See, that's part of the thing for me. Would Skyrim have been the same if everywhere you look in the frozen wasteland, all you see is a bunch of douchenozzles running around?

That's part of what drove me *from* another MMO (Lord of the Rings Online) back to single player RPGs (mostly Elder Scrolls - I still play Morrowind and Oblivion in addition to Skyrim).

It *really* is going to depend on how they implemented everything and what kind of content there's going to be. If it's done like damn near every other MMO out there with a ton of pointless questing (i.e. a lot of "go fetch me 200 schnobulators") and grinding (IOW, a WOW or LOTRO model) - no fucking thanks.

On the other hand, if I can explore Tamriel and do pretty much whatever the hell I want (like in TES3-5), I might be very interested. I'm just uninterested in getting on the grinding treadmill.

I'm also extremely sketchy about whatever their pricing model is. Sixty bucks to buy the game plus a monthly subscription fee? I could live with that, but don't you fucking do what LOTRO did - sell me the game + several expansions and charge me monthly for years, and then switch over to a free-to-play model where in order to enjoy content that I already paid for, I have to pay again - they made a good part of the content in the original game and expansions something that wasn't available after free-to-play without paying to unlock it. Even for those that had already paid for it. Fuck you, Turbine - you sucked all the life and fun out of LOTRO for me.

Yeah, I'm burned out on MMOs.
