Given the trajectory of the series (and Bethesda games in general) I have this creeping fear that it's going to be even more watered down than Skyrim is. It seems like with every game Bethesda releases they strip away RPG elements and dialogue and "streamline" everything, effectively making their beloved RPG franchises into action-adventure games like they did with Fallout 4. What are the odds they turn it around and actually make the excellent first person open world RPG the series deserves?

My dream is for TES to get it's own New Vegas, a return-to-form RPG from an outside company that actually knows how to write an interesting video game

    As Todd Howard put it: “If you want us to stop releasing it, stop buying it.”

    Skyrim is a video game version of the Police Academy Equation. Sooner or later we'll find out how many times you can port a popular game, because as soon as it doesn't make its money back they'll stop doing it.
