Bethesda: The Elder Scrolls Won't Become an MMO

[kouriichi]

Could you at least make it co-op?
Who doesnt want to go dragon hunting with a friend?
Or having someone stupid who you take advantage of follow you around as a pack mule? ((Whom you call friend))

Im glad companions are becoming part of the game, but id say SOD IT for online co-op.

I agree, Co-op is one of the things I have been waiting for in an Elder Scrolls game. I don't see why not. Sure, have the Single Player experience, but maybe offer co-op after you've played for 10+ hours or something. That way I could have my fun in Single Player then have fun with friends in MP later.

Theres no reason for there not to be a co-op.
Theyre adding companions to the game. Im sure 90% of the time story or quest related, they will never pop up as an issue. And they only time they would is when you HAVE to separate from them. But even then, that means they can run off and do their own thing while you finish that story line quest.

But then again, most people wouldnt be playing the story with a friend in a game like Oblivion/Skyrim. They'd be dungeon diving, and looting people's homes from gold.
Im sure one thing they'd say is, "we dont want it to end up like the fable co-op", but they are to different to even compare how they'd play with co-op.

Finally a man who gets it! I love you Todd Howard (in the platonic way). In a world where everyone is the chosen hero no one is. Thank you for keeping Elder Scrolls the lone epic. Epics are epic.

Makes sense to me. I couldn't really see it as a MMO. Leave that to WoW and that new game who's name I forgot.

Nice/awesome. The whole MMO deal doesn't work for me. I want to be the best >=(

I always feel like they are just doing it so they don't have to do the work behind it. They know the game is going to sell. And mods will add it for the computer (if i'm not mistaken.)

I am glad for this, although part of me really badly wants a LAN feature to play for a few people. A sort of limited-multiplayer. Then I could play with my friends in one giant world and it will feel more alive with multiple people running around in it.

Hell, even having the option for co-op play so my girlfriend can run around the world with me would be nice.

Alduin the World Eater

I actually wanted to see what that was...Link doesn't work.

OT: I would like to see a "Multiplayer" aspect like borderlands. Up to 4 in one game with arenas where you can fight each other. I would also like to see the Morrowind Style of armor come back.

Huh, I'm sorry. I'm not sure why it's not working. Here is the actual link, if you want to see the earlier post: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/106742-Dragon-Tongue-Reveals-Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrims-World-Eater

*looks at av* This is unacceptable! I spent a long few seconds wondering when the Hell I posted on this thread...

...that aside, the OP is the best news I've been waiting to hear forever. No ES MMORPG? I couldn't be happier! *dances*
