And it's coming to PC and Mac in 2013.

What do you think? Blockbuster or WoW chum?

They have a DAoC guy at the head of the project, so that's promising.

However, it'll be on Hero Engine, so I guess we'll be experiencing the same old autoattack and hotkey combat system, rather than TES' quite more enjoyable actiony combat.

Which is utter shit.

I can't believe this. Multiplayer Elder Scrolls is just... Just... I have no words. This is terrible.

Zenimax Online was formed and acquired a license for HeroEngine in 2007.

I mean, I don't want to jump to conclusions or anything, but pretty much this is the end of the Elder Scrolls series for me. I'll be starting auditions for a new sci-fi/fantasy singleplayer RPG universe shortly. COS THIS ONE IS DEAD TO ME.

So, that's the end of the Elder Scrolls? Well, at least it went out with a bang, with Skyrim being a resounding success. Ok, maybe I'm exagerrating a bit, but I just don't see a new "proper" Elder Scrolls being made while they have an MMO rolling around. Kinda like how we're not going to see a new Warcraft game while WoW lives. Also, I'm pretty sure that a that the ES MMO will manage to miss all the stuff that made ES great in the first place, so poopy...

Its being made by a different studio they will continue working on the elder scrolls 6.

I kinda have mixed feelings about this. While an MMO set in one of my favourite game worlds would be lovely, I can't help but wonder whether it's really going to be all that different to World of Warcraft. Unless it has something special about it (other than being set in tamriel) I probably won't buy it.

That's a relief. If it had meant that there weren't going to be any more ES single player games then I probably wouldn't have bought it out of principle.

I expect it to tank and fail not to long ater it is made.

the ES has a large group of fan but people dont play the ES series to play with other people.

Can't wait to see how buggy a multiplayer version of an Elder Scrolls game will be. I think it'll fail just because of their terrible QA.

I wouldn't mind a LAN version though, so you could play with a couple of friends on/off.

I thought that might be the case. But no, that changes little. Call me entitled, petulant and/or childish if you wish, I don't want any of this multiplayer nonsense. The moment you let all those gross, disgusting, smelly 'other people' into my Elder Scrolls universe, you have ruined it. Pretty much permanently. I don't know how it could recover. The lore, the immersion, the very idea of what I consider the universe to be, is shattered.

Claiming the game will suck because it's not single player is ridiculous.

In fact, claiming it'll suck without seeing anything about the game yet is ridiculous.

I'll wait and see some videos before I make any sort of decision as to whether the game is good or bad.
