Your brother seems to ruin much for you.
Personally I don't think that Bethesda should make TES an online multiplayer game on this level. Don't think it really fits with the game series or the feel of the series. Starting up an TES game and running around the world with other players, all who are doing the same exact quests as you are really, in my opinion, ruins the play experience for a game like TES. It works with some games but for a game series that has been solely a single player experience to just jump over to an MMO I don't think it was a good choice.
Now I have no doubt that the game itself will do well, be good and be fun. Whenever I think or refer to it I won't really look at it as a TES game.
