Based on a bunch of math, a whole lot of research, and an examination of Bethesda's past methods, I have come to the conclusion that TES VI will be released no later then 2018, but after 2016. Other than that, here's some predictions of mine.

-It will probably be set in Hammerfell, you can check out my forum post on this. As much as I would like it to be in Akavir, Summerset, or some other very unique location, there's a lot of factors pointing it to being set in Hammerfell.

-I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY, HE/SHE WILL BE A PRISONER.

-It will almost surely be set shortly after the events of Skyrim.

-Due to the better hardware of the next gen consoles, I wouldn't be surprised if a DLC, (Or better yet, included in the game from the beginning.) added another province to explore.

-The Thalmor Story Arc will *hopefully* be wrapped up. (Come on Skyrim, why you no finish your own stories?)

-Probably no shouts.

-Dragons are a possibility.

-I wouldn't be shocked if they continued the very dark and gloomy graphic style from Skyrim. Although I don't like it, I'm not doubting it.

-It would be interesting if the player character wasn't some sort of prohescised hero. (In Skyrim you were the Dragonborn, in Morrowind you were the Neravine. In Oblivion, well I don't know. I guess you were kind of just a "normal" guy who saved a city. But the Emperor did say that he saw you in his dreams.)

-Ugh, I really hate this one. Vampires will continue to be very dumbed-down.
