NO

Absolutely not. The day an MMO is released for TES, or even Fallout, will be the end of of this epic franchise.

Look at Blizzard. Diablo III was rumored to come out years ago, and so was Starcraft 2. Well, Blizzard hopped on the MMO bandwagon and made this game called World of Warcraft. You might have heard of it. It's supposedly a big deal. So much time and money was invested in WoW, that D3 and SC2 quickly became things of the past.

If Bethesda made a TES MMO, we'd never have another TES singleplayer game. If Fallout Online is made, then Bethesda will shift their attention and budget to that, thus putting TES VI on hiatus until further notice, possibly permanently.

Would it be awesome to travel all of Tamriel with friends? Yes, it would. The only problem is, MMO's are NOT story driven and you can't get immersed when an NPC is telling you, "Thank you *insert name,* for killing those spiders. Here, take this one and only bow from my armory. There's no other like it!" Yet, 300 people just did the exact same thing and got the exact same bow. Takes away the feeling that you're doing something epic.

I don't condone a TES MMO, but the only way it would work is if each race had it's own main story line(and started in their rightful province), and quests were randomly given. I dream of an MMO where a friend and I go to get a quest from an NPC, and we both have two entirely different quests. One where the reward I get is literally the only one of it's kind. This can be done. Diablo randomly generates dungeons and items. Ultima Online randomly generated items found on mobs. So the whole random quests and rewards can be done.

Also, like someone said, PvP would be horrible due to self crafted enchanted items.

So, in short, no

no

SKYRIM, as an MMO?



HELL NO!


The last thing I want is for SP games to contract the festering disease known as '1337n355'; this ailment has neither treatment nor cure, and has infected almost every major title out there in the last ten years, with a 100% casualty rate, and needs to be kept as far away from games like Skyrim as possible.

there should be 2 options mmo, and single player that way everyone can do what they want, it would make ana amazing mmo tho

No.

No, but It would be one hell of an mmo though if there was one modeled like a TES game, being realistic and depth/detail/good AI.

Given the choice of TES mmo over regular TES, absolutely no, but if another mmo company wanted to incorporate everything TES does right into an mmo or even have it based on the same lore too then hell yes!
I like mmo's for different reasons, but it would sweet if those reasons decided to overlap into one epic game.

Yes and no. But without the yes.

if there were 2 options why would it matter? it would be awesome just have the version now and add MMO and it would be incredible, theyd get a lot more sales too

Hopefully, someday soon someone will throw you off the Direnni Tower.

Absolutely not. Having hundreds and thousands of other Dragonborns running around would positively kill the storyline.

I'm the hero of this game, and it's my own world to adventure in- I'm not sharing.

the fan boys really are raging,
do i want a skyrim mmo? no
do i want a elderscrolls mmo? yes imagine all of Nirn at your disposal with a few friends you could fight dragons in skyrim, skooma smugglers in elsweyr or fight for the resistance in hammerfell

Hell [censored] no.

MMO like WoW ? no thx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY_cWTBklkY lol

NO MMO'S ARE THE BANE OF MANKIND.

No. It would take tons of resources away from developing the single player game. You would end up with a mediocre version of both. PLus, there are tons of MMOs out there. The Elder Scrolls is the greatest single player game experience available. We need to keep it.

that would be incredible, not sure they could do it on 360 tho, hopefully the nest 1

Lot to sacrifice if they do go MMO
Like they would have to give up that experience that makes it feel like it's all about you, your that hero everyone depends on, now it'd be about everyone
I think it could be interesting... but they'd have to continue the single-player version too

if it took away from single player yea that would svck, but if it didnt and there were 2 options it would be cool(i realize basically impossible),i feel like people just dont want it at all even if it didnt effect the single player at all

MMO? No, it wouldn't feel right.

Co-op Multiplayer? HELL YES. Nothing would be more fun then to have one of your buddies hop into your world to smash some dragons together. Oblivion had a shaky mod for multiplayer, but it had a lot of issues. Hopefully we can get something down the road.

no, ....just NO

Hell [censored] [censored] no.

[censored] that. I hate MMO's.

NO

NO!

No thanks. I kinda like the solitude.
Got games like WoW for that.
