Bethesda Sister Dev Licenses HeroEngine for MMO, Rumors of Elder Scrolls Online Persist

TES should never be made into a MMO. It has a rich world, full of rich history. I don't want it to be butchered by
1) LOL COLLECT 10 FOX TAILS.
2) Running around a city and seeing "xxX-DarKAsaSsinZ-Xxx" jumping around and humping guards.
3) General Chat
4) Not being the hero. Not being the center of the universe. Not being the guy who kills everything.
5) Having weekly respawns of a demi-god boss.
6) Having the character system and rules be completely changed to appease the mmo crowd. I liked combat in Morrowind (It wasn't much). I liked combat and magic in Oblivion (It was more than Morrowind, but still wasn't that much). The thought of spamming 1-2-3 in consecutive order until I kill a mob is even more mind numbing. I loathe the way MMO does combat. It sucks ass. I know that it is insanely more complex to implement a combat system that would work in a single player environ into a multiplayer. Server/bandwidth/lag issues. Whatever.

TL;DR Version: Don't water down my TES or I will fuck you up.

Heres the thing... In Oblivion and Morrowind you feel alone in the enviroments. Sometimes its funner to play with other people instead of with yourself. And some of the spells will actually be useful like hte Burden Spell that could be used on others. And then the world won't just be run by Scripts and AI but by Actual Intellegence. But if people don't like the Full Fledged MMO just make it on a Smaller Scale. Online but only with a certain amount of people per server.

Hero's Journey? Never heard of it.

Dear bethesda, here is a better game idea than oblivion MMO:

Oblivion DS, I envision a sandbox overhead action rpg that plays somewhat like a zelda game but replace puzzles with a much deeper combat system and non-linear world.

The DS needs some sandbox games.

Bah. I want good casual action rpgs with coop, not MMOs.
