I heard about The Elder Scrolls' upcoming MMO. I'm kind of excited, but I'm not sure how everything would work out. Might just be because I'm so used to it being a single-player, but what do you think?
Im willing to bet that the gameplay wont be the same as the series. Probably more cartoony judging by screen shots ive seen
Actually it is possible to have leveled monsters - it's just that almost nobody does it in MMOs, and those very few who do reserve it for special events or world bosses. It hasn't been well-developed as a technology - whether because it "couldn't possibly work" or because nobody's played with it enough is an open question, IMO.Frankly I feel like it'll be a flop since most of Skyrim's marvels stem from how... open it is. Like, you obviously can't have leveled monsters in an MMO, which means this area will be for level 1-5, that area will be from level 5-10, et cetera.
The MMO is being developed by Zenimax. From what I understand, the folks at Bethesda are acting as lore consultants, but otherwise aren't much involved.Sorry, Bethesda, but I'm sticking to Skyrim.
It almost seems to me like they're rushing through everything. Unless development began waaaay before Skyrim was released, it'll be at most 2 1/4 years from Skyrim to TES:O. Just look at the 5-year gap between Oblivion and Skyrim.
Of course, since Zenimax is developing it, this means that they have their own resources and therefore TWO TES games can be made simultaneously.
Ah, okay. So 7 years, then?It's been in development since 2006, I believe.
