There's More to Skyrim Than Skyrim

What this seems like it could be is. That they are continually adding provinces to the world to keep up appearances also to continue making the Elder Scrolls games as pretty as they can be and eventually after all is said and done. And the Elder Scrolls series potentially dies, they release the whole world on one game in a future generation.
uhh dude? TES is openly using DnD as source material just like baulders gat and a few other games and also...besides kvatch being in oblivion it is possible to have "heroes" of kvatch and also not to mention the greybeards even mentioned the fact there could be MANY dragonbornes at anytime, the greybeards just dont always find every one of themBlargh McBlargh said:
Hope it's a DLC cos I have a console
my hard drive probably wouldn't be able to support it though. meh

I don't see the reason of this. Me and my Skyrim Playing friends enjoy sharing stories of our own different Dovahkins, we exchange Alchemy recepies, places to visit and wonderous encounters we had so far. I don't need my friends to loiter around MY Whiterun and MY Solitude and MY House and MY Horse and MY Lydia. It's my gaming and I want to share the moments I chose...Dastardly said:
I can even share screenshots or youtube clips if I deem them important enough to be shared...
If you want socializing AND gameing at the same time but lack the capability of sharing the medium by conventional (e.g. verbal) means, try Farmville or WOW. But please stop thinking that redistributing the manpower from the main TES VI project towards multiplayer IMPROVES general quality of the product. In my opinion that's a sad delusion...
Oh how I wish I could co-op this with my boyfriend. Too bad fanboys would flame and have a screaming fit if they ever did that.
*sigh*

yes your most likely correct that most modern fantasy games rip off lord of the rings for races and what not but the game mechanics started in DnD. like stats and dice roll based damage and things like that. i said the greybeards mention there COULD BE many dragonbornes at any one time not that there are so there maybe more than just yourself in the time period that skyrim is based inBlargh McBlargh said:
Well you are thrown up into the sky for one of the Daedric prince quests while talking with them. Pretty much the exact same thing as in the Knights of the Nine DLC.Fasckira said:In Oblivion they had lots of landscape outside of the borders of the game map. Didnt mean anything though.
Think it was only there so for example when you were flung up into the air during the Knights of the Nine quest, you had something to look at if you had infinite draw distance on - could be the same here, or just something the devs flung in for people who would noclip out.
Considering how low res it all is, I doubt its for a specific DLC thing or similar
People like you are why we can't have nice things. Co-op Skyrim with my friends would be the best experience in a long, long time.Denamic said:
Multiplayer does not have to be MMORPG. Saints Row is the perfect example of a well made coop modus, and coop is multiplayer.
People always think "multiplayer => mmo". Being able to play the game with 1-3 friends would be fine, and they could implement it. Would you lose immersion? Yes. Would you be forced to play it? No.
So if they could do a coop modus, i'd gladly see one in the game. Since right now, my friends and i are all playing Skyrim + talkin' via Skype/Ts anyway. So why can't we just explore the shit together?
And yes, an open big world multiplayer would suck in the current form.
About the "All Tamriel TES" Game. IF they wanted to put as much detail into the whole tamriel as they did with Skyrim + keep the ratios of the regions; meaning Skyrim would stay as it is then add Cyrrodil and everyother region with its correct size, they'd probably need 10 years to create that game.
At least.
I'm close to 40h into Skyrim and have seen basically nothing, or at least i still have the feeling that i've ages of exploring ahead of me. Now multiplying this by (how many regions does tamriel have? 9, 10?) i'd say i could dump between 200-300h of playin' into that.
Casual players would be overwhelmed by the sheer size of the game. THAT would call for an MMO, i'd say.

No Bethesda please you've already taken so much of my life already. Making these areas accessible would warrant full commitment to my new life as a citizen of Tamriel.
No no no, we shouldn't be discussing MASSIVELY multiplayer Elder Scrolls games.
However, to say that having co-op TES games is bad, now THAT is crazy. How could including something like co-op ruin a series?

Personally, I think that a couple of the mappers and terrain guys got together and did it as a fan service. The DLC for Skyrim is all supposed to be smaller than Shivering Isles, so that rules out adding any of the other provinces.
That, or they just gave the modders a basic outline to work with, for the sake of being nice.
Still, I suppose that we could potentially get DLC that would add in Solstheim(?) Or an area like Bruma, so that we could see a bit more of Temriel in this new time period.
/edit
As for co-op, I'm not sure how I feel. My immediate fanboy reaction is to attack it, but I've been in party chat with a friend while we play Skyrim, and it can be frustrating to try and explain things to him, or to understand what he's describing. For that reason, I can see the appeal of drop in co-op, of the sort you find in Fable or the Lego games. Nothing that changes any of the plot or dialogue - just being able to have a friend drop into your world and kill things with you. That said, while it might be cool, it's hardly necessary, and I'm not particularly fussed either way.
TL;DR (That's right, this is how low my opinion is of your attention span...)[HEADING=3]Drop in co-op, maybe?[/HEADING] Certainly not multiplayer, certainly nothing that would require dialogue changes, just something simple. Think Lego Star Wars.
