I'm currently reading the first Keyes novel. Not terribly impressed but I'm giving it a chance. I heard that there were plans for two novels. Do you think they're waiting for the second novel before releasing TES5? Maybe something happens in the novel that is integral to the story of Skyrim. While I would be impressed that Beth is actually holding up a game to focus on its story, I haven't heard much about the second novel and I suppose that means we have to wait even more.
This is speculation, we have no information on either the next novel or the next game so please usehttp://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1110982-official-tes-v-speculation-thread-61/
