I mean I'm a fan of elder scrolls. What's going to happen it its development cycle?

I mean if it got to 9 years between games, that eould be a big improvement for TES. Skyrim came out in 2011.

Exactly. What's going to happen? 30 yr dev cycles?

I guess Bethesda is banking on there being more Bethesda RPG fans than TES specific fans. Bethesda in space is coming this year, after all. Which is good in a way IMO, because it keeps things somewhat fresh.
