Why no Multiplayer

[Darth Dave]

The issue is its been done already with masses of planets in No Mans Sky. The main problem is as a single player game it loses its appeal to me. It will become boring very quickly, i mean it doesn't even have co-op. So disappointed, all that potential, wasted.

Cause its a singleplayer game like every bethesda game except teso and f76

1) it's not No Man's Sky, it's a Bethesda RPG with space in it.
2) Bethesda RPGs are great single player games.
3) So there's no "potential" wasted. Shoving MP into this game would be wasting the potential of a great SP game by diluting it's focus and messing up it's structure & balance to account for multiple players.

yeah its not a wasted potential.
But coop like many other games would just be a bonus if they add it down the line.
Most other coop games just have "more players = stronger enemies" for balance and it seems to work pretty well, also something that wouldnt really be hard or take too much time to add.
Borderlands and generation zero for example are doing it pretty well where it works fine both singleplayer and coop.

If it loses its appeal, then don't buy it. Doesn't sound like it's for you.

serious question. How would optional coop make you lose interest? If it will have no gameplay influence on your own game?

For me it sounds the same if you go out and eat and the place you eat at have an optional saladbar for your order, and someone you dont even wanna eat there now because of that. something that wont ruin your dish since you can just not take anything from the saladbar.

As if a horde of obnoxious teens called f**kface & fancypants, constantly jumping around and firing rocket launchers into your face is something anyone needs, anywhere :)
Thankfully, this is a singleplayer experience where we can explore the magnificent desolation of space in peace and quiet.

Nice try. You're still buying the game, and you're still going to enjoy it.

pretty sure you dont know what a coop game is if you think you're just gonna meet random people shooting in your face.

The topic title is multiplayer, not coop.

to be fair, OP also talks about coop in his post.

Multiplayer like NMS or fo76 can ♥♥♥♥ off and stay away.

having "proper" coop like borderlands, generation zero or other games like that wouldn't hurt, if its something that wont require too much time and effort.

So you can freely pick which particular subpart of a thread you want to discuss, but I can't? This thread asks the question "why no multiplayer?". I answered.

I don't know, can you?

Bethesda games tend not to be multiplayer. Not BGS games anyways.

The whole idea is creating an amazing single player universe for us to are not wanting to have multiplayer in every game out there.
