“They’re making an Elder Scrolls MMO and that is 100% unrelated to [the single-player series].



It's basically awful fanfiction at this point.

The Official Fëanor fanboy. It's 100% unrelated insofar as it takes place well before the ES installments and won't directly contradict them.

Stop putting words in their mouth and inferring meaning that isn't there. 100% unrelated is 100% unrelated. This game isn't canon. You can have whatever fun with it you want, but don't expect it to be referenced or even acknowledged in any parts of future ES games.

And until they come out and say Todd Howard is wrong, Howard, as the head of the series, overrides this MMO.

User Info: Undella_Town Undella_Town 7 years ago #5 You know maybe you're the one inferring things at this point. It does not say 100% related in regards to lore it just says 100% unrelated so that could mean lots of things. But the most likely thing it means is that the singleplayer es team has nothing to do with it. Cause you know that's literally what the article is about. Not about lore.



Get over yourself.

The Official Fëanor fanboy. Indeed, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Chances are at some point down the road a single player ES will reference something in this game. It may or may not be a bad thing. Only time will tell.

User Info: TheSilentMirage TheSilentMirage 7 years ago #7 Morrowind introduced some cool ideas, but TES lore has never been all that interesting to begin with. I wouldn't expect much out of any MMO in terms of lore, but I don't feel like ESO can hurt the series much in that department.



Though I must admit, the idea of players competing for the title of Emperor sounds really dumb.

just imagine, finding a book in the elder scrolls 6 talking about the line of emperors during that time period:



"first there was XxXRageMastahXxX, then he was killed by Abuderion the Wizard who was later murdered by goku2561" just imagine, finding a book in the elder scrolls 6 talking about the line of emperors during that time period:"first there was XxXRageMastahXxX, then he was killed by Abuderion the Wizard who was later murdered by goku2561"

User Info: Big_Boar Big_Boar 7 years ago #9 This is so predictable. Of course they can't make the story canon, the game is going to be made to attract WoW douchebags, not ES players.



As long as the same old MMO stuff is there, the trinity, tedious grinding and quests etc, most mmo drones will be happy so long as they have all that, and their end game ugly gear to show off. Unfortunately, the vast majority of ES fans will not be happy.
