It would be great in a DLC or Expansion to have actual wars, like liberating towns, factions, a politics system etc. Controlling armies, fighting in an army. Battlegrounds

The Civil War was close enough, just didn't have enough fighters.


And I wouldn't really say Game of Thrones is comparable, seeing as books can have infinitely more characters than games.

Yeah, I would hope we wouldn't compare the two, else wise there'd have to be naked women every 2 minutes in Skyrim.

eh a man can dream can he lol jk

I think TES online is going to have large scale pvp battles over the imperial throne.

Consoles couldn't handle it, too many characters on the screen for large battles. The Warzones mod has disclaimers saying you should only download it if you have a rig with enough processing power to handle it.

We'll get epic battles on the day that Bethesda finally ditch the bones of Morrowind, they just can't put enough NPCs on screen without utterly destroying framerate, having said that I appreciate the fact that no other engine is so well suited to RPGs but we're stuck with it for now.

In skyrim we did get some of it. As others have said consoles could not handle too large an army. The only things I think they could of done better was to allow more city battles and maybe a bit more politics.
