I REALLY hope for some kind of multiplayer - coop would be perfect. I remember playing "Oblivion" and "Fallout", and how cool it would be playing it together with some friends. Sooo, fingers crossed!

Highly doubtful. Single player only is a hallmark of all The Elder Scrolls games.

I have not seen any kind of MP play what so ever. I'm thinking with games of this size (as far as potential gamplay hours) it's probably too complex to work in a cooperative play mode. But I will agree that it would be cool to have an RPG game of this quality have the ability to incorporate 4-player co-op with each player taking over a different race and class.

I'd bet a lot of money that it will be SP only.

No they say it won't, it's always been considered but they said it would take away from what they want to focus on single player and dragons

I'm looking forward to the single player experience like Oblivion.

Though it would be fun to go mess up some orcs and stabs trolls and taunt dragons with friends. biggrin

I guess the problem is that they'd need to script the quest two ways then, one for SP one for Coop. The entire quality of these titles always was that the world reacts to you in a very belieavable way, so making a world that authentically reacts to a party of 4 instead of just 1 player must be really hard.

It would be nice if they allowed to replace an AI Companion with a human. Can't exactly remember if Oblivion had companions, Fallout3 certainly had.
