I'm not a huge ES guy, but I ran around in Morrowind and Oblivion a couple years ago, just to have a peak. The one thing I thought to myself the entire time was "Gee, this would be better if it was multiplayer."
As for subs model for MMO, it's the best option. F2P/store games are all shit in my experience. I want to win by playing the game and defeating the mechanics in cooperation with other human beings, not by whipping out my fucking VISA card whenever I need an item upgrade.
That said, I do know one gamer who is adamant about never paying a subscription for a game he bought retail. He says that $15/month or whatever for unlimited play is greedy, but has no problem dropping $120 a week on booze and cigarettes.
