I was like, hey, maybe this could be a great game.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2012/05/03/elder-scrolls-online-will-be-released-for-mac-too/

Now I'm fairly certain it's going to be a disaster. : /

[PTTG??]

They released an interview where they said that the quest line is going to be single player. It's literally the punchline in the jokes I've been making- every single player is going to save the world on his own time. Every single character you see is most likely going to be lead of the mages, thieves, fighters, cratemakers, and slaves guilds.

These people have no idea what Massively Multiplayer even means, do they?

I want to play a MMORPG which isn't relentlessly grindy, doesn't demand constant tithes, and which most importantly has a story that revolves around the one single unique feature of MMO games- the fact that there's hundreds or thousands of other players all interacting together.

Don't waste time and money hiring voice actors and writers who have the sole function of boxing in the player's actions. Hire talented engineers who can make a functional server-client system that is flexible and powerful enough to actually take the load when you do sell more than twenty copies.

The best thing that can happen to TES now is for this MMO to get quietly canceled and never spoken of again. Then, in five years or something, they can announce TES VI: Akivirii, or TES VI: The Imperial Province, This Time With Feeling.

Then you will get one of two games. An economy based MMORPG, or a MMORPG that needs to be reset every one in a while. And then will have the meta squeezed out of it.

I just realized how much I was gimping myself by saving up my perk points instead of spending them on 2x one-handed damage... plus other things.

I went on a spending binge. 25+ perks in a single go at level 52. Also, I'm not going to do that infinite Fortify Alchemy - Fortify Enchanting / Smithing exploit.

im dreaming of "elder scrolls VI:hammerfell"

 

[Putnam]

We've already had hammerfell! I think that Valenwood or Black Marsh would be more interesting, black marsh because it may actually bring that morrowind magic back and Valenwood because it's part of the aldmeri dominion at this point

[Alkhemia]

Akaviri would be really interesting as the next Elder Scrolls game but it 99% sure it won't happen.

The devs have said that the main series will never leave Tamriel, IIRC

The devs have said that the main series will never leave Tamriel, IIRC

They also said they'd never be an ES MMO and yet...

They said at one point that Valenwood had giant migratory trees. You think they're going to try and implement that?

fine a dlc for the tiny orc homeland

The MMO sure as hell didn't bother.

Let's face it though, there's literally nowhere they can go without screwing with the lore. That's a loss before they even get started.

Stupid Chillrend buggy looping frosty sound...

Next playthrough I won't use that sword at all, or Elemental Fury which is apparently bugged as well.

Guess I'll just have to override the sounds with blank .WAVs or something.

More accurately, they said they would never develop an ES MMO.  And they aren't.


I was wondering if any of that kinky roman behavior would ever show up in the imperials.
