Elder Scrolls going online?
Quote:
Hot on the heels of a massive investment from Providence Equity Partners in Bethesda-parent ZeniMax Media's newly opened MMO-focused studio, word has reached us that the company has registered the domain name elderscrollsonline.com, throwing some weight behind the idea that Bethesda's popular RPG franchise could someday finally break free from its single player shackles and frolic the n00b-infested waters of the MMO.
It's true that many have often referred to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion as an MMO without all the stupid. Still, the truth of the matter is that while we openly admit that The Elder Scrolls works well as a setting for an immersive single player experience, the world itself is nothing short of generic. The last thing the gaming world needs is yet another tepid swords and sorcery MMO, and the idea of having to lead an intricately armored horse to the pond to drink once a month seems more apt to turn our stomachs rather than our wallets.

That should be very cool. If they do make it,it'll be developed by Zenimax,so Bethesda could still work on Elder Scrolls V at the same time.

i agree with the source, this is a bad idea. Elder scrolls is perfect as it is.

I wouldn't mind having some multiplayer online, but if it will screw the game rating, then maybe they should hold on to it.

I agree. I don't know why soooo many gaming companies feel the need to go MMO. I was heavy into Lineage II until I realized what an incredible use of my time it was. I felt like I had played for 1/2 an hour when it had already been 3 hours. Give me the games with good plot and character development and I'll play them.

an mmo would be kinda pointless, but maybe if they made the game with system link to play the game with freinds. that would be pretty tight.

I agree. If you can just play with friends kind of thing, that'd be a blast! Not MMO, but co-op type of game?

I don't see why people see such a need to have online for games. The Elder Scrolls game series isn't an online or MMO series, it boasts excellent and deep offline stories and gameplay elements. I don't want it to be online just so whiners out there want it, I just want more single-player Elder Scrolls because that's what they do best.
