No more Oblivion after Shivering Isles

All of you that are excited for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and their expansion pack Shivering Isles (set in the Realm of Madness, domains of Lord Sheogorath), you won't have much else to be excited about once that expansion pack rolls to an end. Why? Well, Bethesda's Peter Hines has come out and said that there won't be anything else for the game.Quoting is fun: "Shivering Isles is our last big thing: it's our first and last expansion for Oblivion. Work pretty much started on Shivering Isles once Oblivion was done. We started looking at what we wanted to do, where we wanted to set it, all that stuff. It pretty much started last March." Rumor is that Bethesda has its hands full preparing the PS3 version of Oblivion as well as Fallout 3, so they'd like to move forward instead of continue to mess around with something that's already considered by many to be great. Oh well. Expect an Elder Scrolls V in a few years.

"Rumor is that Bethesda has its hands full preparing the PS3 version of Oblivion as well as Fallout 3..."
Don't you mean the PSP version of Oblivion?

No, the PSP version was farmed out to another dev. Author meant exactly what was written.

No problem. I'd rather they get to work on Elder Scrolls V. Oblivion has sucked enough out of my life.

"Oh well. Expect an Elder Scrolls V in a few years."
I think I'd change one little part in that sentence:
"Oh Well. Expect [Fallout 3] in a few years."
ES-V? who knows- next decade?

I loved Morrowind (ES-III?) but Oblivion (I played on PC) never really grabbed me like Morrowind did.
I think the fault is probably more with WoW and my former addiction to it, but none the less I fear my Morrowind experience will never be duplicated.
Anyway, I think them stopping work on Oblivion is a good thing, the next Fallout should be amazing and I will buy and play the next Elderscrolls even if I have to buy a PS5 or Xbox1080 to do it.
