araashan Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I don't think Bethesda would make it an MMO. The MMORPG market is already overflooded by tons of games, all of them trying to steal WoW's playerbase. TES fans, on the other hand, are very loyal, and will buy TES V even if they're playing Wow or other games like that. What makes games like Oblivion or Morrowind unique is the sandbox aspect, while keeping it single player, therefore, the player has an actual impact on the world. Actually, they're the only game where I feel my character really is the most powerful person in the world, because the only thing that can stop me are engine limitations. The fact that TES is friendly to modders helps too. You want to live in a farm in one of the little villages? No problem, you can build on in the CS. That's the sort of things that make TES unique, and Bethesda knows it. I don't think they'd throw this away. I'm only afraid of the day when they will have made a game for each province, where will the next one be? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWAGrenth Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I wouldn't think bad of TES if the new one became a MMORPG but as long as it has a single player version as well, this will compensate for the Single RPG player and the MMORPG players.

NAPALM13092 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I say screw the whole MMO idea and make it 4 player coop so if your budies have the same mods you can play together and each player has an impact on the host world kinda like Fable 2 but without the cartoony graphics and lame story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exanimis Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I played every final fantasy game from I to X-2. Dragon warrior, Xenosaga, Star Ocean, you name it and I played it if it was an RPG. I think FFXI was the first to go online, I don't know for sure but that's when I quit playing them, I never played FFXI. I've played a few MMO's and as an older player, I find it a miserable experiance. People go online in those games just for the chance to piss someone off, to flame and start arguments, not everyone but enough. I've actually had long conversations with people only for them to suddenly tell me that they don't want to be friends with someone that old. I've had people ask me "Aren't you too old to be here?" As if having fun were restricted to only the young. Oblivion is the first PC game I've found that's worth playing and if Bethesda makes the next game an MMO, then I'll still have my Oblivion and the CS and I'll just mod new things into it.

ClydeBaneheart Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 A big hell no to going mmo. However, as was mentioned before, a limited multiplayer (kinda like the Diablo series) would be FANTASTIC, but don't fool with the game itself to make it multiplayer... I think you get what I'm trying to say here. And, my personal challenge would be for them to render ALL of Tamriel. Oblivion, but bigger; much bigger. Oh, and give Vista some love!!! I'm running 64-bit Vista, and I'm telling you, I feel like I'm driving a toaster through a car wash with the damn thing! Oh, and my problem with MMOs is not that there are 10,000 other 'heroes,' but that there is as many Mehrunes Dagon's as are needed to give EVERYONE a chance at it. If Beth did an MMO of Oblivion, they need to take a few lessons from CCP's EVE Online to preserve the 'I Matter' feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAPALM13092 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Exactly a mmo would murder the game i just want a 4 player coop that still allows modding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
