This is confirmation The Elder Scrolls 6 was about the Thalmor winning & TES7 would have been the game that finishes the Thalmor story (Second Great War). The Elder Scrolls as a franchise has been so grossly mismanaged & it’s depressing to know TES6 isn’t even close to release. I don’t blame him but he kind of hits on a valid point: “In any case, he could also say, well, that was a long time ago, things changed. And he’s definitely right that things changed, and the role of lead on TES 6 is very different from the role of lead on Skyrim.” Yeah 11 years is a lot. Plenty of time for things to change. He also probably shouldn’t have been promised it if it was gonna be that long I’m also curious, with everything I hear about the volatility of the games industry, I’m a little surprised someone would leave a stable job of 20 years
