I have never played Skyrim, but it seems to have a healthy following. I'm not surprised at this at all, I figured it was a matter of time before they took it online.

Pfft.  90% of what makes Skyrim popular is the game play.  Unless they do something vastly different from what I've seen proposed so far, it will have more traditional MMO gameplay (ie-press 1 to use this ability, then 2 to use this ability, autotargeting, no need to aim spells/arrows, etc etc) I can't speak for others, but I know for myself that's not what I would want to see it turn into.

I played Elder Scrolls 3 and loved it.

I bought Oblivion and it never really did anything for me. Just seemed too cut and dry after ES 3.

Was planning on buying Skyrim, but found out it is only available with a rootkit and whatnot (Steam), so I'll be passing on it.

Guess I'll have to pass on the rest also as I avoid Punkbuster and friends like the plague.

Sad end to a great series for me. :(

It's not that bad. It actually is better because all your mods are neatly organized and uninstalling/installing is a breeze. I remember having troubles deleting mods in Fallout 3 (which used the same engine/mod system), and had to hunt down the exact file that was corrupt or causing bugs. I like the Steam Workshop for Skyrim.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Everything that made Elder Scrolls will not be in Elder Scrolls Online, it's going to be a cookie cutter MMO using a modified HERO engine (same engine used by SWTOR).  The only interesting aspect maybe it's PvP.

NWN was my first RPG. I spent 4 years playing that religiously. So much fun it's impossible to take into account that it's 10 years old. My Cleric/Ftr/Arcane Archer wrecked just about everybody at level 40, even if a Wiz/Sorc decided to debuff me. Too bad my old server that I played on for 5 years died.  :cry Haven't touched it in 2 years.

I am still waiting for the sequel to Fallout 2. It's going to be a long wait.

Oblivion, except for some improved mechanics was a league lower than Morrowind. Skyrim I have not played, but it still seems dumbed down - I must give it a try before judging more. Turning it online in MMO form seems like a bad idea in an attempt to cash in on the singled player success. It will have nothing of those things that made the single player series so good.
