Though The Elder Scrolls is a close-to-perfect and loved franchise I have an idea that will only benefit the player's experience and cost little effort on the development standpoint. My idea is to add a Co-operative function to Skyrim and include it in later Elder Scrolls games. This had porbably been suggested before, but just hear me out. This would take a bit of work to set up some co-op functions and menu changes but the payoff would probably be well recieved. The Elder Scrolls had always been a great RPG and reciently been a more engrossing experience. It would be so easy to add a little Co-op function and let it run wild in mods and such ( I dont know if you can just make a co-op mod but I'd assume not since it sound like it would be more complex). Think about it, the groundwork and the whole world is already laid out, now all you would have to do is throw in some other side quest chains and tie up loose ends with conflicting story plots and your good! You could even put in a seperate Co-op main story plot if Bethesda gets commited. I'm just saying it sounds silly to have this massive world and no one to play it with when it is so easy to add that function in.
Thanks!

Oops, wrong thread

No thank you. Just axes development time from things that are worth a damn.

Keep TES single player.

With like pigeons in them?

Easy??? No, it would be incredibly difficult to do that. Especially if people also used mods. (everyone would need to use the same mods)

TES games are single player. And most TES fans are happy with that

Co-op would detract from the experience

Just-
Just no.
It would take most of the development time to add multiplayer to the game and would detract from what the game is about.

I get a kick out of people thinking that implementing co-op in a game of this magnitude would be easy. So, so far from the truth.

However, if done right, would be absolutely amazing.

Don't we already have a thread on Skyrim co-op?
Now, OP, I understand, threads go down the list like lightning, and you might have not seen the other thread before creating this one.

These threads are the new, "DLC to cintinuz pazt da maen qyzt plaez." That we see in the Fallout: New Vegas boards.

NO CO-OP PLEASE!

Not gonna happen, Broseidon.

First time I read the title of the tread I thought it said, Skyrim Coup needed. I was like hell yeah, get rid of Ulfric! Let me be leader of the Stormcloaks and then King!

Oh wait...that actually says "Skyrim Coop." Darn it.

No co-op

Not now

Not ever

Keep TES single player!

No, it wouldn't be easy. The game engine was built from the ground up for single player. There is no "easy" way to slap co-op or multiplayer code in the game. There is another studio that is working on a multiplayer something. Hopefully they'll release some information about it.
