It does - however, until those implications can be proven to remain true in the future, you never really know. Things could be different.

Not really. Just see how many people in this section that are hostile towards a TES MMO and just wants to play TES SP games.

They are very different products and offer very different gaming experiences, one being more social and require more planning as other gamers have to be taken into consideration at all times, and one offering an experience you can play at your own pace and change everything to suit your own prefereces thanks to mods. And that's not even going into the depths of the vast amount of differences between the two.

The Blizzard RTS team is working on more StarCraft 2 stuff, at a very slow pace. And that's nothing new, Blizzard always been extraordinary slow when it comes to developing their games, long before they entered the MMO market.

That would be a major large mistake, and not make any economical sense, seeing the SP TES series is already a huge success.

Exactly. Then the question of canon comes in as well. How does what is in the MMO fit into the actual canon of the game? Does BGS even consider any of it canon since they aren't the ones technically doing it?


I'm not angry. Don't take my post as anger. Many people on these forums take my posts as anger. I just have a very different way of typing and I seem angry. Also, since you quoted me, it looked like you were "targeting" me with your comment. Perhaps if you hadn't quoted my and began your post with, "No one..." I would've been less inclined to respond directly to you.

Now, we can get back to the festivities.

Pretty clear as in none?



I didn't realize you were a Blizzard employee and knew what projects they are currently working on that haven't been announced yet.

I do kinda agree that we should wait for a bit more info.Then we can rip TESO apart.

People have a tendency to take my posts as anger also. Oh well, what's done is done.

So..kind of what Oblivion was in relation to Morrowind?

As is common knowledge these forums do not represent the market.

True is that blizzard are a slow bunch but what I am trying to say is that the MMO killed the original despite the genres being even more different than TES and TES MMO.

People make mistakes...I just hope Zenimax hasn't made one now.

Until I have seen warcraft 4 I believe I am correct.

But that's the kicker right there. Yes, they are making Star Craft 2. But, they in effect killed Warcraft with WoW. They have no plans to make another RTS Warcraft game which is unfortunate as I loved the old RTS Warcraft. I had a WoW account. Played for a few months when it first came out. Then realized I had no interest in an MMO. Haven't touched another MMO since.

Now I really want to see Warcraft 4. Oh well there's always D3.

Or making assumptions. I can see how the two words are interchangeable despite having different definitions.


You know this how?

Thank you finally someone who understands.

Have I mentioned a little thing called 'roleplay servers'? Because it seems like known of you have ever heard the term. Seriously, you're not contributing anything by coming on here and yelling about how a game you know nothing about is going to svck.

So many whiners here. Lets just wait until we get to see Gameplay before you Judge a Game.

or actually read the news articles and realize this won't effect future TES SP games (which is the majority of whiners dont know)

Exactly. It's not a game that we know NOTHING about. I'm right in the middle. As long as I still get the sp experience, I don't care. In fact, I'm sure I'd enjoy an ES MMO. But I wouldn't want to sacrifice the sp series of games for it. Since I decided (based on Morrowind's cover art) to rent ES III from blockbuster, it's been my favorite series.

Wherere have you read this?

I'm very unhappy about it, mostly because I think there's a fair chance the success of TES:O will be the end of TES:SP (just like WoW killed Warcraft series).

And the reason why I think it will svck and blow at the same time has nothing to do with the quality of the game itself (about which we don't know anything yet) and everything to do with people who will play it (and we know them all too well).


That was before WoW. Sure, there had been d-bags in online games before that, but not on this scale. If TES goes online, I'm afraid that the barbarian hordes will hijack the franchise and the insanely dedicated community of TES players and modders will slowly die.

I think our only hope lies in Zenimax Online doing something very unexpected and basically shooting themselves in the foot financially - the only way this won't be a disaster is if they make a top quality game that will be too hard and mostly unplayable for pre-pubascent [censored] with the attention span of a senile mosquito, if they make a conscious choice to make a game that will appeal to a much smaller audience, not to trolls who already pissed all over Azeroth and would like to mark some new territory. Judging by how the TES games progressed (regressed?) from Morrowind to Skyrim, I seriously doubt that will happen though...

I'm pumped, Bethesda is hard at work with DLC and such and Zenimax Online producing TES:O.

Uh what? No. I want them to make one series and can this one.

I've read many books and have a decade of experience designing games. I know things. You don't.

Why, it won' effect you if you don't buy it and just continue to play the single player titles... Different studios.

Seems selfish.

The whole franchise is ruined? Well, gee, I better go snap my Skyrim disc and uninstall Morrowind from my computer because a game that is completely different from the base series is being developed by another company.

That is if there are any single player titles after the MMO.

Well, new DLC for Skyrim is coming out and you don't even have to play this and whether you like it or not it's going to happen.
