User blog comment:NobodysWarrior/Skyrim Co Op?/@comment-4113369-20130304153420

Co-op doesn't really fit well with the whole "heroic journey" thing the TES series has going. YOU are supposed to be the hero, the person seemingly everything important revolves around. TES is escapist heroic fantasy, and that doesn't clash well with Co-op. It's a single player experience, and one of the last big ones that haven't succumbed to tacked-on multiplayer. I'd prefer it to stay that way, personally. And to be quite frank, I'm not sure Bethesda's coders would be up to the challenge. The games are good, but the coding... could be improved, I guess you could say.

There's also the danger of it ending up somewhat like Fable, with annoying Co-op gimmicks and such. And that's no good!
