They said that about the Elder Scrolls Online and look at it now.
I think Elder Scrolls Online could have been great if Bethesda (studio) made it instead of Zenimax (owned by the people that own Bethesda) .
But ESO is just like Skyrim! Except forced 3PV, autohitting spells/abilities, and uhhhhh....mostly everything else.
I think that a faithful co-op or multiplayer Elder Scrolls or Fallout game would sell like hotcakes, I would love to have someone cover my ass with a sniper rifle while I'm trying to shotgun some mutants.
