Why!?

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 11:16 pm

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.
They work for the same company.That makes me feel uncomfortable. They might even be the same, they could be Bethesda wearing a mustache.

I'm not too worried about this MMO. It is a relief that it's Zenimax who's behind it and not Bethesda. Bethesda does well focusing only to single player games since they are the real pride anyway.

I'm not a big fan of MMOs

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.
*sigh*

I know man, I know. I'm not trying to stop it. I just want my cries of agony to be heard by someone.

OH ZENIMAX WHY D:

This will not fair well against other major MMO's. There will always be the Bethesda/TES fandom/nerds, but look at it; Competition being Guild Wars 2, WoW, soon Diablo 3.


TES has a major aspect to it; Being the main protagonist and being more powerful then others, while role playing. I don't see this being all that great, but we'll see.

Why Bethesda? Why do you have to ruin the greatest game franchise ever?

It has a helluva lotta potential if they pull it off right.

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

Seems selfish.
People like me play the Elder Scrolls because we're fascinated in the world and the lore, not so we can power level busty elves.

The announcement of this MMO is hugely disappointing to people like me because it's sure to establish pounds of potentially good lore and yet provide little-to-no opportunity to really appreciate it.
So as you can see, to simply ignore this game is just not an option.

That is if there are any single player titles after the MMO.
It's a different studio.....The MMO has been in development for many years and did not hurt Skyrim or Skyrim DLC.

So as you can see, to simply ignore this game is just not an option.

Thats like a vampire fan getting all bent out of shape because of Twilight. Meh.

Too bad I guess.

I'm neutral-positive on this. I don't see the point judging something we know nothing about yet. All you saying the community will suffer I have played MMOs in my time and they almost always have an option to turn off the chat.

Aha so they will totally axe the Singleplayer Games (which are on Console) for a PC only MMORPG.

Sorry i lost you there buddy.

You will have both a PC only MMORPG and a Single Player TES like we have now.

Zenimax had 3 major flops in the last year or two. This did not effect Skyrim or Skyrim DLC.

You're not making sense.

All I know is I am really glad they are making this game.

In my opinion, TES has been going slowly downhill as a computer RPG since Daggerfall. It has become more and more a console game and much of the old school RPG elements have been slowly phased out.

I think Matt Firor and his team will breath new life into this franchise and I'm very excited to see what they are doing with the 3 faction open world pvp. I think this game will be the spiritual successor to DAOC. Yeah, I'm an optimist, but I'm proud to be one.

It's Zenimax Online working it, not Bethesda. Bethesda knows how to make the game and I'm fairly sure they're overseeing and advising the project, but if they do bite the bullet then Beth will still be fine and it'll just be on Zenimax's head.

Thats it, a mod has to make a big red sticky stating its a different studio. TES fans have stopped reading simple details.

Its not about the studio its about the name! Two games set in the same universe will compete with each other. Why would they want to compete when they re owned by the same company?

Like with Rage and Brink?

Gladly the skyrim dlc and Dishonered should be amazing and make up for that. I hope this game is good too.

Good think that you have no clue at all.

Looking forewared to both the Singleplayer TES and the MMORPG (DAOC 4ever)

After a decade of not doing anything, I just logged on to find a discussion about this annoucment!
Sooo...Welcome Back Me!
Anyways:
1. It's not devveloped by Bethesda, It's developed by Zenimax Online Studios, a studio in Bethesda's Parent company - Zenimax Media.
2. It's set a LOOOOOONG time ago before Skyrim.
3. It has [censored] to do with Molag Bal.
4. The Single Player games won't be out because they're the core of TES and Bethesda won't stop doing what their fans love (wait a second... do Bethesda read things their fans write? Guess so since there's been some replies from them!)
5. Don't talk [censored] about it until we know more about this game.

I'm seeing a lot of http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuinedFOREVER here.

But everyone knows it was Oblivion that did that. This game will either be a forgettable cash-grab WoW clone or the vanguard of a post-WoW MMO resurgence, where there's no damn daily quests and epic mounts and random get X number of boar tusks quests, but something more like Ultima Online or Dark Age of Camelot or hell, even Planetside. If they're smart they'll do something totally different. I don't have any hopes, though, not after Skyrim didn't live up to my expectations.

If anyone remembers me pre-Skyrim: you were right. Dumbed-down indeed. Disappointing plot. Neutered magic and poorly-thought-out perk trees. My real hope is that this MMO puts Bethesda Game Studio to shame.
