I am willing to wait for a great game!! they did, once with arena, a second time with the recent ESO. Arena, for the DOS computer, was a much less detailed game with plenty of generic random-generated locations. Not to mention that it doesn't actually let us explore every inch of Tamriel (including hidden regions & outerlying islands; ex.: Solstheim is not present in Arena)

TESO, on the other hand, is still limited to certain Zones that don't actually span the entire of any of the 9 Provinces. Sure, there are some outerlying islands that we get to explore...but still not all of them. :P

Twigman55 is right, technically...and to add to it, it will take Bethesda much more than just 5-6 years to make a game spanning all of Tamriel with much greater detail than their 1 Province-spanning games. Bethesda would need a team around 8x the size of its current one to get a game of that size done in as short a time as possible with current technology.
