Possible Elder Scrolls MMORPG?

Post » Fri Jun 08, 2012 12:15 pm

There are rumos going around talking about Bethesda working on a possible MMORPG, what does everybody think about this? Is this a wrong move for Bethesda and TES, or will it only grow the series?

I think there is going to be a fallout MMORPG, but I doubt there will be an ES one

I dunno, I have seen rumors over the ownership battle for the Fallout MMO, but I don't think Elder Scrolls lends itself to online play. Those stories have always been about an event and a single hero.

Todd has said that his and his team will never make MMOs. They will only focus on single player games - that's what their best at.

It's very possible that there will be a TES (or Fallout) MMORPG made by some other company within Zenimax, but not BGS.

Whenever Bethesda (not BGS) but Bethesda can no longer rake in sales they will make a MMO with a cheesy sub base and lie to their consumers "we need this sub base model to keep _______ up"

Or Beth just makes a MMO for more money both scenarios will most likely make a mockery of TES.

Wrong forum. Try the "Elder Scrolls Series" section.

An MMO would ruin the TES franchise and especially its lore - just look at WoW and the Warcraft RTS games before it.

Unlikely now that Interplay is out of the picture.

There was going to be an MMO based on Fallout but they axed it.

Sorry about that, I was reading this forum when I heard about it so I was like "I gotta post it!".

What if it wasn't comepletly made into a MMORPG, but just had an optional Co-Op feature?

I would imagine it will still ruin various parts of lore and other things. Having two demi gods going though a dungeon isn't exactly my definition of fun. But it could happen in a future game (not Skyrim well not for everyone anyways)

It would require a complete rewrite of the game code - not something Bethesda is going to do a little over 2 months after release.

Also, some of the Bethesda people have said no, so don't hold your breath waiting for it.

Also, in before lock.
