Most major gaming companies will start on the sequel to a game almost as soon as the current one is released. The amount of time it takes to make a game is usually long enough to hear all major critique about the current game, and incorporate any changes in the next one. It would not be farfetched to assume that right now, Bethesda at the very least has the major plot line and several side plots of Elder Scrolls VI nailed down. They may even already have a working demo for a few scenarios.
