I'd really like to see another MMO the style of Planetside

You mean like this one?

That's really awesome. Although I also do wish it wasn't under Sony. But as of now I'm looking forward to it. Well, it and Dark Millennium Online, but I have no idea of how that one will end.

Man, Game Informer is trying pretty hard to shill a game no one wants.  It's somewhat telling when every other sentence is "It's totally not a WoW clone guys".  If you cut the words "Elder Scrolls" out of the Sage interview, you would think he's talking about WoW.  It's also funny that the games they compare it to are Skyrim (boils down to "it will share some lore" despite Zenimax Online having little contact with Bethesda and having turned down M.K.), WoW (has the largest comparison block), and two failed WoW-clones.

It feels much worse than that.

It's like someone posted a game idea on the Internet, saying, "It's basically X game, Y game, and Z game all put together, but better than all of them put together!". Hardly two days pass before some green-eyed executive reads it, sees the big-name titles under the flag of a big-name title, and barks the command for the weary game-making slaves to build a golden pyramid that will be his personal money printing machine. Somewhere between setting the first stone and opening to the public, the golden pyramid will be pilfered and defaced in short order, abandoned and forgotten. It shall stand as little but a jagged reminder that games are much more than taking the best of everyone else's ideas, and throwing your own in there. And people will look at the dusty, sad ruin, scratch their chins, and say, "Dude, that gives me a great game idea! I'm going to go write this down real quick on the Internet."

all i want is a few DLCs to other regions, like hammerfell

no fancy MMO! thing is alot of people get bored of those things i rember when i liked runescape i got tired of it easily.

so bethesda please, stick to single player or two-player co-op cause that would be cool!

[Gamerlord]

*Sigh*. It would be nice if they make it like RDR's multiplayer. That was fun. But this just looks like WoW 2.0.

[MorleyDev]

I'd rather see a small region. Size-wise Hammerfell is on par with Skyrim and it'd be years before we saw it. Now, if they were to invite us back to Solstheim again...

As for an MMO: Crash and Burn. It is going to Crash and Burn. A "Wow" killer is impossible because most Wow-players are stuck in an investors fallacy. They've put so much time into it, they have to put even more in to justify it to themselves. Plus hot key gameplay only really existed because it was limited by the technology when it was first created. We finally have technology to such a level that we can make MMOs that can actually involve things like manual targeted attacks and dodging, and that's what you have to do to compete in the MMO market.

TOR should be the last 'big' hot key wow-style MMO.

Bethesda isn't making TES:O

[bukitodinos]

any other game, like say fallout or a new series would be fine

again i would like to see a two player co-op from bethesda

o and did anyone else play dagger fell? or arena?

A Fallout WoW-clone would probably generate even more rage.

I played Daggerfall, but I haven't done so recently due to the hassle of getting it set up on my current rig.  I'd think that only a small minority has played Arena (of which a small fraction made it out of the starting dungeon) given that Bethesda's following was almost non-existent at the time and it doesn't have anything to draw new players to it.  Daggerfall still has the best character customization of the series (I really wish they would revisit the concept of point-buy), a large library of powerful spells (provided you know which ones don't crash the game), and a great atmosphere of a skilled agent operating in an environment of ambiguous feuding factions.  It's undeniably got a lot of crippling flaws, but it's got enough positives to retain a small following.

So, after some hitches and crashes, I've finally gotten a half decent mod list together (Minus Warzones; that seemed to crash my computer more than anything, and I can run Ultra High at 60+fps easy and the official High Res Texture Pack). So far I've had a bit more challenging game on Master difficulty, but also easier in some respects. Namely, I get killed extremely easily, but enemies can be too, in some cases.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

HBE (Hardcore and Rebalanced Experience. Makes everything a bit tougher; no more running into Windhelm and getting 5k gold for the house outright)
Moonpath of Elsweyr (Looks shiny. Haven't gotten to the content yet)
Unofficial Skyrim Patch
Weapons and Armor fixes
Paarthurnax fix (May be redundant with USP)
Smithing Perks Overhaul
Complete Crafting Overhaul
Deadly Dragons
Tougher Traps (works both ways; with a little creativity, enemies can get killed just as easily. Glad I don't use a follower.)
Uncle Sheogorath's Tips and Tricks (Hilarious, if I don't load so fast I don't see them)
PowerMasterTheTimeAndSpace (Looks sexy, having a slow down effect. Haven't actually gotten to play with it yet.)
Deadly Combat (Hardcore damage option)
Dual Wield Parrying (Random version. I find it a little more... realistic, as the randomness of attacks could mean that you're finding weaknesses with enemy defense, rather than power spamming your mainhand).
LFox Werewolf Improvement (Vanilla werewolves sucked. This fixes that and gives you a few perks / debuffs when in human form as well)
Advanced Kill Moves (More kill moves, more fun!)
ACE (Tweaks a bunch of different skill trees, gives more variance between heavy and light armor, changes bows to be long/short, with different bonuses for each... just an all around awesome mod that gives more flavor to playstyles)

I want to find a way to get the ACE archery plugin to work with Throwing Weapons - Death From Afar, and it'd be nice if I could figure out a few good spell mods like Midas Magic or Apocalypse, but my current character is a warrior/thief, with little to no magic to their name. So I'll worry about those at a later point.

There is a fallout mmo Fonline 2238
And yes I've played Daggerfall and Arena

 Bethesda/Zenimax doesn't actually own the right to make Fallout mmos, some other company does (sorry for not remembering which one). And yeah, last I heard those guys were developing one too.

A Fallout WoW-clone would probably generate even more rage.

Hey, at least it would be turn based ;)

Anyone know what happened to the "War In Skyrim" mod???

People complained about it, so the developer threw a tantrum, removed it from the internet and vowed to never develop it again.
