No work, no reward. Ubisoft seem to manage it. They don't have to be main series games. Pick a moment in TES history. If Bethesda really wanted to they could.

Ubisoft have never made a game with the depth, detail and size of Skyrim. Far Cry was good, but 90 percent of it was just a huge forest. TES games need time. It's been a year and a half and all the DLCs still aren't here. Give them time.

I agree with this. Save Hammerfell for a full game set there. Dwemer ruins...

No more.

Please, no more.

But my point is the depth is already there. 1000's of pages of Lore to choose from. I'm not saying I want it (but I do cause more TES is great), all I'm saying they could if they wanted to.

Why rush to make new games when you can add new content to an existing game that has a rabid fan base? I'm enjoying the heck out of Skyrim right now and will gladly get in line for more DLC's. That gives them time to work on the next new game which will HOPEFULY come out with fewer bugs and deeper content. If they will use the time to make the game RIGHT I'm more than happy to wait for it.

I know but they couldn't do it within two or three years. TES games take ages to make.

Ubisoft milks their games just as much as COD. Far Cry 3 was the only decent one to come in a while and that was because they took their time to develop it.

Plus Ubisoft Montreal has over 2000 employees vs Bethesda Game Studios only having a mere 100

NOBODY can make games to the standard bethesda make them. We're always slagging them off but at the end of the day, they've created a huge amazing game with limited bugs to a measure of detail no other company could do. Sure Ubi have more employees but I doubt that they're nearly as good as Beth's.

Hammerfell already has a TES game. And they were never going to add an entire province in a DLC.

Correction, a tiny fraction of Hammerfell was in a TES game.

I'd rather High Rock, the new Orsinium (not included as Hammerfell) or Atmora as place for an expansion for Skyrim as they are better suited and have a lot less chance of being a likely candidate for a future game setting in the series. High Roch has little chance as it'll be too much like Skyrim and people would want something different.

High Rock was featured in TES II: Daggerfall, as was part of Hammerfell. Hammerfell was also featured in "TES: Redguard".

And the Empire and the Dominion both want a piece. Other than Alinor Hammerfell has the most story potential as of right now.

The Aldmeri Dominion isn't exactly interested in Hammerfell itself, they just want it so they can freely pass through it to attack the Adamantite Tower on the Isle of Balfiera.

I think Bethesda could take a leaf out of Ubisoft's book and release games a bit more often. Not every year like AC but every two maybe. They have the Lore, so it's just about coming up with a decent story.

Don't even mention Ubisoft, especially with what they did to the Might and Magic series. They basically took all the lore of the previous M&Ms, and threw it out the window. Liches are no longer the result of spell casters using a necromantic ritual to prolong their lifespan at the cost of their mortal body, but are now priests blessed by some spider goddess *cough*LolthRipoff*cough*. Vampires are no longer the result of a necromantic curse that spreads through bite, but are former Liches that were granted an improved body by their spider goddess. Wtf?

That's what I'm saying, Ubisoft can't beat Bethesda in terms of creating a world. It's just that Bethesda doesn't have much man power compared to other companies so expecting them to create a game of much greater caliber in a small amount of time is impossible.
