Title: The Elder Scrolls move to MMORPG.
Post by: senpai_FisT on May 04, 2012, 10:41:53 PM: You heard it right, the biggest western RPG is going massively multiplayer in 2013.

The game takes place 1000 years before TES:Skyrim, in a Tamriel which is endangered by the daedric prince Molag-Bal. There are also factions, so the game might be a bit Guild Wars-esque. What's really amazing is that the game is going to cover the WHOLE of Tamriel.

Note : Details may vary from final product .

Post by: senpai_FisT on May 04, 2012, 11:11:19 PM: Bethesda is not going to make this one, they're leaving to a new company, Zenimax Online Studios.
About maintaining the TES essence....all elder scroll prophecies are about a single hero, a chosen one. I wonder how they pull it off with that many players.

Worst Case Scenario : Fable III

ArenaNet managed to make it work for Guild Wars 2. The game revolves around you, yet you can take your friends to join you on YOUR quests.

....Yeah, I expect this to end badly.

They're going to be wielding noob weapons and be screaming "BLAH BLAH BLAH ARROW TO THE KNEE LOLOLOL" and then complaining when they're level 1 and not able to kill Molag-Bal.

Post by: Mr.PowPow on May 07, 2012, 05:52:52 PM: I didn't like Skyrim that much either, it was good, but when compared to all the games that came before it.....there wasn't much of an improvement. Just felt like another chapter with some new DLC features. I just didn't feel it :/
