Most likely Elder Scrolls V, which from I understand is half-confirmed (or something like that) to take place in Skyrim.

Hopefully, it will go bankrupt.

If not, it can continue to ruin TES.

Hopefully the old Bethesda that made great games will come back.

If not, let's go with the bankruptcy wish.

Yeah, almost certainly TES5, but I'm sure they'll put out some mini expansions for F3, as well as maybe a full blown expansion or two during the wait.

I can see the crappy, 2 dollar, anti-nuclear armor for Dogmeat already.

They've taken a hint from what people didn't like about Oblivion, I wouldn't be so pessimistic if I were you. Most likely TESV or the rumored MMO (that studio just opened 10 minutes from my house, they're gonna be making a big hiring spree in the next couple of years).

Why would they bother? It's much more financially sound to appeal to the mainstream, and they can't have it both ways.

I don't think they will go to a mainstream audience. Oblivion was a hard-core gamer targeted title, and it still sold copies like hot-cakes. Point is, right now they aren't worried about financial issues as they are doin just fine.

Ahaha! Oblivion is as mainstream as humanly possible without being Halo.

By what criteria do you judge the hardcoredness of a game? I am interested to know why you think Oblivion was aimed at the hardcore. It wasn't, of course - it was super mainstream, but I would like to know why you think otherwise.

They should. If they just remade Daggerfall, marketed it as a new game, everyone would win. And hopefully they'll do the same with Morrowind a few years later.

Interplay has the rights to that, not Bethesda. The Fallout MMO is already being planned by Interplay, last I heard.

I'd bet on a sure thing like Elder Scrolls V, or maybe they will suprise us and work out a new IP, maybe both at the same time. I just hope they don't waste their time with an ES MMORPG. The market is getting saturated, and I don't feel the ES universe would be well served with a MMORPG. It's just not that kind of world, it's better for a single player only game experience. That's something Bethesda recognized when doing Morrowind and Oblivion when they made them single player only. Heck, if we're really lucky, they'll remember what made Morrowind so great, and make ES 5 more like that, as opposed to Oblivion.

and that i would absolutely love :( i really didn't like the direction they went with morrowind compared to daggerfall, when it came to freedom (to break the gameplay :D). that said, i don't think something on the scale of daggerfall is possible anymore without hugely cutting back... man, that would be seriously awesome if they found a way though.

The rights for a Fallout MMO belong to Interplay and they have already announced it.

In a recently released annual regulatory filing, Interplay has reaffirmed a "two-pronged growth strategy" that involves securing "at least" $30 million for a Fallout MMO and reviving classic owned videogame IP.

Ah shoot, didn't notice that happened! Interplay, which ceased operations a few years ago, has a chance to make a comeback thanks in large part to 2007's $5.75 million sale of the Fallout IP to Bethesda, developer of Oblivion and the upcoming Fallout 3. Interplay licensed the IP back for the proposed Fallout MMO. They sold the IP to bethesda, then licensed the IP back for an MMO.. haha, for some reason that's funny. On the other hand, you can take that a sign that Bethesda has zero plans of setting foot in MMO-land anytime soon when it comes to Fallout.

Bethesda will, most likely, never do an MMO, that would be up to their recently opened sister studio Zenimax Online Studios.

What if Interplay never gets off the ground with their MMO? Dosen't the license revert back to Bethasda? Perhaps Bethesda knew Interplay wasn't going to pull anything together, and they just got a spare bit of change in letting the license sit with Interplay. Not like they wanted to make one in the next five years, not until Fallout 3 is out at least.
