@lionesss Warband had multiplayer. This game just looks like Lord of the Ring's Conquest to me.

@Armyboy5 Charles is right man, you really need to check out Mount and Blade. The combat is amazingly addictive, it's not nearly as fun to watch as it is to play.. The graphics are sub-par but the game is one of kind, it's like a Medieval simulation, it's almost as much strategy in building your army as it is RPG in controlling, upgrading, and fighting. War of Roses actually doesn't look that good to me, it looks exactly like LOTR: Conquest. M&B wasn't necessarily good because of it's combat system, it was the entirety of the game's uniqueness that made it so fun. Just using the battle system from one of their games and inputting the gameplay of the Battlefield series sounds like a bad idea, it'll just thin out what made the combat in M&B so fun.

So Game of Dwarves is basically dumbed down, visually upgraded Dwarf Fortress. Ight.

@ZakMcKracken Well D&D online didn't do very well so why would another MMO based on D&D do better years later? I doubt it'll have much to do with NWN anyway, it's by a different company. But if they updated the original NWN gameplay with modern day technology it'd be one great game.

@jordan119 I have to admit, that'd actually be a really fun game to play drunk making fun of everything lol

So it's a crappy Sins of the Solar Empire remake with the backstory of Mass Effect? I'm not sure how I feel about this. Combat looks weak but the planet/star political map looks interesting.

This shouldn't ruin the Elder Scrolls as a franchise, but the game itself could easily ruin what makes Elder Scrolls games great.

@hwrdstrnsbals I don't really agree on the Fallout thing. What makes Fallout fun (for me at least) is the barrenness and loneliness. If you populated a post-apocalyptic landscape with millions of players, what the hell happened to the apocalypse?

@grove12345 Yeah, I completely agree. Adding a co-op or battleground-esque element to Skyrim or the next game would be absolutely amazing. I think that was the whole idea behind an Elder Scrolls MMO: playing the Elder Scrolls with/against friends. But an MMO simply CANNOT do that and maintain the things that the ES does so well. What makes ES games so interesting is the openness and lonesomeness; crowding that beautiful landscape down with thousands of players will completely kill that. It'll ruin the thrill of combat and clearing dungeons. I really, really, really doubt that a fantasy MMO that uses third person and a WoW combat system has the potential to be innovative. If you want to see the innovation that MMO's could have, look at EVE. It's completely different than WoW yet still is an amazing, completely online game. You really need to drastically change something in the MMO formula to make a difference. WAR added Battlegrounds. SWTOR added fully-voiced dialogue. Yes, they add something new, but hell, they're still WoW clones.

@bahldark I feel like that's what they want to do. Whenever an NPC talks about Khajiit they always mention their home. Khajiit mention it as a paradise and Nords speak of it as an overblown terrible place yet the word choice is always somehow positive. It's the opposite of Skyrim, hot, colorful, lush in some parts and barren in others. I picture the story campaign from Battlefield: Bad Company 2, in the desert and jungle. It just seems like Bethesda could do an amazing job there and there would be tons of environmental diversity.
