Allow me to start by saying that I only skimmed some of the responses, so if what I'm about to say has been stated then consider it reinforcement.

It was stated, rather openly, when they announced ESO that Zenimax Online is making the game (and moreover making it in the past) for the express purpose of allowing Bethesda to continue the story of TES forward in their chapters. I know the fear and stigma of WoW and SWTOR is among us all to some degree, but I don't think there's any reason for it. I think that Bethesda is going to work on a few other projects and give us TES fans some time to play through some ESO and get some backstory on a few things and then jump back into TES: VI. I expect that we'll see plenty of gameplay down the road for the series from Bethesda.
