Well everybody knows morrowind and oblivion by now .

I know they mostly focus on solo games.

But they know how to build a big open world, like in mmorpgs, there famous for it.

So would they be good enough to make a great mmorpg?

Or should they just stay at what they do best making great solo games like morrowind/oblivion?

yes ok besides that.

I liked morrowind alot ,and the way you devolop your character, open world freedom and its tailor made also for a great pvp enviroment.

Oblivion was great to look at but the teleporting was to much and they maked it to simple but it have potential to become a mmorpg.

It is tailor made for a great solo experience.  Those games also would lose a lot of interest because many parts of the game would have to be changed.

For example:

• No killing shop NPCs for items
• No more stealing from houses
• No quests that changed the course of events in the game
• No stashing items for later in chests

Also, I agree with the thought behind twitch combat and how horrible lag is.  One of the reasons games like WoW succeed is because there is a lot that can be overcome even with some lag.

bleh great games nope atleast that goes for oblivion...

also why do people keep bringing up WoW get over it its boring...you can just afk kill a boss with some

other people and the attacks are also very lame and dont come with : why do so many people play it then?

Since thats no excuse wether something is a great game or not

The good idea would be to allow people to make servers, much like Baulder's Gate.  It was really fun to have a group do missions in that game.  More of an Online RPG, not totally MMO

Well when i was playing morrowind i already thought many with me would be nice if you could play with some friends in this game:)

But ok maybe oblivion is not right for mmo but i say they have talent inhouse to make a mmo:)

Was just a idea becouse look at bioware.

I'd say no, not because I think they couldn't create an MMORPG game, but rather because atm they are one of the best (and few) firms focusing on the single player RPG market, and they should stick with what they are really good at.

Also, they would bring us yet another fantasy based RPG...and I'm not sure we need more companies traveling down the same path as so many others...

depends if they got anything original to add to the mmorpg genre. When all these mmorpg releases come out soon the genre is going to be saturated but also players will be demanding a lot more to shift them from their chosen or preferred mmorpg.

Well, my opinion about Oblivion (and to lesser extent, about Morrowind) is similar to rpgcodex's review: http://www.rpgcodex.com/content.php?id=129 . Which is imo one of the very, very few honest reviews of that game, imo.

Mmorpg made by betheseda ? Well, better not, all things considered.... There's already enough junk in that department. No need for another "nextgen", "immersive" "spiritual successor".
