I think it's going to be quite evident in at least a year or so, depending on whether or not Bethesda decides to release a teaser-trailer for TES VI, as to how much time they might be spending on developing it.

I'm willing to bet that they're going to spend a total of 6 or 7 years in developing TES VI, so they definitely will have more time to bring great depth to more characters within each settlement/city than before. Not to mention more time to flesh out & bring amazing detail to a relatively larger total Provincial area than before.

Do I believe that Bethesda can do a much better job with more characters (& content in general) in an area almost 40% bigger than Skyrim's total area? YES, of course they can.

^ Especially since the game will be available for both more sophisticated PCs & as well as the PlayStation 4 & Xbox-One. The game will definitely be able to handle more.
