Anyone who thinks multiplayer would be a good idea should visit some of the forums of some of the big multiplayer games, my current fave is Borderlands but there are others and all contain threads about duping, teamkillers and other problems of multiplayer games and such threads do not take long to turn up.
All of those problems would arrive here if multiplayer was incorporated in any much hoped for 5th installment and it would spoil the game.
It should remain single player and, if the game is ever going to happen, and some genius at betehesda could hit a happy compromise that satifies the devotees of both Morrowind and Oblivion then we are talking KERCHING!!
Every game has problems of one kind or another, and there will always be people complaining, no matter what the developers do. Sure, you can dupe items in Borderlands MP. Of course, you could dupe many items in Oblivion without a MP component. Yes, you may sometimes have to deal with noobs, teamkillers, and jerks (in public games only, I would hope). But if you are not willing to put up with the occasional idiot then you can just avoid MP and play the game as SP. My point is that adding a MP component would satisfy the people that want it, and doesn't have to have any effect whatsoever on the people who don't, so I really don't understand what the problem is.
Besides all that, there is one kind of thread that appears with a speed that makes MP complaint threads seem behind the times, and that is the thread complaining about the lack of a MP component in a SP only game. And those threads keep coming back long after the MP complaint threads have dwindled to rare occurrences. To me, that would seem to indicate that more people think a lack of MP is a problem.
