Curiousity killed that cat so im dying to know why this has occured if Beth is so secretive. I do know fallouts being developed by someone else but the fact that it was announced so early when that goes against everything us ES fans were lead to believe. I wont be a complete homer and ill offer a possible reason, the fact that there is a new "it" shooter game every month may be the reason they need to keep fallout fans so interested. While epic sandbox games come only when a new ES is released. Still i dont understand the motive for the holdout im beginning to feel most of you are also feeling like the unwanted step child who gets served last and has to do the dishes.

No,not really.
Bethesda working on something and with obsidian working on new vegas than they can devote all their love to this project.

I'd rather see they took their time and make it the best game they possibly can, than rushing it out because some fans are annoyed. It'll be announced when the time is right.

Speculation about the release of the next TES game is here please.
