Should Bethesda make a Tes MMO?

No way. It would be the undoing of TES and good Bethesda games as we know them. I hope it never ever happens.

While I cannot deny that there would be some awesome things to such a game, I think the idea should be killed before conception. Frankly, it would ruin most of what we have come to love in the TES games. I think that Bethesda could make an MMO based in the Elder Scrolls world, but it should not be labeled a TES game.

I think making an MMO might be a little too constraining, and for the people who like to roleplay...

Well, make a RP, RPPVP, PVP and Normal server like most games.
But else, i catch your drift.

Unfortunately not, but I think it highlights why an MMO isn't the best idea...

I'm not sure what the question is. Should the next E.S. game be an MMO? Or should Bethesda make a E.S. MMO along with a single player one? If it's the latter, then I don't see why not as long as they make the single player game as good as it should be and they don't split their attention or resources making two mediocre games.

I don't mind the thought of being able to interact with other PC's, I just don't want to have to share any loot with them.

"Get out, I'm clearing this dungeon! Go find your own!"

Maybe they could make a game that had qualities of an mmo, while retaining the qualities of a regular rpg.
For instance, maybe you could choose to play the game by yourself, or with others.
Or you could possibly be playing by yourself in the dungeons, and then in the cities, and in the wilderness you could be with others
Yet another option: you could do what is being done in Fable 2, and be able to invite friends in.

Well that's my two cents.

Not sure about MMORPG, but I like the idea that your friend can play aswell when they come round
