This must be the hundredth time I've seen you cut/paste this. I'm THIS close to being convinced you're a shill. You're in every thread. Saying the same generic things. Again and again.

Just a long time Elder Scrolls fan who is very much looking forward to this next epic installment

I've been a raving fan of this series since Daggerfall and I too am waiting for the next installment. This, however, isn't it. It's WOW with an Elder Scrolls skin. It has nothing to do with the gameplay of any Elder Scrolls game. Ever.

Technically this is the next installment of the Elder Scrolls series. Change is good. We needed this.

No this is a spin off, 100%.

Again, it's "technically" the next installment since it's an Elder Scrolls game regardless if it's a spinoff or not. Just like Battlespire. Just like Redguard. Just like Shadowkey. I count them all the same.

No one needs this. The irony is not even Beth/Zeni need this. Hahaha

Iant your just being a hateful and judging me just for playing on the 360 xbox. How about this if you want me to stop playing on the xbox I suggest that you BUY me a high end pc. If not stop judging me on my platform of choice.

So you too are waiting for TES VI?
Good to hear!

Speak for yourself.

Quote me next time since I've noticed your reply this time only by luck.

Anyway.
I'm not being hateful at all and am not judging you, just telling you the better option.
You just need to accept the fact that consoles are not for RPGs (consoles are mostly for casual games and RPGs are not casual by default), MMOs (similar case just like with RPGs, but also MMOs are technologically way too advanced for current generation consoles) and FPSs (this is mostly because of the controls).
This doesn't mean that consoles don't have their advantages over PCs, though!

Because a hotkey, class based game is automatically a WoW clone. There has never been a good hotkey class based game has there? Well except that one Dragon Age game but shhhhh

Why don't we stop jumping to the "WOW CLONEZ" conclusion until the beta comes out and we actually know enough to judge the game. And to be quite honest, it would be impossible to replicate The Elder Scrolls single player as an MMO. Too many skill combinations to balance and blend, you can't have that absolute freedom to murder anyone you want, a game with well-done, respawning instances > an MMO with a bunch of Skyrim-like, incredibly similar dungeons, etc.

TES:O could have done this. TES:O could have done that. But in the end, until at least the beta comes out we can't call it a WoW clone with any real basis.

A spin-off in every sense of the word. It won't remotely affect The Elder Scrolls VI, which is the next installment in the series.

Having first-person real-time combat in an MMO wouldn't be impossible. It would be difficult to have with features like 100v100 PvP, however. The question is, what would most players prefer: Elder Scrolls gameplay and mechanics but limited PvP and realm population with more of a diablo-esque public game/co-op feel, with perhaps high population cities; or tab-taget auto-attack with more players per realm?

Also, Dragon Age, whilst not a bad game, is basically ying to the Elder Scrolls yang. If that's what people want to see, why don't they create a new IP or buy the DA rights from EA/Bioware?
