Where I think things will really differ is a) The Thalmor winning and b) the 5th Era's "end of the world". I doubt Bethesda will stick to Kirkbride's writings on those, so that they can keep making TES games.

I think that the "end of the world" scenario will play out, but then a new kalpa is born that resets the world, in a way.
