    With Elder Scrolls going Online it is just one more great RPG destroyed by multiplayier.

    I wonder if Elder Scrolls overload might actually end up being a bad thing. I mean, at some point you have to move on, or at least get up to eat or go to the bathroom.

    Who knows what it will be like, personally, I hope like hell its just the same as skyrim except with friends (maybe less quest bugs). That to me would be a huge win

    What are the odds Elder Scrolls Online will try something besides the WOW mechanics, roll of the dice style of game play that has been around since Dungeons and Dragons? If I wear some pauldrons in real life, are they going to increase my critical strike rating? It feels like every MMORPG is just a reskinned version of the other.

    How about some real, or at least semi real mechanics, like a FPS, but in a MMORPG? You know, kind of like how the Elder Scrolls series is, but with the MMO part? Any chance of that? No? Instead you're going to turn a perfectly good FPS RPG, take out all the skill, and turn it into just another crappy cookie cutter MMORPG?

    Fuck the world and its lack of imagination and daring.

    And in real life your gloves will give you 20% to alchemy, boots 25% to sneak, perk points to increase my 1 handed crit, and a necklace that will reduce the cooldown between shouts?? Im sorry but its a fantasy game, real life doesnt have a lot to do with it. And this as a mmorpg is going to be reskinned in the same way that skyrim is reskinned rpg, doesnt mean it cant be good

    Yeah, yeah... You miss my point.

    FPS mechanics vs Target, Cast Spell, Roll dice.

    Skill vs Luck.

    BTW, boots could really add 25% to sneak.

    $80? Wow, not a bad deal actually.

    Not to mention that's about 35 years of entertainment.

    Grandmastersexsay,

    Just because it is going MMO doesn't mean it has to have fully-automated non-interactive combat like typical MMO games.

    So.. they are selling daggerfall, a game that is free to download. Just a reminder, there is no support for those games, so if it dosent work for you, your problem.

    Amazing that bethesda desided to jump on the "WoW made a lot of money, lets do the same" wagon. So many companies destroyed their reputation on with this, and now its their turn.

    Also, since morrowind i felt like each elder scrolls after that was slightly cut down in terms of quality.

    It would be very hard to explain to someone who didnt play those games.
    Ofc you need the mods to make games look as good as they should have been in the first place :D.

    Becouse of this I feel i wont be even trying Elder scrolls online.

    Just give chance to Elder Scrolls MMO. It will be a damn shame if it's just gonna reskin WOW mechanics. Unfortunately they are one of the best here. Remember that bethseda team is not making this mmo.
