With the rising popularity of The Elder Scrolls Online, I can imagine that the next installment may feature an earlier era, instead of the usual jump of 2-3 centuries into the future. Maybe as one of the renegade Blades 50 years before TES5, surviving and hunting remaining dragons. It'd also save Bethesda a lot of trouble not having to incooperate the fate of the Dragonborn that way. If I were Bethesda, that'd make sense to me. Making TES6 feature in an untold era, while making a RTS to deal with the almost inevitable Thalmor - Empire war. A hero driven one.
