Bethesda Announces Elder Scrolls MMO

Posted by timothy on from the hey-zonk dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Today Bethesda announced that their popular Elder Scrolls series of video games will be getting its own MMORPG. It's planned for 2013, and will be available for PCs and Macs. 'Players will discover an entirely new chapter of Elder Scrolls history in this ambitious world, set a millennium before the events of Skyrim as the daedric prince Molag Bal tries to pull all of Tamriel into his demonic realm. "It will be extremely rewarding finally to unveil what we have been developing the last several years," said game director and MMO veteran Matt Firor, whose previous work includes Mythic's well-received Dark Age of Camelot. "The entire team is committed to creating the best MMO ever made – and one that is worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise."'

      I was going to come here to count the "arrow to the knee" references, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

      I used to make arrow-to-the-knee jokes, and then I took a vagina to the penis.

  4. No immersion -- No TES by Shoe+Puppet · · Score: 3, Funny

    One of the main strong points of the TES games is, in my opinion, that they allow for quite a lot of immersion. Well, about as much immersion as a fairly buggy PC game can give you. I cannot imagine that they will be able to carry that over into an MMO full of 13 year old kids called "FusDoRahPorn131888".

    And after respawning you'll have to wade through the horde of "TheLustyArgonianMaid696969" knockoffs all dancing naked on the mailboxes in the starting city.

    Pfft, you're suck a slacker, I've been playing this MMO for only 30 years. Sure for the first 18 I noobed about a bit, but then I got into this hard-core 'work' that raids 5 days a week, officially, but ofc I grind on the weekends too.

    I'm almost lvl 55 now. You should check out my epic mount.
