The maker of the Elder Scrolls series as well as the hugely successful Fallout 3 had suggested in the past that it would return to Elder Scrolls next and while Howard’s comments suggested that may not be the case, he did offer the concession that an Elder Scrolls MMO was still a possibility. Asked if an MMO was a possibility he told the audience at QuakeCon “there’s always a chance.” He did, however, confirm that the development team will not be making any more Fallout 3 DLC and that “we are working on our next big game but we are not talking about it.” So, what could Bethesda be working on? It’s already expanding into the publishing world with games like Wet and Rogue Warrior on the horizon as well as Fallout: New Vegas from Obisidian, but that still leaves the dev team with their hands free. Perhaps we can find out more at gamescom this week. http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1056/long-wait-for-elder-scrolls-v http://loot-ninja.com/2009/08/16/no-new-elder-scrolls-title-for-a-while/

I'm pretty sure like... four months or something before Oblivion was even announced, Todd there is no TES news to talk about. Don't quote me word for word, but I believe it was something like that. Of course, back then Bethesda wasn't quite the cash cow that it somewhat is now.

I didn't mean an outright cash cow like M$ or anything... but I think their quality has dipped since Morrowind. Granted, FO3 is a very good game. Much better than Oblivion in my opinion.

... Huh. Posts: 1,643 Group: Member Member #351 Joined: April 24, 2008	Their ambition in terms of game quality took a dip after Daggerfall as well. Fallout 3 however indeed seems like a good sign. What with the DLCs and all, I'm happy they're not Maxis, trying to milk every last penny out of their products. Personally I think Maxis (or SABAM. That's the Belgian copyright organisation. Damn they're cash cows. Why should people pay to LISTEN TO MUSIC IN THEIR OFFICE?) is a bigger cash cow than Microsoft. Edited by Gilboron, Aug 17 2009, 10:45 AM.

Agreed. And I think they're moving onto the DLC bandwagon instead of releasing true expansion packs and that's why they release so much.

They still released SI, which I believe garnered much more attention and positive feedback for them. After that Knights of the Nine which is what I think a good DLC should be like, just maybe not $10

Budding Lyricist Posts: 2,792 Group: Member Member #394 Joined: May 19, 2008	I still would rather they made expansions as well as DLC. Bloodmoon and Shivering Isles kicked ass. Tribunal was fun too, but just not on as massive a scale as BM.

	In the reflection of your glasses lies the luminescent screen of the television projecting unto your synapses the distorted vision from behind the eyes of corporate contrivances pleading between their cold metal fingers for control which in your advertisement-enslavement you repay tenfold whilst the world spirals into oblivion around your desensitized body and in this cacophonous euphoria we all die and we all die alone.
