I'm sorry but the game industry is moving forward. If you wish to stay anchored unless an act of God comes down to impress you about a video game, you might be a bit too attached. There will be no shortage of single player TES games prior or post Elder Scrolls Online's release. So either stay put there, which is fine, or go with the flow rather than instantly condemn (which you are doing) a game you know less than 1% about.

Not wanting to play it because it's an MMO is fine, MMOs aren't for everyone (myself included), but screaming it's not a TES game because it's an MMO is absurd.

I second this. I want bethesda to tell us everything will be ok.

Or... y'know, they were talking about just Bethesda.



So... you want Bethesda to treat you like a little child? Give you a pat on the head and a cookie for picking up a controller?

Agree. Todd please tell us that everything will be ok.

I know what they were talking about. But that is exactly my point- they just omitted certain information, and inferred that something that DID happen will never happen. Therefore, I can't trust anything they say about a future single player Elder Scrolls because they now have a track record of basically lying about very important game information.

Lol, think we could start a petition on the subject? Im not against the mmo. I just want bethesda's word on how well they have represented the elder scrolls.

Coming from the Fallout forums it's quite alien to see Todd getting praise. Has hell frozen over or something?

Well it certainly does not make me think TES when you say MMO in the same sentence. If the games industry is moving forward then I think I'd much prefer staying where I am. Most new games just don't cut it for me

I am not condeming it. I am saying that from what I see it looks terrible (to me). I feel this is a bad thing for the TES franchise in general. Now that opinion may change in time given more information it is early days. But I find it highly unlikely.

There's Dunmer on the starboard bow

You might want to peruse the actual interviews and see exactly what was said. Because right now it sounds an awful lot like the lot of you feel as if Bethesda was a parent who lied to you about Sanata Claus and now you can "never trust them again."

He may be a troll, but he knows best what is happening to elder scrolls.

This. Seems to me like most people are writing it off without substantial evidence to prove it'll be a bust... Come on, guys, give it a chance!

WoW isn't considered a warcraft game by many because it is so far departed from warcraft world lore and gameplay. They're nothing alike.

You think in Warcraft 4 is going to be Horde vs Alliance? That druids and warlocks are going to get along? Not a chance. WoW has so bastardized the canon that they only way to continue the Warcraft story is to forget that WoW ever happened, put it so far out of time that none of the events are relevant, and never mention it again.

The "unlikely alliances" in the trailer already puts the taste of [censored] in my mouth, and its only the beginning. You can call this a TES game, but when they have to place the game a thousand years out of time from every other TES game, haha, thats like Todd Howard even saying that its not a TES game.


Lets not forget warhammer online.
You think Games Workshop is going to include that in their halls of glory? That stain will deservedly be whitewashed off the walls, the pages ripped from their history and burned.

Sorry but i personally am AGAINST the mmo, which i feel has violated every virtue we hold dear from the Elder Scrolls series.
My wish was for Todd to come out and say "Guys relax!! There will be a single player TES, just not so soon of course".

That is all i ask. Someone official from Bethesda.

I wouldnt call a 10 page review a handful of screenshots though.

You'll get stopped right there criminal scum if you try and start a petition.

Well we just want to see the overlord is still alive!

I'll never trust a single human being again! But seriously I think I've lost faith in any company actually caring about the lies they tell.

Agree with this completely. Unless some momumental, and I mean huuuuge something comes along and changes my mind. All the signs so far have been bad though in my opinion
Edit: Oops sorry for the double post multi quote went wrong

This is going to be bad for everyone I can feel it.

Do you want them to dry your tears for you as well? Maybe give you some free DLC for upsetting you so much?

Do you have a link to said review? I'll believe it when I see it.

Lol, I feel it has violated things too which is why I so strongly want to hear something.
I am not against an mmo, I am not against this mmo,
What I am against is the threat this mmo is posing right now.

I cant tell them to cancel it and I wont, but I do feel some damage control is in order.

Well, considering how secretive Bethesda are about stuff I think I'm going to enjoy the fear and paranoia already displaying itself here.
Seriously though, I wouldn't hold my breath for Todd to say anything for maybe a month or so.

Rename TESO into "mythic lands" everyones happy, graphics DO NOT look like TES, but more like Runescape

It's not a wow clone.

That's just being antagonistic. A lot of people, myself included are very upset about this direction for the elder scrolls. If you had seen the threads about multiplayer you'd understand that there are strong opinions.
