Do you think this game will be the MMO to rule them all? :P
I thought the trailer was pretty awful, but I still have hopes for the game, especially if they don't completely mangle up the lore, so I signed up. We'll see.

Look into the game Blade and Soul. You might like it.Quote:

With the absence of a clear leader, three warring factions—the Ebonheart Pact, the Aldmeri Dominion, and the Daggerfall Covenant—use the opportunity to expand their territory, at the expense of their rivals and the residents of the Imperial province of Cyrodiil.The Tharn family (the family of the infamous Jagar Tharn) forges an alliance with Mannimarco to assist the depleted and surrounded Imperial Army by reanimating their dead. Secretly, Mannimarco betrays his Imperial allies by assisting the Daedric Prince Molag Bal in invading Tamriel in an attempt to incorporate it into his realm. The player character is one of Molag Bal's victims, who has had his or her soul stolen by the Daedric Prince.

Tamriel is divided by three different factions: Skyrim, Morrowind, and Black Marsh are territories of the Ebonheart Pact; the Summerset Isles, Valenwood, and Elsweyr are part of the Aldmeri Dominion; Hammerfell and High Rock are parts of the Daggerfall Covenant. The only province that isn't clearly controlled by any one faction is Cyrodiil, which is technically controlled by the unplayable Imperial faction, though all other factions contest their claim to it.
It's a WoW clone dude.Quote:

This game is bullshit.
How so? Everything the developers have said boil down to, "It's another cookie-cutter MMO only set in the Elder Scrolls universe."Quote:

Fourth faction would be Cyrodill I think, which is supposed to be ruled by a Daedric Prince in the game and up for grabs by the three player run factions.Quote:

And that future TES titles will be limited by what ZeniMax Online does with the world.
I don't give a shit about this game and I really don't like how every big budget WoW clone has to make some "EPIC" cinematic video to reel in the fuckin' preorders. I liked Skyrim fine and Skyrim + mods a lot. Why the fuck do they have to try their hand at WoW cloning? It's going to be a dead game after 6 months just like TOR, Warhammer, Age of Conan, ect. ect.
Richard Cobbett wrote a preview for Eurogamer, and it doesn't look too promising :(
(oh, apparently Nathan will write about it as well here)
Eurogamer had some negative Fallout 3 previews and then gave it a 10. Not sure what I'm trying to say here.
I really wished they had just made TES with co-op. That is all they needed to do. Do not make it an MMO. Then you are forcing yourself into MMO gameplay and constraints were are the polar opposite of what makes TES TES.
The Avatar kickstarter is the type of offline/online they should go for. Or do Freelancer like servers, where people can host their own worlds.
Hosted Skyrim world, and you can put your own mods and adjustments for your server...to dream.
Gota chase phantom menace of $$$ tho thinking it will get your more money in the long run. Which it could but so risky nowadays is why do it where a Skyrim World would be a huge hit.
