    I can actually understand Bethesda reasoning for running with the Hero Engine. IF bethesda had chosen to develop their own engine from ground up, the amount of time and resource consumption would have been extreme. We're talking 5 - 10 years possibly. Its a lot easier to grab a licensed engine (such as Unreal Engine, Hero, etc) and build from the tools available, than to simply build from the ground up at times, depending on the big heads aim. I highly doubt they could run a MMO with the tools used to create Skyrim.

    Look at Funcom and their Cheetah/Dreamworld engine, built from the scratch up, but during its Trial'n'Error runs with Age of Conan, almost costed funcom its moniker as a AAA game producer. However, now its much more stable, even though it shows signs of old bugs and problems (Memory leaks, ghosting characters, and "grey hair" symptoms). But its become one of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced MMO engines on the market.

    But in the end its still a cash grab. Had Besthesda been in the MMO market, lets say, 5 or more years ago, they probably would have initiated a separate team for the development of a MMO on its own Standalone engine. But seeing as theyre just entering the scene, this was the best move.

    Tried finding it but alas I could not =|
    Here ya go.

    They should just release a $15-20 dollar expansion for skyrim that adds multiplayer with several mods, come on death match and capture the flag in skyrim would be epic (to ensure an even playing field just have everyone start a new with unmoded characters) mostly because the elder scrolls is all ready a fluid first peron fighting experience so getting the combat down (I'm looking at you warband) wouldn't be an issue.

    Hell even add in a survival mode where the number of spawns change depending on people in game so if you have 10 people it will spawn 3-4 mobs per a person with say a Giant as a boss level.


    I would gladly pay $20 buck for an expansion like that. I would literally through my money at them.


    BUT!


    I wish they would experiment with multiplayer on skyrim first before releasing a full priced game of elder cools based on multiplayer as it will probably be buggy as all hell, bugs they could figure out with a small expack for skyrim first because I would rather spend 20 buck for a poor experience than 60.

    Yep. This game will go into development hell faster than you can say Fus Ro Dah. They don't know a thing about how MMOs work, and they could easily make the combat like it is in the actual games. They're just effing lazy. >x> I mean many other MMOs have been doing it. Excuse me while I facepalm at this completely terrible idea. If I could go in their studio at this moment, I'd be complaining and telling them what to change. This is the example of their inept minds. Welcome to the world of MMOs that need help. The good ones close down while the terrible ones still stay. It's not even fair.

    Yeah, they're just making the main storyline solo to preserve the immersion. It's not like the rest of the game is going to be instanced and the story is never the main reason to play an mmorpg. I don't understand why people are getting upset about this.

    This game will FAIL HARD! Why you ask?

    Skyrim is only successful because of the MODDing community and what 9000+ mods for it.

    Even if they release Elder Scrolls Online, it will be light years behind what Skyrim has to offer when it comes to content.

    MDDER's will port over 99% of Elder Scrolls Online assets/models/textures/animations into Skyrim, just watch it will happen I guarantee it.

    Well then champ, care to throw an example about? A game that everyone was disappointed in and generally didn't think it will be at all interesting, turned out to be great. Hmm, especially for an MMO...I'm eagerly awaiting your response.

    Skyrim was actually the first elder scrolls that was successful even without the mods tbh. I liked oblivion without also like many others so what you're saying is not true.

    This is perfect example why Skyrim will live 4 ever because of Mods and why Elder Scrolls Online will be a FAIL game.
