It'd be a smart move if a new Fallout came with every new Elder Scrolls release. I feel like we're almost guaranteed to see a Fallout using Skyrim's Creation Engine.

I'd be shocked if we didn't. Unfortunately, I suspect the next Fallout game will be developed by Bethesda, which means it will have terrible writing and balancing.

Actually, I wonder if we'll start to see an Infinity Ward/Treyarch type of relationship between Bethesda and Obsidian, where Bethesda develops the sequels in the series while Obsidian develops the spinoffs. I assume that Bethesda will start working on FO4 as soon as they finish Skyrim, so Obsidian may already be working on an Elder Scrolls spinoff to be released between Skyrim and FO4. If that's the case, it could be very interesting. Elder Scrolls with good writing, actual role-playing and meaningful choice? Sign me up.
