Based on what happened with Warcraft I would say "no" but, I know there are players out there who just want a new, traditional Warcraft release. I'm sure there's at least one person who hates that Warcraft has become a MMO in general but you can't deny that most WOW players wouldn't give two squits about the original games in the series.Pancho Agdeppa said:
That being said, I strongly dislike MMO games. If the Elder Scrolls does get an MMO I'll leave it be, free or not. WoW only held my attention for about a month and I haven't given Rift or, Star Wars a chance. I would just stick with the older Elder Scrolls games (especially considering I haven't beaten Morrowind yet)
No, I have a thing against MMO's in established series. It tends to ruin the series of games because they put resources into the MMO and not the actual series.
For example, World of Warcraft happened after Warcraft 3, and now there are no more RTS Warcraft games. I don't want the to happen to the elder scrolls basically. And MMO's tend to change the way a game is played, and I like the way the series is now. I don't want multiplayer in ES except for maybe a coop option anmd that'd be it. It's a deep immersive single player game and I love it for that.

No it would be crap because no one could rebalance and finish it..... not to mention no mods.....
Yeah I corrected myself a few posts later.Lucem712 said:
I hadn't checked any news about it this year so still thought Interplay had it. And then stupidly shot my typing fingers off without checking the facts first.
As far as I can tell though, Interplay are still working on a project "similar" to Fallout Online they just had to drop all Fallout references.
It seems they also have a few more projects lined up if they can get financial backing.
And remember Elder Scrolls did have a Multiplayer Game one time and its Elder Scrolls Battlespire. And it focused more on Co-op and Deathmatch.
I dont know. I can consider playing Fallout MMO. But Elder Scrolls MMO? Gotta think about it. or if those two games happen to hit the Free-to-Play status. then i would play them just for the sake that i love those series.. a lot.

1: I wouldn't play it but thats because I don't like MMOs.
2: Hell no. Bethesda has done enough damage to Fallout as it is. I don't want them to screw it even more.
3: Not really. Lore and story wise TeS has never been anything special. An MMO would probably fit the franchise pretty well now that I think about it.

MMO's are where series go to die. My favorite rts Warcraft III and it's expansion died and became WoW. One of favorite series on original xbox the knights of the old republic died and became TOR. I wouldn't pay to play a elder scrolls MMO because of what happens when a series becomes a MMO it is a death sentence. Plus what makes elder scrolls fun there openness to do anything would be impossible for a mmo as the land would be stripped barren of plates, forks, plants and naked dead npcs would be everywhere.
As long as the mmo isnt being developed by the main studio and doesn't get in the way of the single-player development, meh, i might try it out.
#1) Well, from a marketing stand-point, elder scrolls is more popular than the fallout series, there's also more lore to go off of and a lot of stories to work with. However, i think a Fallout MMO would make more sense as the player(s) just being strangers surving in a retro-postapocalyptic world would make a lot more sense and be way easier to work with than trying to convince everyone theyre the "choosen one" in a world about fantasy like the elder scrolls usually is.
#2) Again, as long as its being developed from a studio that is seperated from the single-player games, it should be fine.

Would I pay to play it? No.
Would I pay it if it was "free"? No.
Would I play a Fallout MMO? No. Do I think Bethesda should make that instead? Yes, because I'm not invested in that series.
Do I think the series will be destroyed? Hopefully not, but I do not think an MMO would affect it in a positive direction...

Hell no! When it comes to MMOs class balance tends to be a big thing, and Bethesda are not very well know for making games that are balanced.
Now don't get me wrong, I'll play a single player version of Fallout 4 or the next TES, but not the MMO. Most if not every Bethesda game has been broken as hell, and to have that in PvP or even PvE playing against other players? I'm sorry, no!

I've never played an MMO I liked.
I like the idea of MMO's. You've got a massive, ever-evolving world where thousands of players work together to accomplish epic goals. Wow! That sounds great!
I've tried several, including ones that I keep hearing are the "best" of the genre. Every one I've tried turned out to be nothing but level-grinding, convoluted number-crunching, and linear progression through ugly enviroments. They are, in short, boring.
I like the Elder Scrolls series, but unless Bethesda bucked pretty much every gameplay mechanic that has come to define MMO's over the years, I can't see myself enjoying such a game.
ADDENDUM: Drop-in/drop-out co-op would be pretty cool, though.

well it really depends on just how they go about making it a MMO. if the keep it relatively the same as now just with more people and more awesome dungeon crawling the yeah it could be fun. on the other hand if it turns out like every other MMO with ability bars and cool downs, not to mention the "kills 10 of these, oh your done thanks now collect me 10 of these..." i would have to politely decline and go back to skyrim.
im not exactly sure just how a MMO elder scrolls would work but if it was all about farming xp for gear to go do dungeons for more gear, well i gave that up years ago and don't plan on returning.

After the mess that was Skyrim, and how the game worlds seem to lose imagination with each progessing title I'm not sure if I'll even bother with the next TES game. If it's an MMO I certainly won't, they have been trying to streamline to combat (attempting to make it a bit more fluid, like might or magic or pirates, vikings and knights) which while it hasn't worked, I think is for the best. An mmo will almost definately signal the end of this. It would also (as it has for warcraft) freeze the universe. Time only seems to pass when blizzard decide they need some more beer money and throw out an expansion, I would hate to see TES reduced to that.
I don't know, Skyrim kind of disapointed me, The story in that was pretty horrible and the side quests were just fetch/kill/talk x then get 100 gold, And i imagine with an mmo it would be just that but worse, So unless they decide to go back to rpg rather then focus on action then no.
