Not to bash Skyrim or Oblivion with this, but the events of Oblivion gave the series an epic setup for whatever the next game would be, and they squandered it by setting the game two hundred years after all that. I would have made the main quest start in Skyrim two weeks after the crisis, where all the provinces are still reeling from it. Then the next game would take place in about the same timeframe from the other end of the continent in the Summurset Isles where they try to get their own empire up and running.
Not really.....Oblivion ended the ability for anything from Oblivion to threaten (at least for a long time) there isnt really an 'aftermath' of that. Skyrim was the reboot.
All four previous games were set as the trials of Uriel Septium's life, first being imprisioned, then the War in the West, Fall of Battlespire, defeat of Dagoth Ur and finally with all those events leading ot enough Towers falling for Mehnrunes to breakthrough. Oblivion ended that story, Skyrim is set so far after so the series can do some new things....in that case dragons.
Skyrim is a reboot...no doubt about it.
