The Elder Scrolls: Online is irrelevant to me. If it is a flop, it is a flop by a company hardly related to Bethesda. If it succeeds, I may buy into it then.

In 4-6 years, The Elder Scrolls VI will be released. I am confident that, given the massive leap from Morrowind/Oblivion in Skyrim, it will be epic, dynamic, immersive, and addicting.

I do not care about The Elder Scrolls: Online, because it will not interrupt the development of single-player titles in the slightest.

I do not care about The Elder Scrolls: Online, because it does not concern me. The only fans it concerns at the moment are those who have been awaiting an MMO, and are wary not because of what the MMO will do to the franchise, but because the MMO will be a flop. Even still, the amount of speculation and jumped conclusions among that population is quite shocking.

There really shouldn't be threads judging whether or not the MMO will be good, because we don't know a fraction of the amount of knowledge we need to judge the game.

Unless you were looking forward to the MMO and are worried about it, or have some infatuation with some 50-100 years of Second Era lore, then you really don't have a reason to complain, because it won't affect you for the same reason I don't judge the first Star Wars movies off of the Force Unleashed II.

Just feelin the need to come on the Elder Scrolls: Online forums to
make that clear are we?
You can come out of the closet. Dude. It's not wrong to care.

Ok.

Thread lock?

Nah. I just find it a little odd that a portion of the Elder Scrolls fanbase feels the need to flame one of the few honest, legitimate, dedicated companies out there because they're afraid of a few new ideas.

Which thread should be locked, the thread that flames without basis or the thread that tries to stop flaming without basis?

Maybe what we saw is enough to know that we should be worried. That's not blind judging, the criticism is legitimated by our expectations. If you were going to sleep with a woman and you see that her legs are hairy, you are entitled to be alarmed and think twice about doing it.

Except I wouldn't give up just because some people said she looked like a gorilla. People mostly hate it because they think it is a WoW-clone. It has hotbar-based combat, instances loosely similar to WoW, and halfway cartoony graphics. Not enough basis for that claim. And even, what makes WoW bad isn't the basic gameplay ideas but poor implementation (mainly grinding).

Clearly. That's why you wanted to post about it the Bethesda Forums. Your actions speak louder than your words. This is a pointless thread.

If you don't care about TES online, then posting about it is rather pointless.

I hope you find forums you enjoy, for a game you care about.
