Keeping my Sanity

The only thing that could make this game be anything but win after win (requiring at least 50 internets to each designer) is if it were an MMO. If it were, i'd have to choke myself on my ES4 special eidtion coin ;-;

This should help you keep your sanity:
- Just because it is a continuation of a long running and much loved series, there is no guarantee that the game play will live up to your vision of its potential. In my own experience, Oblivion was a flat out dud compared to Morrowind. Played Morrowind for about 5 years and Oblivion maybe 5 weeks (that ended in disappointment).
- An MMO version of the game would be similar only in lore with game mechanics so vastly different you'd never guess it was a TES game by its features.

MMO of TES would be lore only and wouldn't feel nothing like a TES game. Keep dreaming.

I don't think it would make a good feature, but an alternative download with the ability to play against friends and storm dungeons with them would be.......... :D

I can tell you it will NOT be an MMO. Bethesda would not make an MMO, that's up to Zenimax Online Studios to make it.

Off Topic: I was the exact opposite with Morrowind. You almost HAD to choose agility and endurance as your main skills or you would die instantly and would never be able to hit anybody. Even on the easiest difficulty Morrowind was extremely difficult. One time a MUDCRAB nearly killed me and I had a weapon that could do 10 damage. The ridiculous ability to NOT hit somebody even if you connected the hit was annoying.

Morrowind is only hard for total newbies. Once you get a hang of it you realize it's one of the easiest games ever made.

And that's a fault of the game. The perfect game is easy to get into but very hard to master. Morrowind is difficult to get into and easy to master.

Well, Morrowind certainly had its own problems (if you thought lvling up a melee fighter was hard, try doing it for a wizard with no mana regeneration) but I found the experience as a whole was orders of magnitude better than Oblivion.
