No... The Elder Scrolls is the last decent SPRPG series on the market. I don't want it to end.

Petty sure that Firor said exactly the contrary.

And dear God, discontinue the Elder Scrolls? You have to be joking...

That last comment my dear friend is bordering on sacrilege.....as the previous two poster said it is the last good SRPG. I hope they don't stop making them.

Really? There are many decent SPRPGs out there. TES is one of the only good true open world SPRPGs, maybe. But that is because it has [censored] competition. Hell since Morrowind i have yet to see anything that is really even that impressive from the Elder Scrolls series besides a few books and DLC. I hope another dev comes in and makes a game that causes TES to worry and have to compete. They need a lot of improvement imo. I feel like they will only be complacent after Skyrim's success.

There are great games like The Witcher 1 and 2, Demons Souls and Dark Souls, Dragons Dogma, Dragon Age: Origins and various others. Fallout is technically a SPRPG as well with FPS elements. Obvious those games are just my opinion but maybe you should go try a few different games? TES is far from the only decent SPRPG out there imo. I actually have a hard time calling Skyrim decent. But I sure as hell don't want the series to end.

To expand on this now that I'm not typing on my cell....

What exactly is your line of thinking for such a thing? In what bizzaro reality would something like this ever be a good idea? The success of the Elder Scroll series are what's allowed ESO to come to realization in the first place. People love these games. Can you imagine the conversation that would have to take place in Zenimax's office?

ZM CEO: Well guys, we've made a TON of money from the Elder Scrolls Online! The fans are happy, the investors are happy, and we have plenty of capital to invest both into ESO as well as other projects.
Matt Firor: Thanks! It was a lot of work, but it wouldn't have been possible without the ES fanbase's support, and Todd's teams' work on the ES series which gave us the template for the online world we've built.
Todd Howard: We were happy to do it, Matt, and we're glad to see that you've turned our world into such a success. So, ZM CEO, how about that next installment of TES? My team's itching to create another awesome new game.
ZM CEO: Yeah, about that Todd... We're cancelling the Elder Scroll series, firing you and your entire staff and instead are going to focus our attention on the MMO. Thanks for allowing us to get to this point, Todd, really.
Todd Howard: WHAT?!?! MMOs only have a given lifespan! It WILL eventually die out, given enough time! The single player installments can go on almost indefinitely!
ZM CEO: Pack your bags and GTFO.
Matt Firor: *Awkward silence*

I dunno about you, but this makes perfect sense to me...

I wonder how long until the new forums open..

What happened to: "We are not ready to talk about it yet?"

Time to commence a Cartman from that southpark episode with the Wii lol. Just wake me up when the release comes out.
