There's More to Skyrim Than Skyrim Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 NEXT | |
These is the reasons everyone gives for not wanting any multiplayer: "It would ruin it" and "TES has never done that". I never see why people think the game would be ruined, and fearing change is never good justification for a point. Mostly it seems like those against multiplayer seem to have this idea that "multiplayer" can only mean a group of 16 - 32 random strangers running around the world. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants a Skyrim MMO. Co-op is the multiplayer people want. It doesn't break your immersion because you in no way are obligated to take part, and the game wouldn't be ruined because the inclusion of co-op doesn't automatically mean Bethesda would arbitrarily change any of the world or mechanics. The arguments against multiplayer are constantly followed by "If you want multiplayer, go play something else," which is obviously ridiculous. I want multiplayer in Skyrim, not "something else". You're clearly aware that TES is unique, so why assume that people who want multiplayer can't see the difference between Skyrim and any other game with multiplayer? So I'm honestly curious how people think multiplayer would ruin the TES series. | |
And that's what I mean. For some reason, everyone assumes "MMO" when they hear "multiplayer." Or they mean "shoehorned game mode." I just mean the option to invite some friends and roam the countryside in the same world. I do the enchanting, Eric does the smithing, David throws magic, Christy swings the two-handed axe... Would the content be super easy? Sure. Who cares? It's too awesome a world not to share with friends, I feel. Seriously, picture the whole game without NPCs. Empty, dead, boring. Well... what's awful about replacing some of the NPC "companions" with your own friends and just kicking around? No harm to anyone. | |
That would be ridiculous if they had the entirity of both Morrowind and Cyrodil. | |
Skyrim doesn't have mod tools yet? I guess they gotta sell some horse armor before people make better stuff for free in half the time. | |
My mind just exploded out of the pure win of that. | |
Depends on how difficult it is to port the landscape from oblivion and morrowind into this, and how much they want to up the polycount and texture res. I would love to see cyrodil now, how much it has changed. | |
Be careful what you wish for, SP is one of the main reasons TES is so great. OT I want to seeeee! It sounds awesome :D *goes to look* | |
And so the modderīs quest beggin. And when the expansions come along, a modded game will have gigantic file fucks, but thatīs okay, itīs still Skyrim. | |
Well, the plot kinda sets it up for a huge conflict with the Thalmor/Aldmerri Dominion. Let's hope. | |
I would love to play this game co-op, not as a MMO. Sadly it's only single-player. | |
Elder Scrolls VII comes after VI and includes all the landmasses of Tamriel like Skyrim, Morrowind, Cyrodil, the place the the Argonians come from. There's only one catch. No fast travel. | |
I would pay full goddamn price for such a thing, and it would explain why there's a roadway to nowhere barred by an invisible wall near a gate - they're going to let us cross the border. That would also explain why no-one in Skyrim besdies two Imperial officers noticed that the civil war has been won, mostly thanks to me, an apparently decorated Legate and war hero in the legion - they're going to implement that later. I hope. | |
I would look forward to an addon that has you back in Cyrodil fighting the Thalmor. With dragons. | |
When I see this, I want to cry. Damn you failing hard drive! Damn you! | |
This. I want to see this, would be awesome. | |
What this seems like it could be is. That they are continually adding provinces to the world to keep up appearances also to continue making the Elder Scrolls games as pretty as they can be and eventually after all is said and done. And the Elder Scrolls series potentially dies, they release the whole world on one game in a future generation. | |
...Now with 100% more Fargoth. :) | |
uhh dude? TES is openly using DnD as source material just like baulders gat and a few other games and also...besides kvatch being in oblivion it is possible to have "heroes" of kvatch and also not to mention the greybeards even mentioned the fact there could be MANY dragonbornes at anytime, the greybeards just dont always find every one of them | |
Hey, here's a secret for you, just make sure you don't tell anyone else, alright? Ready? Here it goes: the high fantasy genre has been around since before D&D. I know, shock and horror! If anything, every modern fantasy rips off LOTR. The pointy-eared, fair-faced elves you see everywhere these days find their origins in LOTR. Same for the dwarves being depicted as small, hairy and loving to fight/drink. And finally, the Greybeards themselves have mentioned there hasn't been a dragonborn since Tiber Septim himself, which has been several centuries. | |
Hope it's a DLC cos I have a console my hard drive probably wouldn't be able to support it though. meh | |
I don't see the reason of this. Me and my Skyrim Playing friends enjoy sharing stories of our own different Dovahkins, we exchange Alchemy recepies, places to visit and wonderous encounters we had so far. I don't need my friends to loiter around MY Whiterun and MY Solitude and MY House and MY Horse and MY Lydia. It's my gaming and I want to share the moments I chose... If you want socializing AND gameing at the same time but lack the capability of sharing the medium by conventional (e.g. verbal) means, try Farmville or WOW. But please stop thinking that redistributing the manpower from the main TES VI project towards multiplayer IMPROVES general quality of the product. In my opinion that's a sad delusion... | |
Oh how I wish I could co-op this with my boyfriend. Too bad fanboys would flame and have a screaming fit if they ever did that. | |
yes your most likely correct that most modern fantasy games rip off lord of the rings for races and what not but the game mechanics started in DnD. like stats and dice roll based damage and things like that. i said the greybeards mention there COULD BE many dragonbornes at any one time not that there are so there maybe more than just yourself in the time period that skyrim is based in | |
Well you are thrown up into the sky for one of the Daedric prince quests while talking with them. Pretty much the exact same thing as in the Knights of the Nine DLC. | |
People like you are why we can't have nice things. Co-op Skyrim with my friends would be the best experience in a long, long time. | |
Multiplayer does not have to be MMORPG. Saints Row is the perfect example of a well made coop modus, and coop is multiplayer. People always think "multiplayer => mmo". Being able to play the game with 1-3 friends would be fine, and they could implement it. Would you lose immersion? Yes. Would you be forced to play it? No. And yes, an open big world multiplayer would suck in the current form. About the "All Tamriel TES" Game. IF they wanted to put as much detail into the whole tamriel as they did with Skyrim + keep the ratios of the regions; meaning Skyrim would stay as it is then add Cyrrodil and everyother region with its correct size, they'd probably need 10 years to create that game. I'm close to 40h into Skyrim and have seen basically nothing, or at least i still have the feeling that i've ages of exploring ahead of me. Now multiplying this by (how many regions does tamriel have? 9, 10?) i'd say i could dump between 200-300h of playin' into that. | |
A modern, unbuggy version of Daggerfall? I can't wait. | |
No Bethesda please you've already taken so much of my life already. Making these areas accessible would warrant full commitment to my new life as a citizen of Tamriel. | |
No no no, we shouldn't be discussing MASSIVELY multiplayer Elder Scrolls games. However, to say that having co-op TES games is bad, now THAT is crazy. How could including something like co-op ruin a series? | |
Personally, I think that a couple of the mappers and terrain guys got together and did it as a fan service. The DLC for Skyrim is all supposed to be smaller than Shivering Isles, so that rules out adding any of the other provinces. That, or they just gave the modders a basic outline to work with, for the sake of being nice. Still, I suppose that we could potentially get DLC that would add in Solstheim(?) Or an area like Bruma, so that we could see a bit more of Temriel in this new time period. /edit TL;DR (That's right, this is how low my opinion is of your attention span...) Drop in co-op, maybe?Certainly not multiplayer, certainly nothing that would require dialogue changes, just something simple. Think Lego Star Wars. :P | |
People like me? | |
Actually, this is the reason games like Bioshock and Dead Space got multiplayer. | |
Because Bioshock and Dead Space are widely regarded as such terrible games, right? Besides, I don't think anyone is asking for deathmatch, as that kind of multiplayer in a game like Skyrim would just be a complete waste of time. More akin to a co-op mode for a small, close group. Again, why do people insist on throwing a fit because others are asking for the feature? The only way it would conceivably change the game for those not interested in it would be one more clickable button at the main menu. | |
No, but their multiplayer modes are.
Not like it would take months and a shitload of resources to completely rework the game engine that doesn't have any network code. | |

*sigh* why does multiplayer have to be synonymous with online multiplayer these days? While I agree that leagues of min-maxers, griefers, and the inevitable inclusion of PvP "balance" would ruin the experience, LAN-based co-op a la Baldur's Gate could enhance the fun considerably.
The additional player(s) wouldn't even necessarily have to make a new character. Imagine someone taking control of your NPC sidekick, eliminating their suicidal tendencies and making them useful for more than just a pack mule.
oh right, on topic: I'm guessing the presence of Cyrodiil and Morrowind are just for modders... makes you wonder about High Rock, though. Is Daggerfall in there?
