"It's actually an MMO...with monthly fees"

I would only not play a TES game if it didn't allow custom classes. Not happening anytime soon or maybe even ever.

haaaaa nice reference

No 3rd person view.

It has been confirmed now, but earlier this was a real fear of mine. Especially since many pundits wrote that "3rd person should either be vastly improved or scrapped all together".

Otherwise, I can't think of anything as long as they stick to large open worlds with lots of dungeons, factions and side quests.

:lmao:

There is only one thing that could possibly stop me and that is an ultimatum from my wife. I would be cross with her for a while but I would definitely choose her over any video game. Luckily for me she'll be playing it too.

You've gotten yourself an awesum wife :thumbsup:

If there was graphic gore with no options I wouldn't want to play without mods to disable it.

No.

Even if it was horrible, I would still play it, just so I could critique it.

If they turn it into an action game god of war ripoff. Or if I see any manga-style combat moves or hair.

If the next big announcement is about it no longer being an open world and instead follows a linear FPS-like plot.

No playable khajiits or a third person camera. Both have been in not so many words confirmed, so no, nothing

Seeing as the modding tools are confirmed, there's just one item on my list left:

If it requires third-party overloaded always-running-in-the-background DRM crap like Steam or GFWL. This stuff being optional (like GFWL was in Fallout 3) for those who like it and not actually required to play the game I can live with.

The only things I can think of are:

• The game being smaller than Morrowind (I would like it to be bigger than Oblivion, but if done right I wouldn't mind a game as small as Morrowind was... technically.)
  
• The game becoming entirely action-based, with no emphasis on skill whatsoever or leveling up. (We already know that isn't the case, though.)
  
• Bethesda not being the developer. (Ditto.)
  
• A complete lack of lore, culture, or interesting setting.
  
• The game no longer being an open world game.

So barring numbers 1, 4, and 5, all of which are incredibly improbable as I see it, this game is a day one purchase and preorder for me.



Only if she wore the catsuit, in my case. I'm weird.

They are? Not that i was worried, but :celebration:

If it was a dragonball-Z inspired on-rails shoot-em-up

Amen to that.

Wo there...lets not talk crazy now.

Me and 42 of my buddies "say" (granted some of us might be "lying") we wont' buy it if it requires Steam like FONV did. Check my sig for the links to the survey and the responses. Apart from that, I can think of nothing that would stop me from buying and playing it!



There were also two previous polls on here that maxed out in length which indicated similar patterns.

Yes,guns and dragon-mounts. :thumbsdown:

Having awful modability. I am going to wait for the mod tools anyway before buying.

I can think of lots of things I really would hate, but even if all of them were in, I'd still probably buy the game - if only because a game that gets it that wrong after having predecessors which are that good will be a thing to behold. Kind of like car crash gaming; it's horrific but you just can't look away

A Mandatory hardcoe mode would be the only thing that would turn me off from the game.

I actually feel quite powerless when it comes to the Elder Scrolls games. I must have them!
I started playing Oblivion back in early 2007, and since then I've just bought every Elder Scrolls game except Redguard (bought Oblivion twice: GOTY for my PC, and Vanilla + Shivering Isles for my 360).
It scares me a bit knowing that because I've liked all Bethesda's other games so much, I'm going to buy Skyrim even if they release it as a remake of Pong.
But I suppose you could say they've earned my loyalty. If I've liked everything they've made so far (except the bloody horse armour thing, that was ridiculous :lmao: ), then I expect they won't dissapoint me now.

Also, I know I won't be dissapointed after looking at the GI screens. :drool:

tl:dr: No, nothing will stop me from playing this game. :tongue:

Nope. I'm in.
