I would hate having a MMO it is suposed to be single player. And i dont want it to be online and to have to pay.

1. I don't want to see an MMO.

2. You will never get an MMO.

3. Talk about online http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1085332-official-tes-multiplayer-thread/

:)

I want an MMO. I don't want V to be an MMO.

I wouldn't care, as it would be Zenimax Online Studios that would make and Elder Scrolls MMO, not Bethesda Game Studios.

We have a thread for multiplayer discussion: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1085332-official-tes-multiplayer-thread/

Bethesda Game Studios does not make MMOs for the hundredth time. Zeni Max Online does.



This isn't a discussion, its a Pole to see who wants an MMO of TES.

An MMO, even if it was made by Zeni Max, would take the spotlight away from TES series. You could basicaly say goodbye to TES, and expect only Fallout Games from Bethesda, because the Majority of people would be playing TES online.

Doesn't matter if it's a poll or no. All MMO oriented topics get redirected to the official thread.

Doomed Thread is Doomed.

I really don't see how a TES MMO from Zenimax Online would stop BGS from making TES V. Not all people like MMOs, plus, either Todd or Pete said that BGS won't stop making TES games.

:rofl: No respect for MMOs on this forum, eh.


The Majority of TES fans don't frequent these Forums. I have met a LOT of people who think TES should be an MMO. That would, of course, reduce sales of normal TES games.

I do have a second theory though. There is seemingly no way you could have TES' first person active combat and a lot of other system in an MMO. Therefore, it would just be your typical MMO and die in a few years. :woot:

How do you come to that conclusion? Do the people you know not still love TES as it is? I think as long as they weren't released side-by-side they wouldn't pull attention from each other.

EDIT: ninja'd.

What would stop people from buying TES Online and TES V? Especially if they weren't released side-by-side.

If they worked on V and an MMO at the same time, that means half their money and time went into another game. Meaning, V was literally half-assed.

I wouldn't buy it then.

But if an MMO was released after V, I would definatley consider it. But I don't think they should stop making games after the MMO.

Honestly, assuming ZeniOnline is actually working on an ES MMO, I don't know how they imagine it will be sustainably profitable. There are a lot of popular fantasy franchises that have come out with MMOs; they all come out of the gate strong but they dwindle and die when they finally hit the firmly cemented market dominance that is WoW. Blizsad tapped that niche first and expanded on it the best. They not only have leadership in the field, they've got the developmental and monetary advantage, they've pretty much hand-crafted the publicly-accepted standard for what an MMOis supposed to present to the world, and they've already got their mechanics very-well tweaked to what they want. I just don't believe that Blizzard can be foisted from their hotspot by any company trying to capitalize on their leftovers. There's a long trail of bones in that graveyard as a warning for those who would try.

Let alon the more traditional reasons to resist an MMO, that it removes by its nature all the things I find enjoyable about TES: Being the sole savior of the world, rising from nothing to demi-god status, being alone in a vast open world, roleplaying how I want without social consequence, even if it means my character is gimped, using mods to create the world as I want it, etc, etc.

If it didn't affect Beth's advancement with the main series, I probably wouldn't care too much, but somehow I don't believe things wouldn't cross over and murk up each other's waters.

I don't see how Zenimax Online working on a TES MMO while BGS would be working on TES V would affect the amount of money and time that BGS put into TES V. That's like saying that since id is making Rage, it takes money and time from Obsidian so Fallout New Vegas will be half-assed.

There's Bethesda Game Studios and ZeniMax Online. Two different game developers. Bethesda Game Studios would not be working on the online game.

EDIT: Damnit!

I ninja'd!

And not to be technical, but Bethesda Softworks doesn't make games, it publishes them. Bethesda Game Studios is the one that makes the games.

Why does it have to be Zenimax that works on an MMO?

MMO" tend to forget that a bulk of MMOs are med-evil, fantasy RPGs. It would pretty much keep TES from making any kind of impression. Then there's TES open world exploration, C&C, create any kind of character you want gameplay, which would be next to impossible on an MMO.

And on & on. So no thanks, no MMO TES, no matter who it's made by.

PS, there's a difference between Multiplayer and MMO and there really ought to be seperate threads for both.

So that Bethesda Game Studios can work on TES V.



Thanks.

What do they do when they're not making MMOs?

I'm mostly indifferent when it comes to the idea of a TES MMO.

I'm quite sure that I would never play it, but I don't have a problem with copious amounts of cash flowing into Zenimax' hands.

I would not mind, as long as it is good and not a total WoW knock-off.

Because BGS only makes single-player games. Plus if you go to the Zenimax Online website, it is described as the MMO branch for Bethesda Softworks. So any MMOs published by Bethesda, be it a WET MMO, a RAGE MMO, a TES MMO, etc, would almost certainly be made by Zenimax Online. I feel that they (ZO) are currently working on TES Online, because of all the context clues on their site, such as info in the FAQs, job openings, About, etc.

I don't necessarily want an MMO, but I think they should really consider having a co-op feature for online. Similar to how Saint's Row 2 or Borderlands, where you are invited into another player's game. Your actions in this world wouldn't affect your original game, however the items and XP you gain would transfer over. Oblivion is an amazing game on its own, but being able to dungeon crawl along with maybe 3 friends would be amazing.
