I wish DB did add spears. All you get are sucky bow ammunition.
Those trailers, a tease and a copout!

Cuz of the risk they might drop the single-player franchise?

Oh? We're being hipster gamers again?

Damn Bethesda! Every single game since Daggerfall has been for scrubs and bloody casuals! I used to be able to become a wereboar! Now look what we're limited to. Goddamn graphics ruining all the games!

Ah, fair enough.

To be honest I think they are throwing money away with the MMO too. But pretty sure everyone except the bigwigs at the far end of the corporate chain know that. It's kinda like HR. They have no goddamn clue what they're doing, and any successful decision they make can be more attributed to luck than actual skill. Especially when they get a chain combo of luck, then they actually start thinking they have skill and they completely fuck over a company when they start forcing their stupid ideas onto others.

Frankly, this has happened with every single TES game ever. Any time Bethesda/Zenimax announce something new for the series people claim it's ruined forever and that they've crapped upon the lore. I'd rather wait and see if the game is good or not, instead of judging it based on what little information we have. I have, of course, signed up for the beta.

Well I'd argue a lot of interesting backstory details faded back away from the plot focus, some could suggest this is a result of MK fading back as a writer, though I'd say a lot of that blame lies with the voice acting meaning every word costs a lot more money than when it was just text...

Gameplay got better, but whether it got better in the right or wrong direction depends on where you prefer the Action/RPG balance to lie.

I think they can completely screw up, as they can come up with something good and new. Coming from a RPG game, there's some things that might be interesting (and new) to see in a MMO. On the other hand, there's some stuff that definitively doesn't fit with MMOs. I'm doubtful, but I'll wait to see more before judging.
I think they overreacted to lots of reactions : "I want to play Skyrim with my friends, i can't", etc. I personnaly would have loved a coop mode.
As long as they don't do like Blizzard and screw the original games (Warcraft) with their MMOs, they can fail or succeed, I don't care.

Honestly, I'd rather they focused on another proper Elder Scrolls game than some MMO shit, but I acknowledge that my hatred of MMOs is a minority opinion, and I can't expect game developers to turn away from potentially lucrative game types just because they're oversaturated and a bit shit. :P

There are enough good games in the world and in the pipeline to keep me very happy until they get back on track (Blizzard, I'm looking at you).

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.
