Just about every MMO player has an IP he’d like to see undergo the MMO treatment. For some of us here at Massively, that IP is Bethesda’s long-running Elder Scrolls series. Due to a deep reservoir of lore and the fact that earlier games in the series (notably Morrowind and Daggerfall) were more MMO-like than many modern MMOs, we’d love to see what Bethesda would do with such a beast.
Apparently we’re not the only ones, as SystemLink has posted a bit of speculation on a possible The Elder Scrolls V, highlighting a few job postings as evidence in support of its theory. While we’re not completely sold on the author’s conclusions — mainly due to Bethesda’s plainly articulated stance on the massive genre — we suspect this won’t be the last we hear of an Elder Scrolls MMORPG..Maybe a co-op where still where it runs on a server so you can just log into your game and see what your friends, who you have invited, have done. You can create a living world and what not.
