The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim V5: But there is one they fear - Dragon porn!

[QUOTE=silentjubjub;33129769]Wrong thread? :v:[/QUOTE]

Wow how the fuck did that happen? Snipped and posted in the right place. Sorry guys.

Hi, I'm a giant open world game but I fundamentally could not have multiplayer because it would fuck up the story.

Anyone who gives half a shit about the story will avoid the multiplayer because people suck. Then after you're done with the story you hook up with seven of your mates and go fuck up the global economy for laughs. That is what multiplayer is for.

Most TES fans who do want multiplayer don't want it for some co-op story bullshit, they want it so instead of dicking around for ten hours alone they can dick around for ten hours with a few friends. Without multiplayer having such a big open world is a lot like drinking alone - it's still fun for a while but it's not nearly as fun without someone to share it with.

I for one would be contributing another $100 to the Bethesda gravy train for multiplayer, as I would be purchasing a copy for 360 as well so I could play with my console-gaming girlfriend. Nothing is more beautiful than a virtual sunset except for a virtual sunset shared with someone you love. (v rainbows v)

[QUOTE=spekter;33129729]The devs would lose time and money crafting MP/COOP, thats the main problem or at least thats what should be identified as one of the problems.[/QUOTE]

I understand that. But devs should not be afraid to explore other areas of gaming.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;33129900]Bethesda has literally zero experience making a multiplayer game in this day and age, it would be a massive waste of time, they're known for making massive singleplayer games and they're good at doing it, deal with it.[/QUOTE]
Maybe it takes a fresh look at things to actually make something cool.

[QUOTE=Alatoc;33129087]Here is a neat bit of info I found. Don't click it if you don't want anything spoiled though.
[sp]The main story ends with you getting an Elder Scroll from a Dwemer ruin to combat Alduin.[/sp][/QUOTE]

That would be quite awesome if true. [sp]Even with a max-level Dovahkiin with all shouts unlocked to their fullest potential, it'd still be kind of hard to justify one man fighting the Nordic embodiment of the fucking apocalypse. Being able to use an Elder Scroll to fuck shit up like how the Grey Fox used one to get rid of the curse he had is an interesting idea. What an Elder Scroll is doing in a Dwemer ruin instead of the archives in the Imperial City confuses me, however. Maybe it was stolen and that was it's last known location? I'll have to see for myself when the game is out![/sp]

EDIT: As for this whole multiplayer argument, MP doesn't and shouldn't have to be in every goddamn game in the universe. Some devs are good at making MP games, some are good at making SP games, and some are good at making MP and SP fit in together. Bethesda lays in the middle category. So drop it and move on.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;33129900]No, fuck you and fuck that.

It's because of Valve exploring other shit like Dota 2 that we still haven't gotten real sequels to their most popular franchises like HL2 and CS.

Whoa. Chill.

And if it was a DLC Coop, they could explore it and still have the game to its FULL potential.

I always had a love for low player COOPing in unreal gold. I feel better being a loner in Bethesda games though.

[TABULARASA]

I don't know why the co-op partner has to be implemented into the story. Just have it like Halo 1's co-op, another master-chief right there but never acknowledged or is apart of the story. Just another friend there to join in on the slaughter.

At the most maybe a few voice lines that are changed to plural references instead of singular toward the one Dovakhin.

I know multiplayer will never happen, I'd rather have the team focus on amazing expansions for the main game.

But CS is getting a new game.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;33129999]This, shut up about MP, if you want MP buy BF3 or something.

Bethesda are good at singleplayer games, they don't need multiplayer at all.[/QUOTE]
If I wanted a game where I shoot people I wouldn't buy Skyrim, and if I wanted a game where I stab people and supernatural creatures and fight dragons with my friends I wouldn't buy Battlefield

ok sorry sir I will go back to discussing beards

I didn't see anybody demanding that multiplayer be implemented, it was just a discussion on why it is/isn't there.

I think it might be time to ignore Atlascore and move on with the thread.

who says EITHER of the players has to be dragon born? as I said before, co-op/mp could be just skyrim roleplay, not main quest at all

[chezhead]

Okay, I pre-ordered Skyrim off amazon, and plan to dedicate the entire weekend to it.

Just curious, I've been having a media blackout concerning Skyrim so I don't spoil it for myself. Is there any [B]non-story or non-spoiler[/B] things about the game I should know? Like new features or such?

[ROFLBURGER]

The only thing I could imagine being Multiplayer in skyrim is dragon fights, Arena matches, or gambling.

There's going to be dragons and swords.

Also, dragon porn.

A second player could maybe make up for the lack of dagron powers, you could just go all Gotrek & Felix on their scaly asses and do the main quest sans actually being dragonborn

It's a feature that was discovered but I tagged it because some people don't want to know...

Multiplayer in Skyrim would die out after a month or two and just hang there like a dead limb. Just like Dead Space 2 multiplayer, it was actually pretty fucking decent. It was just completely unnecessary, and it felt tacked on.

I've never seen any coat tails/cloaks in action, wonder if they have believable physics. Oh and this.

Why is there an axe protruding through his skull?
