Make a modern-day game like Elder Scrolls Online

Chuaznega

I really like ESO, and recently I was thinking on the possibility of making a MMO game LIKE Elder Scrolls Online but in the modern days (or a little bit in future).

EDIT: Sorry I didnt explained what I really would like to see, it is a modern-day game that has the same mechanics as ESO, not the lore/story but the functionality of the game.

Observations:
1 - Fallout 76 it is NOT a MMO like as far as I know.
2 - The Secret World or its reboot it is NOT even close to a game like ESO.

I believe that game already exists and is called The Secret World.

You're looking for Secret World Legends. Pistols, shotguns, hammers, foci of various stripes, assault rifles. Your magic is used to enhance your weapons, not casting huge spells.

You beat me to it Woops.

Secret World - Legends, as TSW is now eol due to this reboot,
but mostly TSW is the better due to the real grind f2p nature of the reboot!

Rudal

NOOO, please NO!

Fallout 76 ?

I still have TSW installed on my PC and might play it again one of these days. Totally forgot they rebooted it as Legends.

I play games for the background, not the game system. That said, ESO has the game system I like most so far, so I would not be opposed to a similar system for a different background...

And yeah, I could see it work for many flavors. Scifi or cyberpunk with tech gizmos and possibly "psychic powers" instead of magic spells and loads of ranged weapons instead of the melee-heavy ESO combat, mossibly something mixed with tech and "magic" like Shadowrun... or steampunk, or superhero, or... or... or...

As i said, I come from the other direction. I look at good backgrounds, not at the game systems.

And there are tons of backgrounds I would love to see MMORPG-ized. Many of them from lesser known scifi or fantasy TV shows, book series or comics... but eh. Time will tell I suppose if any of those ever get picked up.

Asys

NOOO, please NO!

Cyberpunk 2077 is what you lookin for me thinks. (little bit in the future)

AcadianPaladin

NOOO, please NO!

The poll option is way overstated. Simply not a game I would consider. I only like games that are medieval fantasy, large scale, open world, rpg.

mxxo

NOOO, please NO!

ESO may have some bugs, some missplanned events and other problems atm... but i love it and i just want that ESO goes on. No other game needed. Despite all the problems its a really great game and pvp, pve & story are well done. And i love the setting. Fantasy settings provide much more opportunities for a methaphorical horizon than onesided future settings in my opinion.

Chuaznega

YES! I would love it!

EDITED the description for a more clear idea.

JamuThatsWho

NOOO, please NO!

You're asking for The Secret World whether you like it or not.

FakeFox

How about Star Citizen? I know it's a bit further in the future, but it has even more Mircotransactions and Bugs then ESO!

mague

NOOO, please NO!

I prefer to see meadows, trees, animals and stuff. Not downtown like in Hellgate London. I prefer old dungeons and caves, not subway tunnels.

Played Secret World and liked it. But in the long run the fantasy genre has the better visuals. But the idea of Sercet world to have no armor should make it to the fantasy games. More playing, less materialism.

BoneShatterer

NOOO, please NO!

fallout is skyrim in the future so basicly fallout 76 is ESO in the future

Claudman

NOOO, please NO!

Ugh...And turn it into that awful dumpster fire of writing known as c0da? Pass.

Perwulf

NOOO, please NO!

Nah. I already find TSW cringey af.

Post 5th Era on Masser, a digital world with Dark Elf ninjas...

It does sound a little tempting...

You're a few years too late.

The Division is pretty much ESO with guns and no magic.

MasterSpatula

NOOO, please NO!

Please, no. I already spend enough time in the modern world. And all the forced PVP sucks.

My first MMO was cyberpunk themed... Neocron. It had your weapon based classes and your psy-monk who used spells.
I would love love love that game to be re-released as a totally new game with today's graphics...be so perfect.

PvP kicks in about 2:50...

Fallout 76 SHOULD have been like eso but they REALLY dropped the ball on that one. Should have had Chinese Stealth Armor too. What a wasted opportunity...

Yeah...only problem is that FO76 sucks. horribly. and even if it wasn't bad, it really isn't an MMO. It doesn't have any of the aspects that most MMO's have (other then being online and allowing for lots of players). You could certainly define it as an MMO solely from the description of the term (Massively Online Multiplayer), but 99% of the playerbase looks for certain things in an MMO that FO76 does not have. And based on the OP's comments, they are looking for something like ESO. Fallout is actually more like ESO then FO76 is.

FO76 is not an MMO. it's a hybrid PoS they wanted to brand as an MMO and as a Fallout game so they could sell copies.

Would just like a functional fall out mmo thats not 76...

NOOO, please NO!

Said a mouthful, thank you for expressing my own opinion so succinctly!

Secret World had so many design issues. A good urban fantasy MMO would be amazing. TSW was not a good MMO.

ArchMikem

So like, Watch Dogs Online?

Wait, GTA5 isn't a thing, right?

My only gripe with The Division was how chunky everything got. It was fine overland in Tier 5, but leveling was uneven, and even getting to 256 for T5 was a stop and go mess. When your weapons were slightly more powerful than intended it was a lot of fun, but progressing to Hard simply upped everything's health.

It had a lot of cool ideas, but I really found myself wishing it had combat more in line with Ghost Recon: Wildlands, once that came out.

Pretty much, note that if ZoS would reuse its setting it would be fallout online.
Some talk of ZoS expanding and FO:OL is the only candidate I see. Yes naming need works
