Bethesda Announces The Elder Scrolls Online
- Thread starter Mike Kayatta
- Start date
I have super duper mixed feelings on this.
For one, they're planning on putting all of Tamriel into this game while keeping up with a 2013 release date? Seems a little rushed to me.
The combat in the Elder Scrolls games were definitely not designed for PVP. So unless they're planning on doing a dice roll system kinda like WoW, which is pretty shitty in general, how is this gonna work?
The amount of changes that are gonna have to be implemented just make me feel like this is not gonna be a Elder Scrolls game.

This may be one of the best things to happen to gamers in several years. :')
I can't wait to be able to visit all of the provinces that haven't yet been seen in the games, like Blackmarsh and Elsweyr. Obviously it will have to do away with some of the long-standing elements of Elder Scrolls/Fallout 3 gameplay, i.e. menus that pause the game and such, and having to do everything in real time is going to be INTENSE...
I can't say how excited I am.

the game informer mag was scanned and leaked.Ickorus said:
Im not gonna post the gallery here becase I dont know htis forums rules on scanned content
oh. another MMO in an already over-saturated market based on a game that has absolutely nothing to do with multiplayer or online. im so fucking happy i could... fall asleep...
i am really, really, really, really.... really sick of WoW clones, MMOs in general, and companies incessantly turning single-player franchises into the exact opposite of everything that made them popular in the first place. i dont care if this game gives you a blowjob after every level you gain, i could not be less interested. besides, im sure it would be cheaper to routinely go to a hooker to get blowjobs than it would be to drudge through ANOTHER grind-fest MMO for months.
think about that kids. you could be getting routine blowjobs instead of rotting away in front of a computer collecting 12 bear-asses and not be any poorer for it. this is how low gaming culture has sunk...

The game is, if anything, a GW2 clone more then a WoW clone.Frotality said:
It seems like it is stuck somewhere in the middle but leaning ever so slightly in the side of GW2.
Like many, my hope is that this is not the death knell for single player Elder Scrolls.
I'm sure many of you are lovely people, but I don't want to be on Tamriel with you.

People said the same thing about Star Wars...KeyMaster45 said:
Well, at least Yahtzee did... mind you I hoped SWTOR could've done it...
OT: Really... TES MMO?
I mean, I won't complain... But, Elder Scrolls is all about the single player experience and being dipped into it's own lore so much that you forget which world is real or not...
Mind you, I'll probably play it like everyone else... But if there's a subscription fee, I'll stick with GW2
Well Warhammer failed. Star Wars failed if there is an active franchise out there that has a legitimate shot at taking the crown from WoW it would be the Elder Scrolls i guess.
BUT we cannot forget Titan! IF a wow killer doesnt present itself soon then i bet Titan will overtake and destroy any competition. And after that people will still try to kill WoW but will be aiming for the 2nd spot. . . . eitherway its a win in my eyes since the games have to be both really good in order to get top spot.

WoW is declining fairly rapidly, with it's user base continues to drop. With so many free MMO's (and a couple of good ones) their is less and less reason to fork out 15 bucks a month for an eight year old game who's gameplay mechanics are at least a decade older than that. MMO's are finally trying to make combat FUN (such as Terra online) and more about reaction then skills with hot keys. So many high profile MMOs are coming out all just this year, each fighting for dominance with an advantage that WoW just completely lacks.John Funk said:
Elder Scrolls online isn't going to be the WoW killer, WoW will be on life support by the time it comes out.
PC only? They should've dragged it out and put in on the next gen consoles.
I'm skeptical. They'll have to change a lot. No killing NPCs at all. Leveled areas, possibly meaning it won't be fully open-world. A lot more monsters than they currently bother to put in. All potentially good things. But will they get it right?

Sigh, doesn't Bethesda understand that the only reason their games are popular is because modding is incredibly easy for them? There writing is sub-par at best, and they game play is mediocore. Apart from brand recognition, this MMO has nothing going for it.
Except maybe it will look pretty.
You know what would be cool? Multiplayer Elder Scrolls like what was done in Neverwinter Nights.

Just because I like raining on people's parades, read a bit of this post (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=472749).
If that is to be believed, we're apparently looking at nothing more than The Elder Scrolls: Azeroth. I just can't see this working out very well. When I picture an ideal ES MMO, I think of something like UO. But no, apparently we get a WoW clone.
