gaming The Elder Scrolls Online

[Lightning Bolt 65]

I just got the new Game Informer and it turns out that Bethesda is going to make a Elder Scrolis MMO for the PC featuring all the provinces from Morrowind to Skyrim. It is supposed to come out in 2013. This game is going to be awsome!

featuring all the provinces from Morrowind to Skyrim.

 

You do realize that these provinces are RIGHT next to each other...

I am pretty sure he means the provinces from the games themselves; ie. Morrowind, Cyrodiil, Skyrim

The game is going to include EVERY province.

I don't like where this is going, I'd have preferred an online co-op mode. But well, we will see then.

[LunaShy 168]

Stupid. Yet another game made for people who can afford to keep their PC's running with the best technoligy. Bethesda DONT WASTE YOUR TIME I WANT FALLOUT 4!!!!!

This piques my interest, although I will most likely be unable to pay for it since I am a cheapskate. :/

Oh you are also able to play co-op with friends.

[Swordfishtrombone 384]

Thats alright. I would really like to see Fallout 4 soon though...

[Jadefire 2,797]

I understand that the MMO is being developed by a different group and therefore most likely won't detract from or delay Skyrim expansions or Fallout 4 in any way. So that's a good thing, I suppose.

 

That being said, I'm not a fan of MMOs, so despite being a massive Elder Scrolls fan my opinion's pretty much neutral on Elder Scrolls: Online. Though we'll see if I end up getting excited for it anyway in the future. x3

It doesn't have me super hyped up, but it does sound interesting. My opinion will probably change when there's a bit more info on it. 2013's still awhile off, and there are a lot of other games coming out this year i'd rather get hyped on than one that i won't be able to play for a long time

[CUINJALE 120]

I don't feel like the Elder Scrolls series really needs multiplayer in it. It works so well as a singleplayer experience.

[Steamgamer27 170]

And I was so getting used to all the multiplayer mods in Skyrim. They were starting to get really good. I hope they still continue their builds and new releases.

[Starshine 16,334]

If the players in this planned MMO will be allowed to pick a dragonborn as their character, bloody hell...

 

Thu'um all the way until the next Christmas. Kill steal using Yol Toor Sul. Hundreds of grievers spamming Strun Bah Qo in the city.

 

On the other hand, things will be very interesting

[PinkamenaPartyPie 65]

I'm half and half on this.....I LOVE the Elder Scrolls. I'm just afraid they are going to go all WoW with it...and that makes me sad face.

[GrooveBroove 680]

What i've seen so far has me pretty uninterested.

Once again we have a MMO going the route of lets copy WoW and see if we can knock it off the number 1 spot.

 

However some of the more original ideas do sound interesting.

I guess it's just a matter of needing to know more.

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

I'm not sure about this... I enjoy the Elder Scrolls, but I don't really like MMO's...

[Cain 24]

Meeeeeeeeeh.

I don't really want the Elder Scrolls being turned into a money-making machine MMO like WoW or something.

[Bunni 1,075]

Naahhh... I prefer games like Skyrim, Oblivion, etc to be offline and single player only. I might give this a try but then again, might not.

Most people assume MMO's all copy wow, simply because its the most popular. It's hard to get away fom beign compared to wow when its an mmo, sure, but it might be succesfull. WoW was actually an attempt to get some of the popularity that the first mmo's did. WoW's not the first, jsut the most popular. So most people assume they'll copy it

[Strafe 594]

I wanted fallout 4, instead I got another game that will add to the stale mmo genre.

[The Milkman 186]

[Twiliscael 3,960]

I prefer my Bethesda series' as single player RPGs, not MMOs.

This better not get in the way of Fallout 4 or I will beat down everybody in the world with a titanium Xbox controller.

Did you get accepted as a beta tester and what class are you going to play as?

 

I'm planning on being a archer or maybe duel daggers. My race is going to be the Khajiit.
