My favorite thing about Skyrim was that there was no online. No "Lady Gaga's Sk8boi3's or Smokeweedeveryday" to ruin my immersion.

It's going to be yet another WoW reskin from what I've seen so far.

Hotbars
No first-person
Can't steal stuff off tables, etc
Worse graphics than Oblivion

I'm not looking forward to it because it has the potential to kill the single player Elder Scrolls brand, of which I am a fan. I hope they don't mess up the Dwemer lore either, or ruin the mystery behind that race.

The name thing wouldn't be a issue if they have a RP server that upholds the naming rules like many games have. My issue was the first thing I saw was classes, not open skills like Skyrim. If they had at least that much I would be all over it.

I love the elder scrolls series and when I heard there was going to be an elder scrolls MMO I rolled my eyes Roll and groaned. Another cash-in attempt, that will damage an otherwise good single player franchise, if we even get another single player game because ESO sucks up so much resources. I couldn't be less interested in the game and the little I've actually heard about it makes me even more worried. Just another standard MMO with an elder scrolls paintjob, that will be overhyped, sell a ton of initial copies and will flop horribly within a year. Do not want.

I would be looking forward to it, if EVE wasn't sucking up all my time.

Another long time TES fan here been playing since TES II daggerfall
When i first read about TES O i thought nice till little by little information came out

Pre determined classes
Locked third person view
No sneaking up andbackstabbing other players
A almost complete change of the TES lore to match the game they are creating
it is not actually bethesda developing the game it is their sister company that is working on it
My opinion alot of the long time fans will give it a go but to be honest it will be another candy coated themepark mmo
Sad tho they have the chance to create something new and radical different away from the standard. Themepark lvl grinding cookie mmos but it looks they will not

On the other hand rumours have it that Bethesda is actually working on the next Fall out

I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire

Yep, they're aiming for the "broadest audience" which means stfu TES fans, we want WoW subs!!!
sad-sad-fail

10 mil skyrim units sold alone, you would think that audience would be a good target. Nah, we wantz WoW subz!!!

I'm in it for the money

They're not making The Elder Scrolls; they're making a another WoW clone.

Do. Not. Want.

I don't want fixed classes, I don't want a fully guided storyline. I want a sandbox like Morrowind and especially Skyrim (and to a lesser extent, Oblivion).

Not much left to discover on the Dwemer, since like 2001 ...

Well, honestly, if they make the game a WoW clone, Im out too of the bandwagon, Id rather drive like the bike guy in Happy Wheels over chainsaws, spikes and razor death machines than play any other game that remotely resembles the worn out mechanic of fixed classes and mob grinding .. ugh ...

As a fan of the single-player series, I will be sitting this one out.

Yeah the world/art/environments looked really nice, but everything else is the same song and dance. They touted large scale pvp of some sort, but...eh.

I think almost every MMO touts similar things and much more, but the end result is almost exclusively something other than what was promised in the sales pitch. It is unfair to judge ESO on the merits of other games, but I've grown very untrusting of the promises MMO devs make to sell their game. They'll find a slimy marketing twit to put on a smile, look you in the eyes and tell you how their product is revoltionary/evolutionary and truly amazing no matter what kind of turd they know they actually have wrapped in the package.

I think I'll do what I always do these days. I'll ignore most of the hype and wait a month or two after the release to see what people think of the game after the new game crush has worn off. If it turns out to be an amazing game, that's great. If it's a flop, I'll get my jollies from reading and trolling their raging forums. Either way it's win-win for me.

In all honesty I am undecided on this. I, like most in here am a long time huge TES fan. However, this wont be a wow-clone persa but a DAoC clone, which tbh i never played. The active element to gameplay is a nice gimick, but i do not know how much it will be able to retain my interest.

I mean hell, ever since oblivion i play the game on "hardcore mode" (no restarts, deleat character after death, max difficulty, etc) almost because i play eve. Losing my progress is one of the game modes i like to play (fps being the other most common), it adds an element of risk.

Its why i don't like the themepark mmo's. I can defeat you a hundred times, but why would i play for hours and hours for multiple years when essentially i am playing a different interface of what essentially is an FPS game. You lose the round, not the game. I want my actions to mean something in an mmo. And in eve, i get that and a hole lot more.

will still be watching with interest, mild interest.

I has all the eve inactivity

MMO? @#$@^ no

1-4 person same-world play...now you're talking.

For the forever alone types, you still have your single player experience just as you know and love it.
Multi player would be like Borderlands style co-op.

Everyone is on the same side and friendly fire is off. The power and number of enemies scales with the size of the party. The party can technically split and wander off to do their own thing, but the power boost to the enemies will make going it solo very dangerous. Everyone shares quests and gets rewards when the group completes them.

The characters in a multiplayer game would be save to a unique world, so whatever actions any player takes on that world will persist and show up when seen by another player.

The games would setup as multiplayer from the beginning and you would choose who to invite to make characters on the world, so you wouldn't have to worry about some random d-bag dropping into your world and murdering all the important NPCs.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.
