Yay...Molag Bal, Prince of sexual molestation and rape is the main baddie. Discuss your thoughts on this online mmo of our beloved Elder Scrolls series.

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed.
I long for scenes where man hath never trod
A place where woman never smiled or wept
There to abide with my Creator, God,
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept,
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie
The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”

Much as I'd love to play Luper Alkad, the time-travelling smug honoured user Redguard, I doubt I will really. Hardware requirements are simply getting too high for me, even with mmos who tend to aim low to maximize their userbase.

Also, one thing came to mind upon reading the plot. Oblivion: the Prequel.

I guess when you've seen one Daedra trying to make Tamriel his, you've seen them all. Hopefully they'll make this little crisis look like a tad more of a threat than the last one.

The other issues I can see are the game system. Tes has always controlled more like a first person shooter with inventory and big menuscreens than the point-and-click third-person combat of mmos like Lord of the Rings. Are they going with the traditional mmo system, or will they try to keep it closer to the single-player games?


Also, I'm totally going to laugh at all the rage going on in the pvp when people start screaming that Bosmer are useless, Argonian poison immunity is cheating and the Atronach Birthsign is broken. laugh.gif

I know a lot of people are upset about ES: MMO, but I'm fine with it. As long as the main games stay single-player, I'm fine with it. I don't know if I'll get this game in the long run, though. Might be kinda fun IF I could game with some of you folks who've been been chatting these last few years. Then again, maybe it would suck! huh.gif Maybe our styles would clash or something.

I dunno.

I wonder if we can join Molag Bal!

Oh, don't forget that the PVP will be unbalanced. The PVP is always unbalanced. tongue.gif

I'd be fairly interested in this; I'm not one for MMOs, but a TES one would be fun and a Chorrol Forums guild would be nice. That said, Bethesda will really need to try something new if they want a chance of not just losing all of their business to World of Warcraft as so many new MMOs end up doing, though perhaps keeping their playing style in the current manner could be the trick; all the other ones are hotkey-based nightmares with godawful user interfaces designed for people with five eyes and an extra few fingers, and the simplicity and fluidity of gameplay of the TES games (Morrowind's occasionally intangible foes aside) are one of my favourite things about the series, so keeping gameplay largely unchanged could work in their favour just to add some variety to the market.

I may give this a shot depending on what the gameplay is like. I haven't been a big fan of the mmo's I have tried.

I wonder if the mods over at the official forums are still being ordered to close every topic about ES multiplayer? wink.gif

Theres a whole new section over there! Hopefully folks are flocking to it even now, leaving room for pleasant discussion in their wake. smile.gif

I cant imagine committing to being online at a specific time even once, much less enough times to develop some sort of team, or whatever. Hopefully anything interesting from the new game will pop up in the lore forum.

I had not thought of that. Maybe now it will be possible to have a discussion in the Skyrim forums?

That would be nice. I haven't been on the official forums for a few weeks now.

The Skyrim forums have cooled off a bit, I've noticed. The "unpleasant" threads are usually obvious. They're easy to avoid. But the Sky threads themselves still move too fast for my liking.

I go post there occasionally, just because Chorrol's boards are too slow sometimes (note all my floods of posts here! Sorry, y'all). There's always guaranteed discussion there. But you have to be in the mind-set that today's discussion probably will be off the front page by tomorrow! nono.gif

I always go to the Bethesda forums. I think I have a master's degree or something. But the people here on Chorrol are more friendly. I got so many warnings on that site.../sigh.

I used to post in the Oblivion forums, but now that I'm playing Skyrim I don't really have anything to add to any of those conversions. Skyrim forums aren't really much fun.

I meant 'had" many warnings. Though Rohugh and the mods removed them after six months or so. My warning is 25% now. It was 70%. Though I don't troll around much, sometimes the people there can be very annoying and sometimes they report the smallest things.

A lot of them are going to a 'free to play' model. That said, I don't know that BethSoft is going to do.

Isn't the "free to play" model based on "but you won't survive without buying...."?

Maybe. I played League of Legends for a while and didn't spend any money on it. You unlock stuff by either saving points you earn by playing, or by spending some money. For me it was more fun to earn by points. I can't say TES MMO is going to be like that though. kvleft.gif
