This looks dumb and bad and I won't play it. It does, however, make me want to play Skyrim some more so that's a thing I guess.

Funny. It seems they are determined to make the MMO not appeal at all to their current customers. I guess that's one way to make sure a new product doesn't negatively impact your original market - make the new product distasteful and unappealing to that market. Kind of like having Taco Bell come out with a new product - haggis ice-cream cones. This is the haggis of games.

Some like taking friends on adventures. M'aiq thinks being alone is better. Less arguing about splitting treasure. Others just get in the way. And they talk, talk, talk.

Kind of like having Taco Bell come out with a new product - haggis ice-cream cones. Pretty much. What really sucks, is we have constant regurgitation of designers/management within the MMORPG genre itself, and hence forth, never see anything new. Just rehashed unoriginal garbage. For me, the setting is off. We already know what happens within the entire storyline here. If they went on way before Arena and developed a completely different story about things we never knew about, 5,000 years back, that would have been different. It's too soon. It will be interesting to see if anything new comes out at E3 with this, but as of right now, all it looks like is a money grab for subscription revenue based on the amount of gametime we spend in their single player games.

You know, setting aside the success of the previous format and looking at the Elder Scrolls lore alone I'm still excited enough to play this for a month or two when it releases. I'm getting an ominous flashback to Fallout: Tactics, and Brotherhood of Steel though. Non-fallout games in the Fallout universe didn't work, it wouldn't be surprising if the same held true for the Elder Scrolls series.

Let's not forget that Bethesda released Battlespire and Redguard, which despite being fairly good games (I hear, never played them) almost drove the company into bankruptcy and the salvation of the company was... Morrowind.

God drat it. All they had to do was add co-op to Skyrim, yet they even manage to gently caress that up and basically make a WoW clone from what we know so far. I mean, no realtime combat due to lag? They're not even trying, are they?

Morrowind. Redgaurd wasn't bad it was just a very limited experience compared to other TES games. No character creation, you're a specific pre-defined character involved in a specific plot that you are more or less confined to, and the whole game takes place on one small island with one small town. It just didn't have the freedom and exploration of other TES games and the gameplay was much more limited, and it was also billed as an adventure game not an RPG so it didn't really appeal much to fans of Daggerfall (where you had an incredibly massive world to explore)

I'm intrigued to see how they go with this. Is the opposite of cautiously optimistic nervously pessimistic? Because if so, that's where I am! TES has succeeded because they deliver something no other game delivers- a wide open sandbox with a sensible leveling system and questlines that are more like guidelines, but not actually 'YOU MUST DO THIS NOW'. It will NOT succeed with the normal TES fan because it strips everything that makes TES out. It will have to succeed with us on its own merits. And I doubt that it will do so. Still, it is the first MMO I am considering getting into, because I love Tamriel.

No matter how much you love TES as a setting, remember Dragonbreak is already a concept, it breaks canon by not allowing you to play as CHIM and realize there's literally nothing to get from this game because it will end up being an extremely generic fantasy game.

I wonder if by the next decade MMO designers will get over the basic EQ/WoW gameplay model. Such a shame they are trying nothing new here. Why does it look so bad though? Bethesda isn't known for their amazing art design but Morrowind and some elements like the Daedra were more interesting. While this looks really bad like worse than TOR and so drat generic. It actually looks a lot like EQ2 except maybe a bit more generic.

Why would they put any resources toward this? Even if it is a different studio and resources, they are still piling money into it. Bethesda are the KINGS of single player RPGs, yet now they are joining the ranks of every other "me-too" publisher who churns out the same generic grinding garbage that focuses on keeping players playing, not immersive, polished, personal narratives, which Bethesda does like no one else.

This is literally the worst idea for a game ever. That having been said, I kind of look forward to it. For one, I'm a lore-fag when it comes to Elder Scrolls. The idea of three faction realm vs realm PvP is really awesome, as was Dark Age of Camelot.

"Lets take our fantastically received single player RPG, rip out everything unique, cram it onto an engine only useful for making basic WoW clones, make it fully voice acted and shove in a bunch of MMO filler" Did they seriously look at ToR and think it was a good idea? This is a 2007 idea announced in 2012. No Thanks.

Given that even at the official forums the reception is pretty negative for this huge multi-multi-multi-million dollar project, I can only imagine somewhere at Zenimax studios the exec who insisted this was a 'sure hit' idea is standing on his windowsill, lower lip quivering every so slightly. EDIT: Also, wait until people realize that all those scrolls and books are fixed geometry and can't be hoarded.

There is very little information, actually pretty much no information, out about this and people are already quick to bury it. The potential for this is threw the roof if you ask me. I'm incredibly excited and hopefully about this. The only knowledge of an MMO you need to make a fairly accurate prediction that it will fail is the fact that it is not Everquest or World of Warcraft.

Want to make a good TES MMO? Easy. You take Ultima Online... - Make it first person - Make it 3D (optional) - Remove all the retarded lonely 13 year old's fanfiction lore - Insert awesome lore - Make Advanced your only class option, add in cat people and all that other poo poo - SHIP IT. Tada.

This is all shaping up to be like when that kinda weird kid in your class, who's only gone to a few of the discussions, comes in super late on the last day and hands in a crumpled, too-short, not-even-stapled term paper. The professor has to get all quietly exasperated, and tell the kid (but everyone can hear) that he should just finish it up over the next week and hand it in late. Topping it off, it's kinda painfully clear that the kid only half-realizes what's wrong with the whole situation.
