patd1287 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 After playing the heck out of Champions of Norrath and playing Morrowind after, i pondered: could Morrowind work online? It is a true roleplaying game in which you are alone and have to fend for yourself, but the thought of explorong its massive world with my buddies is most certainly a thought to entertain....What'r you guys thoughts on this?

Pack Rat Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 We've had dozens of these threads before, m8. So I'm afraid your thread is -> :rip: . Anyway, It wouldnt be possible, not as long as bethesda creates adjustments. Like preventing long players to attack newbies. It would be a nice place to play tho.

patd1287 Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 Well, balancing issues are certainly a problem, but if the developers take their time(which would be much to our dismay-but it would be worth it) they could create a potentially great package of classic, fun role-playing, and a great online experience. Balancing is difficult, but not completely out of the question. Games such as Diablo have level restrictions, this could certainly help, and anyways, being a noob is a part of the game, they would get good eventually.

cmac Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Well, balancing issues are certainly a problem This is true, but newbies to the game level up quickly. With the availability of equipment in Morrowind, it would be no time at all before the PC could forumlate a formidable character. Balancing is difficultIt depends on the method of balancing utilized. If, as in Diablo, higher-level items are disallowed until a certain level is attained, what makes the low-level characters better (namely, artifacts) could potentially be disallowed until much later in the game. But, with more than one player fighting for your side, with human intelligence (suually better than the Morrowind AI) then a balanced game would not be much of an issue. but if the developers take their time(which would be much to our dismay-but it would be worth it)Morrowind was 2 years in the production- TES IV or any further expansion could take even longer, especially if the data conversion to a multiplayer RPG is used. being a noob is a part of the game, they would get good eventually.Quite true. New characters could always aviod certain challenges that they know are beyond them. And it's no fun to instantly start the game with an experienced character. A further issue might be quests- mostly the House quests. How could more than one charcter cuild their own manor if there are other players occupying it? Unless all manor cells were unique to the player, that might be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patd1287 Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 All good points Cmac, but this manor problem could easily be remedied, im sure the developers could make it so that they are seperate, for one player at a time(almost like items boxes in Diablo-but giant manors instead haha). Maybe thats a little far fetched but hey im just brainstorming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patd1287 Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 Basically it comes down to- what are your opinion of online rpg's in general? Do you think they ruin the whole purpouse of the role-playing gender? I really dont think they do, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think, that online could petentially add another demension to Morrowind that would worth houuuuuurs of fun. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Rat Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 you might just use some kind of "invite" feature for the manor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
