Will it include an multiplayer option?

Do you think it will be a multiplayer version or just a single player game?

I really hope they consider some minimal co-op options. Just let the other player play as a follower or something, they don't even have to be able to leave the vicinity or be able to start quests. I think that alone would be great.

There was a mod for Skyrim that did let another player play as a follower, but unfortunately they didn't get their own screen. If the next game can do that and give the player their own view at the minimum, I think it would be great.

I think that it'll be entirely singleplayer, unless they want to further extend development times, which seems unlikely. That said, any multiplayer elements would be a godsend. As long as they're not executed as poorly as ESO.

War

Agreed with ESO. It feels like ZeniMax saw people saying "we want multiplayer/coop in our Elder Scrolls games" and then thought "let's make an MMO set it in the Elder Scrolls universe."

I wouldn't mind if any multiplayer elements were absolutely minimal. Maybe there could be an arena mode where two players can duel, and that's it. Or maybe a second player can play as a follower, like I said above. The follower wouldn't be able to start quests, enter or exit areas, or speak to NPCs at all. It's the bare minimum, but I think it's what I and many others want at the minimal for multiplayer.

Some Far Cry 4-style co-op mechanics would be nice. Disable the main quest if need be, but allow us both to muck about in the world, together. That would be fun.

2-4 player co-op would be most welcome, but PLEASE no 20 person lobies, we don't need another Fallout 76 fiasco, Just a few good friends playing a fun game. Though as Elder Scrolls 'is' a story driven game, I would include a feature that boosts vocal sounds from in game sources at the touch of a button, so you can force the game to talk over your loud as hell friends and possibly those friends background noise.
