Couple questions about Multiplayer

Post » Sun Sep 25, 2011 2:12 am

If this forum is any indication of what the wiki will look like, I want to never visit it. I'm sure there will be a bunch of cool gamers contributing, but I'm just not interested in incessant semantics. (Love the read to 'em when I'm stuck though!)

Does this game have multiplayer or can you just be alone? Just need a couple settings like 'NPCs killable by client' toggle and 'quest completion applies to all residents' toggle to make it fun. But I'm wondering if another player could take control of a wolf, bone monster, or the main warrior guy or something over a home wired or office wifi network (with 2 purchased copies for DRM over steam).

Also, are there any custom mods in progress? Can add copyrighted music to the game (assuming the user has already purchased the music files into their PC; else normal music continues)? I plan on playing this with my Pops, and I don't want him to hear the crappy music I like when he has his 250+versions of the christmas tune Sleighride going.

Also, Bethesda, I really wished you would have disk-in-drive DVD/Bluray DRM. It's getting really annoying when I go to post online http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amo5r4DR7cI, that I have to lose my save game and re-register my account from email. Can you upgrade the security systems like those superfan hacker dudes asked?

There won't be ANY option for multiplayer, not even co-op. Personal feelings aside (I hate multiplayer...) there's an official thread where you can post your thoughts and feelings on the matter :)

Skyrim will have no multiplayer component. If you'd like to discuss multiplayer possibilities and thoughts please use the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1119156-official-tes-multiplayerco-op-thread/ in the Elder Scrolls Series forum. We also have a centralized thread for all http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1232464-unofficial-steamdrm-discussion/.

As for modding, like TES IV, TES III, and FO3 gamers will have access to the developer's tool kit. There are some things that are hard coded and can't be altered, but it will allow gamers considerable freedom to make mods. I suspect adding new music will be an option. We don't know the specifics, and it hasn't been released in advance of the game so any mod projects currently in developement are kept in the planning stage.

The editor is called the Creation Engine if you want to look up more information on it. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1227165-the-new-construction-kit/ is a good active thread on the Creation Engine - it isn't a thread restricted topic like multiplayer or DRM, but it does have some dev comments in it.
