Hi people of hope and dreams. I played Oblivion. The best game I ever played so far so big thanks to Bethesda for that. Oblivion was CLOSE to the perfect game at the time imo.
The only "major" thing that was missing in the game imo was more "epic" monsters (Bigger, harder, unic, rare, cool and that needed strategic moves to take down) AND one more thing. A multiplayer function.
And no, I'm not talking about a mmo/online function. I'm talking about, maybe a maximum of 5 players on LAN function.

Thats what i feel was missing in Oblivion for it to be the absolute perfect game. And now with Skyrim, it seems like there is deffinatly gonna be more "Epic" monsters/creatures. So only one thing remains .
PLEASE, make it so that I can sit on a LAN with maybe 2 friends. The three friends. the Mage, Warrior and the Ranger. Together slaying a dragon, or fighting crimes or maybe even commiting them.
Man its really my dream, to fight an actually flying dragon with the perfect combat style (without target crap wow/rift/gw style) of Elder scrolls.

And yes, i know that it would be alot of work to make quests, story and interface stuff work with a multiplayer function. And if thats not an option, Fine. Then i'm perfectly happy if i'm just able to run around
in the wonderful enviroment of skyrim with a friend or two, fighting a few monsters or exploring a dungeon.

Thank you Bethesda for listening. I hope you respond. Have a great summer and keep up the great work.

Confirmed no.

They've already said they won't be doing multiplayer of any kind and aren't about to change their mind 6 months out from release.

Not gonna happen, they've already confirmed it.

And it can be further discussed in http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1119156-official-tes-multiplayerco-op-thread/

Thats why i'm saying please

We have an official thread for this

Alois put the link

You can always play Fable if you want LAN so bad. Or WoW.

TES is a single player game. Has been, and will always be.

and... yeah we have an official thread for this. Read the forum rules, OP, before you start a thread.

Not if you take into account Battlespire, but in fairness that Multiplayer kinda svcked.

Well, no-one does

I agree, Oblivion's monsters were okay but they did not have alot, only a handful and most were easy to kill once past level 15.

Well actually tes is my solo game for multi playin' I do WoW, when I am not in the mood for multi playin' i often play TeS like games.

Actually, I am going to go against my instincts and agree with the OP.

Reason being? What he is essentially suggesting is being able to play with only one friend at a time. An activity that several dozen games from my youth did really well, before this multicomputer multiplayer bullcrap came along.

However, OP, I'm sorry to say that although that feature would be absolutely superb, it will never be in an Elder Scrolls game. From one extra LAN computer, the multiplayer will expand to 4, then 8, then 16, then 32 and up and up, and rather than getting an excellent single player experience, TES will become a franchise with an average to poor single player experience and an average to great multiplayer one, and that would really damage the game for me. I'd rather not be able to play with friends in the same game but want the feature very much than get it and find it leads to a game that I don't enjoy.

How's about, you go and buy one of the trillions of MMOPRG's getting around. I wish people would just accept this game isn't a complete and utter clone of every other beige "RPG" getting around.

Whoa there, buddy. We don't know that for sure. Definitely not in Skyrim but who knows what the future holds?

It'd certainly be awesome to play with even one more player in a LAN setting in a future ES game.

I wouldn't be against another multiplayer spin off, like Battlespire only done properly.
