**** yeah

Exactly what my thoughts were when I heard the news.

This is a dream most ES fans have had for the better part of a decade.

yup, i was pretty deflated after fallout online getting canceled (still am i guess), but this does everything to make up for it!

Anyone worried this will be a major fail though?  Not sure how well this series translates into an online but then again they have some talent so maybe it could work.

Oh yeah, I'm very apprehensive that this will be (for this community) Conduit 2.0.  But according to one article I read, this has been in production for a while already, so at least things shouldn't be rushed.

As for how it would translate, I'm not sure.  Probably a WoW-type system.

Bethesda hasn't disappointed me in 4 different games. I'm genuinely not worried at all.

Yeah, I'm not worried that the mechanics will be bad or anything.  What I'm worried about is this:

It will definitely be interesting to try and see Bethesda make an MMORPG off of Elder Scrolls gameplay. The last MMORPG with a hack'n'slash combat system that was even looked at was Age of Conan which didn't turn out to be a very good game at all. With that said I have faith in them that they will be able to make an MMORPG tailored to the combat system that they employ in their games as opposed to other companies who try to just replace the regular autoattacking combat system with hack'n'slash and assume that it will work with the game.

Looks exciting and I hope it turns out well though I don't think my laptop would really run it.  I don't think so, but it isn't possible to upgrade a graphics card on a laptop, is it?

Yeah, you can't upgrade the graphics card on most laptops.

Yeah, only macs allow upgrades.
