Does anyone know anything of the up-coming Elder Scrolls IV?

Posted: **Mon Apr 05, 2004 2:57 pm**

I havent heard anything of this. I know that they are re-releasing the first elder scroll game for there tenth annivesary. maybe thats what you are thinking of, if not, I have no clue.

NO,Im certain that it was Elder Scrolls IV, I read somewhere that it is most likely going to be in Summerset Isle, the land of Altmers, i hope so, Altmer is my favourite race!

Apparently it MIGHT be called Oblivion, that's all I know, check out the UESP for more details.

Since 'D'oh' is my middlename: what is UESP?

*sigh* I can see how the game would lend itself to a MMPORG... but I'm really not wild about them....

Well I do really like the concept and idea of massive mutlyplayer role playing, but I'm not keen on monthly payments and they should be clear to follow and easy to do alone as well. I think that Diablo 2 set an example here, you just needed the game and you could play the game online.
But I like the idea of at least a multiplayer mode (since I am missing it now in morrowind)

IMHO the last thing we need is yet another fantasy mmorpg...

My feelings exactly... I was really hoping Bethesda might not succumb to that obsession.

I think, unfortunately, that the market for well-made single-player RPGs is smaller and less profitable than the one for online games, 'action RPGs' or purely console games. Morrowind, while good for different reasons, is at least as well done as Planescape Torment and Shadows of Amn, it is a shame that the move is now away from quality games such as this

Why dont you people enjoy MMORPG's? They are the only type of games that I actually enjoy....did I miss something that gave MMORPG's a bad name?

The UESP is the Unofficial Eldar Scrolls Pages, but the site seems to be down right now.

mmorpgs arent any fun for people with slow internet connection or people that arent willing to spend all there free time chopping down wood or killing insignificant creatures so they can gain a measly level only to be killed by some massive pk... granted multiplayer games can be fun i still prefer d&d as my source of multiplayer rping, and my comp is for great rpgs, like morrowind with graphics

NO!

i am COMPLETELY against online morrowind, end of story. it would destroy morrowinds roots. just say no.

Posted: **Wed Apr 07, 2004 7:22 pm**

i agree completely, but its already planned so we cant change it, unless of course we petition....

hmmm....

Posted: **Wed Apr 07, 2004 10:18 pm**

I wonder if it would be worthwhile attempting to set up a petition....
Though, I'm honestly not sure if it would have an effect.. as I mentioned earlier the gaming industry is generally moving towards online games and the like since they are deemed more profitable....

No, there's nothing wrong with MMORPG's, I just think that, at this moment, there are more than enough fantasy-oriented ones. It would be nice if some company came up with something original. Like... a western. Or something prehistoric (Neanderthal Online)...

Posted: **Thu Apr 08, 2004 12:15 pm**

yea, I geuss a western MMORPG would be cool 'cos you could like become a hooker or something....

I couldn't agree more. There goes all the unique and moddable flavor of Morrowind, out the window.
