I'm also wondering if Bethesda is just going to be folded into ZeniMax Online, and then instead of making new games in the TES series, they'll just work on different chapters for ESO. Assuming the large TES fan-base gets it past the initial being-killed-by-WoW phase most MMOs face. I don't like MMOs either. It's not going to feel like an Elder Scroll game to me. Only one hero at a time should be able to shape Nirn as he or she see's fit. but you're not playing as that hero, you're playing as a member of an army, the "true heroes" are the leaders of each faction; you're just playing as one of their agents. Exactly, it's not what I've come to expect as a TES game. It may have the backstory and some of the characters, but it's just not the same. To me it's just a TES-themed MMO. well it's not really a TES game, it's supposed to be different.

plus everyone has wanted to play TES with their friends, if this fails maybe Bethesda's just gonna say, "hey, this is what you guys kept asking for, and you didn't like it, guess we're gonna stick with single player like we did before, now stop asking for multiplayer."

Multiplayer would still be nice.... Just not an MMO. I had something like what Fable III had in mind. Drop in/Drop out co-op kind of thing with each hero from his or her own "universe"
