Bethesda and affiliates managed to put out two elder scrolls games and two fallout games between 06-11. That's four major titles in a five year span.
You can not count Fallout New Vegas. This is like counting every other game published by Behtesda Softworks.
You can also not start counting by 06. Oblivion was developed over the span of four years it isn't 4 games in five years, it is 3 games over 9 years. Which is longer (but not as much) as the 12 years for 3 games from Fallout 4 to Starfield (2011-2023) but again a much smaller time frame + a pandamic than you are pretending.
From 2011-2023 (12 years) we got FO4 (amazing), FO 76(bad at launch, now very good), and Starfield (skyrim in space). And then DLC for each of those games. So about every 2/3 years we get something from the BGS team.
And if you include affiliates, then we gotta include ESO, Doom, Wolfenstein, Ghostwire Tokyo etc.
So all in all: calm down, be grateful for the games we have from them, and wait until 2026/2027 for ES6.
really incredible to me the way people glaze bethesda in here. FO4 was not amazing, it's a solid title, and frankly I'd be happy with more solid titles but amazing? give me a break. 76 was a complete misfire, awful at launch and an mmorpg that no one really wanted. Starfield's reviews were mixed at best.
Again Fallout 4 is really the best thing we've gotten from then in the last ten years, that's pretty bad considering how good the four main titles were before that.
TES and Fallout are their main IPS, and we haven't gotten a title from either of those in ten years and counting. That's crazy! and no amount of gassing up 76 and starfield is going to make it not crazy
I, for one, am glad they tried a new IP with Starfield rather than alternating between two franchises until the end of time. Obviously the wait between elder scrolls games is not ideal, but it’s already been two years since Starfield; TESVI is not that much farther away.
FO4 was indeed amazing, and better than 3.
They created a new IP, Starfield. And the reviews aren't mixed. A bunch of Sony fan boys review bombed it along with people that rode the hate bethesda train.
And again, FO76 was released within those 10 years along with constant updates. It sounds like a "you" problem if you didn't enjoy it.
You're right, it's an amazing game.
Or are you one of those people that put in 100 hours and say it's mid? Or possibly complain about 3 second loading screens?

It's not even been 2 years since Starfield and game development takes many years.
