Todd Howard on multiplayer : Othor Games

Everyone at Bethesda knew that their parent company was working on fhis for three or four years yet they said stuff like that to the press and fans for years.

The thing that is funny is they were all secretive about a game with no real groundbreaking features. No big deal. Its interface is like wow and the gameplay is like DAOC or Guild Wars 2.

Agreed. I'm not too bothered about the development of such a game per se, as I have no interest at all in playing a franchised MMO*, but I am a bit worried about the possible impact on lore, general flavour, and fanbase expectations for future games.

(*It seems to me that most MMOs based upon existing IPs succeed only in "cheapening" their predecessors- much in the same way other people might feel a good book is "ruined" by a poorly executed - if well intentioned - film adaption. I may sound petty saying this, but it's my honest opinion.)

The impact it will have on the lore. I fear that, too. This will be the first MMO I'll buy, and I'll do it because it is set in a world familiar to me. I've never played an MMO and liked it. It seems this kind of games aren't for me.

I agree. That's how things are, most of the time.

There is something seriously wrong! Brainwashing, Abduction, replaced with an evil clone?

There is no other explanation then this. I cannot believe that Todd would allow to change the Elder Scroll Sandbox-Game-Style into a WoW-Theme-Park Clone. Since the Hero Engine produces 100% WoW Clones - all of them cheap and mediocre at best - there is no other possible outcome(just look at http://www.heroengine.com/spotlights/faxion-online/...).

Are you still alive todd? What happened do you? I just can't believe that you would give your belief and your crown juwels so easy away.

The game is not a 100% WoW clone, and todd and his crew aren't making it. This whole delimma has made TES fans look quite ignorant.
