I don't see why C0DA being the end of the world means it can't be believed, as no one says that it takes place immediately after Skyrim. There could be room for plenty of different adventures before it happens, and, failing that, we could always go back in time. I just think it's a load of BS in all honesty.

Bethesda will, at some point, kill off TES. I'm sure they have a team working on new ideas for RPG games to replace TES. The problem with fantasy games is the longer they become, the more they start tripping over their own lore. TES may go to TES X, maybe TESO was supposed to weaken the single player version on it's own and TES VI will be the last. It's all speculation, based on the towers theory not just being myth.

TES VI may start with the Thalmor ending the world, and your character acheiving CHIM. to time travel, to try and stop it. Again, this is the assumption that CHIM, and the Towers Theory, are both real. Bethesda will likely not kill off TES, TES is a game that can span for 20 more years if they want to. Also you need to keep in mind that they've already tripped over some of their lore since Zenimax bought them in 1999 and some of the things already doesn't match well from Arena to Skyrim. When you consider TES and Fallout being Bethesda's only two juggernaunts of game titles which for fallout could span for 20+ games while keeping things fresh because of different locations, i just don't see any real reason just to stop. Unlike Nintendo with Mario or Square Enix with FF, Bethesda can get away from making tons of TES / FO and keeping it fresh. I just think the whole towers things is a bit ridiculous and unlikely to happen. As far as i'm concern in TESVI thalmor will likely get stopped with the thanks of us as a hopeful plot point as it would make sense for us to be center of their demise, being chosen by the gods to stop the AD. I can't think of any real plot for TESVI with the prisoner being us to make sense.
