Would you promote older titles as side content?

Simply put, would you like to see the 90's titles of the Elder Scrolls on the same disc you get ESO?

Perhaps some of the newer titles?

This is a suggestion brought up by the age of gamer's, and more to the fact of Console-only Gamer's ( Who have never played the title's )

It is in no doubt possible, but would Bethesda agree to such a thing?

Well, they already give Arena and Daggerfall away for free as downloads, so the only reason against it is that it's not really worth the effort to port them to run on consoles. Of course, that's the reason that I have to vote "no".

Agree with Xover's point.

Also, while I dearly love Morrowind, technology has advanced a lot in the past 10 years and its outdated graphics and less sophisticated combat will almost certainly fail to impress many gamers. The same applies to Oblivion to a lesser extent.

The only people I can imagine wanting to play them are non-TES fans who buy ESO, really get into its lore in a big and want to visit the earlier games to experience more of that first-hand. Those games can be picked up quite cheaply from various places (eg. Steam).

Could also have a negative effect PR wise. ESO looks to be pretty amazing but if ZO tried to bundle it up with some of the older single-player titles, that could be viewed by some potential customers as ESO not being a strong enough product to sell well on its own. I.e. it could be perceived as desperation rather than generosity.

I vote no, I have no interest in playing such old games, they look horrible. I still have ultima underworld: stygian Abyss and I loved the game at the time. I tried to play it recently but couldn't stand it.

So no to old games with dated graphics. By old games I mean Arena and Daggerfall.

I still have Morrowind and Oblivion, I love Oblivion still, but tried to play Morrowind and found it rather cumbersome and annoying.

Nah, this game sells a ton. Maybe later make some ES-bundle though when population start to go down.
