Skyrim is my first TES game and I. love. it.

Will there be another one, even though they are like 4 years apart?

Bethesda has neither confirmed nor denied at this point that they will be continuing the series. But in all likelihood there will probably be a VI. TES is too awesome (and profitable) not to continue.
Are they concerned with money? Because financial greed has caused the downfall of several companies: Infinity Ward, Treyarch, EA, etc.

Infinity Ward and Treyarch were not greedy and might not have continued COD in the way that they do if it werent for Activison who is greedy.

No no no I'm not saying they're greedy. I'm saying they are a company. Yes it is an amazing game that has developed a massive fan base at this point BUT in the end Bethesda softworks is still a company and as such is looking to make a profit off of a service/merchandise. TES is arguably they're most profitable merchandise.

Yes, sorry I meant Activision. It is, after all, the owner of both those companies.

No doubt. They put everything into their games and the reward they get is the one they completely deserve.

Highly likely there will be TES VI but of course, it won't be out for a very long time. I am not looking that far ahead though. Skyrim, like Oblivion, will mature nicely over time with mods. There will also be DLCs so Skyrim is really going to long term relationship as opposed to poor Call of Duty series which gets yearly release with little or no improvement.

HOWEVER, it is possible that they might release TES VI faster than I predict. That's because Fallout: New Vegas came only 2 years after Fallout 3. They both have the same game engine but Fallout:NV has an overall improvement. It's possible that Bethesda might pull off something similar to this but that is only if they got nothing else better to develop in between TES V and TES VI.

Well there is always the TES MMO that Bethesda was supposedly working on about 4 years back....
I'm pretty sure Bethesda is not planning any MMO. If they are, this has got to be the worst gaming news I ever heard... :[ Not that I have anything against MMO. Just think that TES universe and games should just stick with single-player experience. Look at World of Warcraft. That MMO completely annihilated Warcraft lore. I don't want the same thing happen to TES...

I cannot imagine they would end the series now. I agree that Skyrim will have a very long shelf life, with dlc and all. And I imagine we will see a new set of gaming consoles before we see TES VI.

I'm just hoping I can resist the urge to buy any consoles after this gen haha. I just need to get a nice PC and game in that fashion. Steam sales blow me away, but I'm currently on a mac and can't take advantage of most :sadface:

Lol no I'm sorry that was a bad joke. At one point right after Oblivion there was an interview with Bethesda's VP of marketing where he briefly "entertained" the thought of a MMO. It blew up into a huge rumor storm. Never going to happen.....i hope

oh boy, I am relieved. I knew there was some rumor about it and I never suspected that MMO would ever come for TES but you never know ~_~ I know there are some people who want TES to have some form of multiplayer feature which I find all too silly.

I heard a quote from one of the developers they we're seriously considering on holding Skyrim off until the next gen console's arrive. So I think it's a safe bet we won't see it until the next generation cycle.

You're probably right. We're typically getting a TES turn around of about 4-6 years which is about how long we should have to wait until the next gen of consoles. Oh goody, how I cherish the thought of having to spend hundreds of dollars more to play the next TES game. Well worth it though.

Well worth it for sure, although I think we're closer to a 2 year market. PsVita is here and the next Wii is seriously working for a 2012 release.

Going to be an interesting couple of years.

I sincerely hope they don't start releasing TES in 2 year intervals. 4-5 years is perfect to work out the chinks and master the game.

A new xbox is SUPPOSEDLY due in march of this year. ME WANT, or a PC rig.
