The Elder Scolls online is sounding more and more like World of Warcraft and less like The Elder Scrolls source material. Are hardcore fans of the single player series going to embrace an MMO so unlike the original experiences?
Zenimax Online Studios, the developer behind The Elder Scrolls Online, is currently working on a brand new engine for a multiplatform title.
"It’s really special to be at the ten year anniversary."
Wccftech checked out the new Scribing system coming to Elder Scrolls Online with Gold Road and interviewed Creative Director Rich Lambert.
After reading the story I have to say I am a little scared. I am sad to see the first person perspective disappear and the new, more WoW art style is a bit of a let down. The gritty realism of otherwise fantastical settings is what made the games in the single player series so awesome.
I am not a big fan of the decision to create an Elder Scrolls MMO, to be honest. I just don’t see how it would work. Even if it did, it would just ruin the experience of what we know as the Elder Scrolls universe.
They should have just made skyrim online.
I don't play MMO's due to my refusal to play sub fees. But I would not mind a co-op mode with the difficulty ramped up, with DIDO (Drop-in/Drop-out) funtionality. The story could be lead by the host, and if he drops out, the person with the next highest time would become the host.
I do hope the MMO does well, but not so well that they move on from the single player.
I just don't see why they don't just keep everything the way it is, but collaborate everything into one tight little package? It doesn't even have to be an MMO. I'd be fine with just adding multiplayer to the single player experience. Also, They are calling it Elder Scrolls but I can't even play first person view? This is not a real elder scrolls game then.
