@Jaredpwnsu, the Elderscrolls series pretty much build further on the previous game, the events of the previous games are always somewhat told in the next game, especially in Skyrim where there is plenty of lore about the Oblivion Crisis.

My point with it is that if it would be following on Skyrim, you would need to play it to enjoy TES6 to the fullest, since there are some things you won't really understand in Skyrim if you haven't played Oblivion. And since I only play video games in the little spare time I have, I lack the time or will to play an MMO. With it being set 1000 years before that line of events, the impact of it on the next ElderScrolls game (hopefully) won't be as severe as an MMO set between Skyrim and TES6
