An Elder Scrolls MMO wouldn’t feel as real as a single-player experience, according to Bethesda producer Todd Howard.

“I like this kind of game better,” he explained to Joystiq.

“You know, it’s what most of us are into. I’m not really an MMO guy. I respect them, I look at them, but I don’t play them. It feels more real to me when I’m the hero and it’s crafted for that. A community aspect to it, I recognise a lot of people would want that in a game like this, but it changes the flavour for me.

“We can just do our thing, and it’s kind of grown with each game. So there was no pressure from anybody above me to say ‘Hey, you need to change this.'”

Howard has also recently revealed he would like to see the industry adopt a single-platform model in the future.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is set for a November 11 release.
