I can't believe no one offered this up:

MULTIPLAYER.

Maybe it's not possible with the engine or something? (I don't know squat about programming and what not :/ )

When I first saw my LAN buddies getting addicted to ESIII:Morrowind, and played it myself for the first time... the lack of multiplayer almost made me cry. I realised this game would be unbelievable on LAN. The experience would be unmatched.

Our characters, a Battlemage, a Barbarian, a Ranger, and my Templar Knight (the Ranger and Templar Knight custom classes, of course) roaming the land, looting bandits and exploring ruins. The Battlemage and Barbarian doing some bad stuff unbeknownst to the rest of the group; the Ranger helping every NPC lost in the wilderness; and the Templar Knight tolerating the others for the greater good.

Going our seperate ways from time to time to tend to the needs of our different guilds (sometimes crossing paths at odds with each other... would our loyalty to our friends, or our loyalty to our guild be more important... haha who needs friends when I have a Lord's Mail waiting for mefriendship...).

Meeting up to tackle the hard missions/ruins/etc, brag about our newfound gear, and whatnot else.

I wouldn't care if it was like BGII where only 1 player was the main character, or if all of us were part of the story, or what.

I could go on and on about how great this would be multiplayer, but it's 6 a.m. ...

Maybe no one mentioned it cause there is a multiplayer mod or something? (please tell me there is! ...if there is, of course...). I heard there was a multiplayer mod in the works for the last few months, but this was from an EXTREMELY unreliable source.

No one else feels the same?

p.s. check out my post about getting rid of the glowy effect on enchanted items please...
