LOL good call. So much knee-jerking going on in this forum lately it is kinda sad. I wonder if these folks have ever enjoyed a game that wasn't Morrowind? :whistling:

I personally wouldn't mind it. The RDR model was pretty good actually.

Man, the idea that something could be even, somewhat, maybe, possibly, remotely related to multiplayer of any sort, and some people go completely nuts. I wonder if some even read the entire opening post.

Anyways, it would be nice if you got some cosmetic items for completing Bethesda's challenge of the week/month. It would be near to unlock different variants of the same armor, like a more regal steel design or a darker leather design, for doing certain activities and unlocking achievements. However I don't see Bethesda doing this, seems like it would take time out of production on other projects. I don't think I'd even use it honestly, whenever I played GTA4 I try to skip the Social Club stuff as quickly as possible; I'd hate to give the TES Social Club (Or Mead Hall) the same treatment, THEN have everyone else give it the same treatment and then we are stuck with this feature that noone really uses that could have been used for something else that people would have used.

I like the idea, but if Bethesda already has a complete list of what is going to be worked on/implemented, I'd rather they focus on what they think should go in.

To avoid the "wall of text" I was planning, I will just provide my bottom line:

I can understand why some may want to have this feature, however, I do not want it for Skyrim.

The DLC approach to gaming reminds me of an old Dave Clark Five tune, "Bits and Pieces."

As for all the big NO!s from our xenomorph friend let me say one thing... NO! I do not want a social club, grand theft auto 4's social club is the most disgusting thing i have seen in all gaming history, its intrusive as [censored] and adds itself to your startup as default, it keeps spamming "Do you want to update" until you end the process. and jesus christ NO! NO SOCIAL CLUBS!!! NEVER EVER!!! SCREW THAT!!!! if they'd do that to me, i'd out of disrespect pirate the game for what awful thing they had done to it.

But i'm not worried tho this wont happen :celebration: in bethesda we trust! our social network is our social community which would be These forums and the modding community.

Not sure I get what the social club is supposed to mean, but if you talk about some website/xbox live/PSN where you share your "achievements" I can't see any reason not to have. As long as you don't have to use it.

Dang! I thought you meant some sort of in-game club. No out-of-game links please, but something like a hunter's lodge where you could drink, listen to stories, and have the heads of exceptional creatures mounted and hung as trophies could be fun.

that would be fun but he's talking about something like this : http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/

basically intrusive software that will ask you to update your game constantly and nag you about it until you eventually say yes, multiplayer leaderboards and stuff like that and something that starts every time you turn on your game.. its basically a 300% worse version of steam for 1 game instead of many games.
