In response to "It seems like a fatal flaw to turn what has been a solo-play experience into the opposite. Elder Scrolls Online might get away with it." by Qale

I think some games need to be social (WoW), some need to be solo (SimCity, Civ) and some can be either.

I think Skyrim/Elder Scrolls can do both.

Skyrim is everything I liked about WoW without any of the things I hated about WoW (needing to group up for dungeons, other players being assholes)

- Yes, but you've been able to completely ignore that aspect of the game. I'd bet most Civ players avoided it. -- nm - TWuG Mar 4, 12:27
- it's always been a bit of a challenge though. - znufrii Mar 4, 12:26 2
  - yeah, took forever, and I swear growth and science were much slower. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:33
  - and at least one version (3 or 4) didn't ship with multi-player, they only added it back in in an expansion pack. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 12:29
