The Elder Scrolls V possibly a Massively Multiplayer Online Game

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (DVD-ROM)The creators of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Bethesda Softworks, only focus their studio on one game at a time. Next up for them is Fallout 3. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t talking about a sequel to Oblivion. Bethesda Softworks’ VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines told 1up the following about the years-away Elder Scrolls V:

“Well, I can tell you that since Oblivion has been such a smashing success that I’m sure we will do [Elder Scrolls V], but there are no immediate plans right now,” said Hines. As for what form Elder Scrolls V would take, that’s still up in the air. A Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) seems a natural, evolutionary step for the series, but while Hines doesn’t suggest that’s a direction for Elder Scrolls V, the possibility of a new game has been bounced around. He doubts, however, they would go forward unless they had a “fresh idea” for the genre.

    Starwars games…….
    i would like to know why there isnt a starwars game like oblivion. it would probably be the most awesome game ever. i mean think about it. you could pick from different races, for example, humans, mandalorians, force sensative characters, and so on. you could pick your class. for example, i would say kind of like in KOTOR, then you could shape your characher like you would, for instance, if you use a blaster more often you get better with blasters, if you choose to become a jedi, you can build your own lightsaber. the game would be limitless. i also believe that if this game is ever created then we should consult George Lucas. We should ask him why every single one of his games portrays the lightsaber as a weak weapon. as we all know, in starwars, the lightsaber can cut through absolutly anything, except for another lightsabor. now why is this not happening in his games. bite the bullet and make the game mature for crying out loud. these are just suggestions. thanks for your time.

    Idk who mentioned wife and kids, but that would be a great idea for oblivion. Once dispo gets high enough, one could propose.

  • Elder scrolls!!!!!

    To be able to ataak while riding a creature and having different types of creatures to ride, 2-player on and offline, a wider range of weapons and armour, wifes and kids, more options with character creation and being able to actually shape weaponry.

    Put some gun in it like a flint lock rifle and a flint lock pistol and maybe a blunderbuss that make it a little more interesting

    Ahah ok.. Mcj, that would make it too close to fable… And as for those who want wife and kids, again too close to fable and fable 2, and the new fable 3 coming out… What you really want to be in the game is a big range of weaponry, travel, armour, abilitys such as like others said shaping your own swords, of course that would be ALOT of work.. Adding more weapon type is something I’d focus on, same for armour. I’d say battle axes are the smaller one handed or on side bladed weapons, war axes are the long, two handed STAFF and double headed Larger attack pointed but slower weapons. As for swords.. They can use more types. Such as claymores, try better and more crazy looks to them. Long swords, they need to be jacked up on looks like the sword you get from the quest in shivering isles after facing yourself to prove worthy to the tree in the last quest. That was a very good looking weapon. Armour.. Oh he’ll yes that needs to be MUCH more bad azz lookin’. Like madness armour, but Jack that up with a bog ol’ spiked skull on one shoulder, and smaller spikes maybe 3 of them on the other shoulder… The leveling system needs to be worked on… I think they should add like.. BIG bladed weapons.. Like they stay at the minimum 4-5 foot like claymores but the blade is huge in width, I know the weight would be alot. But that could be a very awsome looking and powerful weapon. Co-op believe it or not should actually go to 4 players. But that’s enough… Don’t want a bunch of laggerd, also local play like two controllers one system one TV one XBox… Go back to it… No one really want local co-op to dissapear.. Game developers say it’s good for profit? Wel what happens when everyone does t buy it because of that reason. Hahaha, yeah… Thought so. Well anyways.. Make that damn company see this and they’ll know where I’m coming from. As for a story… Hmm… I bet I could stir one up that’ll make everyone go for it. =)
