I don't think it's Elder Scrolls. ES games take 4-5 years to make, does that mean we'll wait for another 3 years for launch? Unlikely. I think ESV is being made at least for 3-4 years and is bound to make an appearance at next year's E3.

Oh, and Bethesda, plz make the next ES game more like Morrowind and less like the utterly dissapointing Oblivion.

It is Elder Scrolls 5.

Todd already explained why it comes out relatively quickly. It's because with both Morrowind and Oblivion they launched to brand new tech early in a console generation. This time having made Oblivion and Fallout 3 already they're much more familiar with the tech. Plus Todd also explained how they now develop games in parallel, they started with pre-production on the current project even before Fallout 3 was released.

If we get an announcement in October (which I predict), then expect a release in Fall 2011. That would be 3 full years since Fallout 3, compared to 3 years and 11 months between Morrowind and Oblivion. So it all makes sense.
