After Fallout 4, many Bethesda developers expected The Elder Scrolls 6 to be the studio’s next big game. Former Skyrim co-lead says that was what “most people wanted” at the time. Bethesda had a familiar cycle of Fallout → Elder Scrolls → Fallout, so TES 6 seemed like the obvious next step. But Todd Howard decided to make Starfield. “No, we’re doing Starfield,” Fallout 76 also took up much more of Bethesda’s time than originally planned, further delaying the next Elder Scrolls game. Kuhlmann says he personally would have preferred making TES 6 instead of Fallout 76 and Starfield, and believes many people at the studio felt the same way. Thanks Todd for wasting so many time in that game, we could have been playing TES VI already
