It depends on several things. Is it going to be consolized? If so it's going to fail. F2P - pretty much has to be or it'll fail. the biggest hindrance. No community input. Let's face it, it's always been the editor and community fixes, mods, improvements that are the saving grace of TES games. Now they want a closed system? I don't have that sort of faith in TES games. TES games have always had the weakest, shallowest quests of any CRPG. The environments are great but you can only explore them so long before you get bored. Obviously I'll want to check it out and see what there is to see but I can't imagine it'll be something anyone wants to stick around for overly long. Methinks the game will take an arrow to the knee before o'er long.

Totally different studio.

| I'll reserve my excitement until more info/content is published. Also no word on if it's going to be P2P or F2P -- I'm hoping the latter; P2P games are dying off pretty quickly these days. |

I'm pretty sure if its a valve title, it needs to include something about where half life 3 is.
Yeah, but by now we all realize they're just waiting until they can release the 3 box (HL3, Portal 3, L4D3, TF3, CS3) |

I almost feel bad for any MMOG currently in development that comes out after GW2 and features questing, WoW style combat, etc. GW2 really changes things, and for the better. I'm sure WoW clones will always have a market, but by then the rest of us will have moved on to the next generation of MMOG gaming.
The only MMO I ever played was ultima online, which was pretty fun for a little bit with some buddies. Never played WoW, but I watched the really long GW2 videos that show the game off (like half hour of playing it.) It looked pretty, but incredibly boring. I saw a bunch of shooting arrows over and over and over at some tentacle things, lots of little arrows pointing to some new quest which looked like just shooting at things over and over and over.
Maybe MMOs aren't for me, but I'm wondering what is the new thing that GW2 brings to the table that doesn't seem really dull and repetitive. |

I dunno, I am obviously in the minority, but I may just wait and see what it has to offer, watch previews, etc. and then come to a decision about buying it. I'm one of these suckers that buys and plays games for enjoyment, not to get pissed about the shoulda/coulda/wouldas.
You forgot to add people like yourself, "OMG BLUESNEWS IS SO CYNICAL BLAH, BLAH BLAH!" 
it's just speculation, but it seems to me it's possible this was going to be a fallout mmo, but the legal issues made them go a different route.
On a side note: the world will be a better place when the 'to the knee' thing finally dies off like it should have a day after it's inception. |

Valve gets an equal amount of bitching around here, lots of old school PC users who dislike Steam It's a comments section, not a staffed and moderated forum. You take the good with the bad.

Please, puh-lease no more packs of 4 mobs standing in a cluster by the side of the road waiting to be killed, while their buddies are slaughtered 10 feet away but just outside of aggro range.
Please no more "dailies." Please no more follow me around a corner over a rock under a river long range attacks. I don't want the perfect PvP/PVE balance attempts and class homogenization. Just... don't do WoW/SWTOR again. It's so damn dead assed boring now.
Give me some reasons to explore, some depth and challenge to crafting, mobs that do something other then just wait for you to get in range. Basically make the world a living, interacting place I'll enjoy running out and getting lost in. |

On the up shot, if the map on the cover of Game Informer is anything to go by, you're looking at around 50% of the continent (judging from how big Morrowind is).
While the art direction for Skyrim constantly makes me stop and just... admire shit... (Blackreach was another of those moments, but whenever the weather clears some and you get some awesome vistas it's worth stopping for a moment and looking), I do miss Morrowind and it's bizarre, alien landscape. The marshes, the blight, the canals of Vivec, the crazy-ass mushrooms on the eastern side of the island... it was great stuff. In Skyrim we ride horses and carts between cities. In Morrowind we rode silt striders and blimps and shit. And then there was the solar eclipse... |

This will be right behind Tera when Tera gets shutdown. Either the whole MMO model needs to be re-thunk or abandoned completely. With a couple notable exceptions, WoW and EQ come to mind, these games are horrid and die within 12-18 months.
If you're good at single player then keep making it and don't ruin it by going the MMO route. It seems like unless its an FPS, like CoD/BF, then its destined for mediocrity and failure. |

As to '200 idiots same quest' they will probably instance most things in dungeons. Duh.
All I know is I've been wanting this for years and I hope like hell it stays first person and real time, and that they don't try to go WoW and give us more boring fucking hotbar 'combat.'

I don't like MMOs because you never really "complete" them. The reason I liked Guild Wars was because it was like a singleplayer game that just happened to be played with other people. And I also don't like paying monthly for a game, as you end up paying dramatically more in the end.
If it's a one-off purchase I'll likely grab it; if not then I'll wait for it to go free-to-play. I loved Skyrim but I have no interest in supporting MMOs. |
