm already not playing KOTOR 3 because I don't have the time or patience to dedicate to an MMO. If one of my favorite series TES goes MMO I think it'll ruin TES for me as a whole.MiracleOfSound said:If TES5 is an MMO I'll cry.jthm said:Not at all happy.I hate MMOs. I wanna be the main character of an RPG.
ugh.... I really think it's a bad idea.
MMOs are definitely going to be super saturated in the next couple years.
We get it. everyone wants a piece of WoW's success.. but MMO players don't change between games very often. if they did, WoW wouldn't be successful.
MMOs inherently require loyalty to a single game. Just because a lot of people play MMOs does not mean that your MMO will be successful at all. I'd need both hands to count the MMOs that have failed or floundered in the last 5 years alone.

No. Just no. There's no way I'll play that. I could see it working with a limited multiplayer capacity. 2 to 8 players or something. But an MMO. Not a chance.
Not convinced til I get some gameplay footage shown on the breast of a chicken which died of natural causes, and was aged perfectly, and slowly roasted.
Man, I'm hungry.

Come on, why?!
The point of TES was to be able to do whatever you wanted in the massive world. You could follow the story, or you could purge half of the towns of life. How could an MMO possibly replicate that?
Besides, Bethesda might be shooting themselves in the foot here. Depending on when it will come out, it would have to compete with WoW: Cataclysm, Star Trek (to a degree), SW: ToR, and the Fallout MMO that is apparently still alive.
I doubt I would buy that. A multiplayer mode would be nice, but more than 10 players would just destroy the atmosphere, and the typical MMO mechanics (grind, etc) won't help either. But on the plus side, with virtually all the text in the game remaining unspoked (as typical for an MMO), Bethesda won't have to bother with those extra voice actors that have been missing from Oblivion

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Unless everything outside of towns is instanced, or instanced with people within a certain level bracket. (e.g. if you're level 32, you go into the 30-35 bracket, and all mobs in there are leveled appropriately, while still giving you other people in the area)Onyx Oblivion said:
I'm sure it would work, and I'm sure I won't like it. If they don't do a proper ESV I'll kill them all. Besides, you can't really mod an mmo. Bastards.
Please god no... :-(
Does every single game have to have sodding MP now? Plenty of games can stand up on they're own without the need for MP and the Elder Scrolls series is definitely one of them. I could see 2 player co-op, but full mmo really would mess up the feel of immersion that these games have always had.
Imagine, exploring the wilderness, stretches of land that haven't seen humanoids for years and just as you're walking over the next rise, some PvP Griefer runs up and backstabs you... No thanks Bethesda!
