I see a form of co-op gameplay, featuring high level quests that function a bit like raids, with high leveled monsters at the end. The arguments against having multiplayer modes of any kind are well documented: they take away resources that could go into making the single player mode even better, they are unnecessary and dilute the game’s focus, they are often shoehorned and compromise the game’s single player campaign- these are all complaints that have rightly been leveled at recent Bioware releases, for instance.īut could Bethesda make it work? I certainly think there is a chance that they could, and it wouldn’t require much reworking of their single player framework either. It’s too late now for Fallout 4, but let’s consider the next Elder Scrolls game- could it have a multiplayer mode of some sort? What does Bethesda stand to win or lose by doing something like this? For instance, in spite of a growing tendency towards the inclusion of a multiplayer mode in just about every major release these days, Bethesda has never yet capitulated and included multiplayer of any form in any of its game.Īnd yet the question of multiplayer of some sort in upcoming Bethesda releases is something that is worth considering. One of the many good things we can always say for Bethesda’s game releases is how they are always focused on their vision- they know what they are, and they never try to shoehorn needless elements just to ensure market appeal or popularity.
