Oblivion Multiplayer Mod

Do you think it's possible? Do you think a Multiplayer mod will ever come out?
Do you want one to come out? Wouldn't that be just great? :celebration:

I hope Elder Scrolls V will have Multiplayer, don't you? :toughninja:

No, if I'd wanna play multiplayer I'd pick a game that was designed for it. And even if TES V will have multiplayer, I probably won't be using it. :shrug:

:facepalm:

I take it you've never seen any other threads here about multiplayer mods?

Try searching for Oblivion Online and Oblivion Reborn to see a list of reasons why not to have or want a multiplayer mod.

Having said that, if there were an RPG with the style of a TES game that offered pseudo-co-op multiplayer, with each player making up the members of a party similar to the concept found in other single player RPGs (KOTOR, FF, etc), with p2p password protected networking, possibly only LAN, to eliminate the need for dedicated servers, and game content designed to take advantage of the multiplayer party system (coining that if it's not done already), I'd probably give it a fair go.

If you mean multiplayer in any other sense, I'd show it the door.

Fact is, that while the above idea is very, very good if I say so myself, (:P), it will probably never happen. I wouldn't put it past Beth to release a TES MMORPG, seeing as they bought Zenimax (or whatever that company is) and that type of game seems to be popular, but that's the sort of thing I wouldn't touch with a 10' barge pole.

EDIT: Also, I'm anticipating a thread lock seeing as there's only supposed to be one multiplayer discussion thread, so in the spirit of all things childish:

In b4 lok. :P

EDIT 2: Aformentioned thread linked to in post below mine.

There is an Oblivion multiplayer mod. It's been at the 'barely fucntional' stage for quite sometime now.

The engine wasn't coded for multiplayer so I doubt we'll see anything truely playable for a very long time in reagrds to a mod.


As for Elder Scrolls V being multiplayer? No way.

Fortunately, Bethesda only make single player games. ESV will be single player.
Their sister studio Zenimax Online would handle any kind of multiplayer. As such any multiplayer game would be a spin off rather than a main game in the series.
