Unlikely, but probably more money and less mandatory crunch
They just go back to making Morrowind expansions
Tamriel Rebuilt is exactly that but better.
But it'd be funnier if the multi billion dollar company pivoted to developing stuff for a 20+ year old game
Are there any labor people who have commented on whether this looks like an actual strong union or is it somek ind of yellow union?
It seems they organized with CWA, which is a real union. CWA has been organizing heavily in game dev and tech for years now. For example the Alphabet workers union is CWA and they've worked closely with the no tech for apartheid campaign which is awesome. How strong the Bethesda local will be will depend on how active their members are.
Good
Hopefully they can push back against 
i dunno, man. maybe Elder Scrolls 6 might actually be worth playing now... when it comes out in 2030
Optimistic date
maybe, maybe not. they seem to be on 6 year development schedule for their single player games
i would rather it release later if they actually managed to unfuck the writing and engine though

Their last ~~2~~ ~~3~~ all since Skyrim games turned out to be turds or uninteresting by premise, so it's right fucking time to go back to their main money maker to probably fuck it too. But they fucking need to make it, be it to continue the win or to drive it into ground, the limbo on ES is one of the worst things ever in gaming imo.

First, they won't, it's bethesda. Starfield cleraly demonstrate that the can take all the time in universe and not improve basically anything. Also, that entire "release it later so it can be polished" is nonsense, entire game industry proven it time and time again.
Skyrim
it was trash too, actually. Morrowind was the last good one, which is fitting since it's the first of that style of Bethesda games.

let me dream that they decide to care again, goddamnit

No
Terrible writing, terrible mechanics (which, really, applies to both Morrowind and Oblivion, to be fair). Nothing notable about it.
Daedra quests and Dwemer ruins; Skyrim is (without any corrupting mods!) utter perfection
Yes
Morrowind was the last good one
fuckin right.
I enjoy having my Roleplaying games to have roleplaying mechanics without having to find 300 mods to get them, wild i know.
Morrowind
although...Daggerfall, my beloved. 
99% of Skyrim mods are dogshit and a waste of time
The updated vanilla game is a cornucopia of role-playing potential, embrace the contradictions of minimalism and imperfection
I never got around to finishing the main quest in Daggerfall. I should do that some day.
It's deliciously mixed into feudal politics and i adore it
Their last 2 3 all since Skyrim games turned out to be turds or uninteresting by premise
FO76 is decent if you're playing with friends. The story sucks but the game itself is fun to just fuck around in the fallout world with other people.
Yes, being online is main reason why it sucks, rest of it are just consequences.
yay!
no more half measures walter
