This is the continuing WoW-ification of all that isn't WoW.

Read my other post above. All I want in a Skyrim multiplayer is to be able to run around the map (Hell, split it into chucks and give us loading screens, I don't care) and kill things with friends. I don't need quests. The devs already have the modeling done and NPC coding written. It would just be a matter of loading a nerfed version of the world (No quests), player data (the armor, weapons, etc that they currently have on their character), and setting up a network. Limit the multiplayer games to four players, that would be perfect. Write code so that models and such from a certain distance from a player won't be loaded to help reduce lag.

I don't want Skyrim the way it is to be multiplayer. That would be absurd.

I see it with every RPG game Ive ever played since WoW was launched. The WoW nerd crowd come in and try to change everything to copy it



Not going to happen, EVER. You know nothing about coding if you think its that easy.

I'll make a deal. You get multiplayer. But add the mod where I get to endlessly [censored] player corpses with broomsticks and gourds.

No. You want multiplayer? Go buy Rift or WoW, put your sub preference in and enjoy the crap that comes with online gameplay. Leave the ES series out of it... it's one of the few games left that isn't tainted.

Id love multiplayer but it would lower the overall quality of the game

Hahahahahahahahhaha I'm a computer science major. More specifically a game dev major. I know what I'm talking about hahahahahhahhahahaha

The only real obstacle is the engine and whether it would play nice with a multiplayer mode or not. [censored], if us users can make a multiplayer version of Skyrim, so can Bethesda

Except I don't wanna play those games? Ever think of that? Maybe I want to play SKYRIM online with friends and not WoW. They're two completely different games anyways. You can't even compare them.

The singleplayer only days of gaming are over.

1.Then use your education and do it yourself.
2. The current engine doesn't play nice with itself.

That's it... I'm putting away my Troll-feeding bag. I suggest that you all do the same and let the moderators lock this thread already.

Really? I think the sales figures for Skyrim would say otherwise.

1. I have Skyrim on my xbox so no and I have a Mac anyways
2. Apparently it can handle multiplayer though if modders are creating a MP version of the game

They're not over. Did you somehow miss the obvious fact that people are here telling you they don't want it? That the lead developer himself doesn't want it - banked on that idea - and still ended up selling millions of copies?

Or do you just live in a fantasy world that ignores anything resembling fact and reality?

If you're a computer science major then solve this.

2a^4 +4a^3 -14a^2-4a+8 divided by a^2-2

This is a simple math problem, lets see if you can even solve it.

How many games come out without a MP nowadays? Next to none. The only reason Skyrim sold so well is because of how massive it is! It doesn't need a MP to create replay value, it has replay value in its singleplayer.

Don't get me wrong, I love Skyrim, but a MP would be perfect.

i cant believe i have to quote my self in the same forum .... but this is a multiplayer/co-op already in the making for Skyrim. deal with it. its happening.

Edit : sorry, double quote of myself.

No just no.
This would kill the game for me.

LMAO. A supposed comp sci major who has a mac and games on 360. Yeah right comp-sci my anus.

The fact that a modder is creating a multiplayer version of Skyrim that has support behind it says otherwise. People want it. All my friends want it. If these threads about mp are made so much, obviously people want it.

Open you're eyes.


Nope. Don't care enough

Half of the good games in the past year aren't multiplayer.

Deus Ex
Arkham City
Skyward Sword
Catherine
LA Noire
El Shaddai
Witcher 2

I saw that, I love it. The only problem is that none of my friends have computers that could run Skyrim so it would be a pointless endeavor for me to buy it for my Windows



Because Macs are better. I have a Windows too smart one. Why the hell would I spend money on a Windows that can run PC games I'd only use to do homwork on when I already have one I can do my homework on? Furthermore, why would I waste all that money, on top of it being stupid, when my university has an entire computer lab with hundreds of Windows?

Same here.

We have an existing multiplayer discussion topic here: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1320106-official-tes-multiplayerco-op-thread/

Also, there are a couple of people working on MP mods in the Skyrim mods sub-forum.
