I know, couldn't be the truth; but . . . .
A) Elder Scrolls 6 must have at least cooporative play. Just PvE is not going to be acceptable! As a separate game it would then compete with ESO.Elder Scrolls 5 had several DLCs, each of which was primarily new content.
If you accept the gameplay of ESO (Maybe not perfect, but good), then Elder Scrolls 6 is just a massive DLC set in a different time frame than ESO.
If you imagine the ESO Elder Scrolls 6 DLC to include player housing (again, 100% speculation), then isn't ESO just multiplayer Elder Scrolls?
I'm just throwing this out. Can we have a discussion as to the challenges and opportunities this would present??

So no, ESO is not TESVI with multiplayer. ESO was also in development in 2007, same year as TESV

That's right, ESO is based on the franchise. Please let the Single Player TES Games out of this.
Please.
So you think Elder Scrolls 6 should be single player only?

I would say yes, definitely. I can't imagine being bothered by other players in a true TES game. I'm having a silly fun in ESO, but it's not even comparable to how much I enjoy single player TES games. No farming, no grinding, no leaderboards, etc. Just peace and quiet, me and NPCs.

Co-op mode is good as long as I'm not forced to participate in it. I remember hearing about ESO for the first time (before it was released) and I understood it like I could still play it as a single player game. I imagined there would be an option to turn other players invisible or something. I had no experience with MMOs and I was so disappointed when it turned out to be impossible.

That means it's going to be the death of good old TES games, so I hope it won't happen.

God I hope not, for the sake of the franchise. I LOVE eso for what it is, an MMO. I also love single player TES games for what they are. There's something about the raw beauty and immersion of a single player TES game.

see the problem with creating a single player game is this. It would sell I would buy it too. But it would take away from ESO and funding on that would go down since the new TES game would be the one to play. That being said they would possibly lose income in total from the gimp of ESO being that they want ESO to be a long running MMO I don't see them wanting to sabotage themselves by creating a new single player game. Unless ESO starts to die which I hope it doesn't. I wouldn't mind a single player TES game again however I believe(depending on how they do it) an expansion could be great as well.

I see what you're saying. But, these mega-corporations factor all of the financial impacts into their decision making. When ESO was being developed, which was partly alongside TESV, the suits had already discussed these issues. Outside of the ESO community, people are begging for a new single player game.
I'm quite sure that Bethesda has NOT yet tired of making copious amounts of money.

“Zenimax Online Studio is an MMO shop,” said Hines. “They’re making an Elder Scrolls MMO and that is 100% unrelated to [the single-player series]. Todd Howard, at this point, has earned the right to do what the hell he wants; nobody gets to tell him different and nobody gets to dictate to him what he gets to do.
“You’re laughing because you know it’s true. He gets to do whatever he wants. Him and his team are moving forward with the stuff that they want to work on and where they want to go next in making games. I get to see it and it’s already really awesome, but it’s probably helpful to note that anyone who thinks that what he’s working on next is going to be talked about soon doesn’t understand game development.
“Give these guys time and space: expect it never and be surprised if it’s any time before then.”

Won't happen, everyone has this convulted Idea that Zenimax Owns Bethesda and ZOS somehow has owenrship or pecking order rights over Bethesda and thats imply not true at all...infact nothing could be farther from the truth.
Fact Is:
1. Zenimax Media was created by Bethesda founders Christopher Weaver and Robert Altman.
2. Weaver made Altman CEO of Zenimax Media
This means Zenimax Media is actually nothing more then Bethesda Corporate and was created to manage the IP, acquiring new stuff, and the corporate day to day stuff so Bethesda could focus on developing games...in other words Zenimax Media handles the business, taxes, etc side of the company so Bethesda can make products.
in reality ZOS is a studio hired by Bethesda Corporate(Zenimax Media) to make an MMO for them with one of their IP.
When ESO announced their B2P go look at the videos, go see who was watching over Firor's shoulder during that interview...Pete Hines VP of Bethesda...Bethesda has always been calling the shots from day one, ZOS and that studio are simply employees of Bethesda.
In business its quite common for larger companies to create corporate entities under a different name to pool certain resources under in order to make managing all the companies resources easier.

Simply put, Since the co-founder of Bethesda is the CEO of Zenimax Media, Zenimax Media is simply another name for Bethesda Corporate, if and when TES6 comes out is whenever Bethesda feels like releasing it, i do know Bethesda is using ESO as a time filler for the new IP Bethesda has been working on since 2014 so take that for what you will.

What does ESO need to capture the PVE charm of a TES game?
-More sandbox
-more choice (you have to join fighters guild and mages guild and now thieves guild to gain their skillpoints from quests and level them up for their abilities)
-A more alive world (NPC don't have schedules like TES games have has since TESIV)
-Quests with decisions that actually impact the game world (hard to do in an MMO - but ESO already has phasing)
-How many times I had quests leveling up where they sent me to talk to the dude next to the quest giver then fetch something next to those two dudes (epic quest bro)
-Modding (won't ever happen as they need to milk us for pet, horse and costume sales plus not really possible in an MMO, I just hate their horrid costume designs)
Just a few I could think of.

Zenimax owns Bethesda not the other way around budzenimax was founded in 1999 and Bethesda was created as a subsidiary of zenimax in 2002 so you are wrong in that aspect
EDIT: so Bethesda couldn't possibly create zenimax seeing as zenimax came out 3 years before Bethesda.
also ZOS is another subsidiary of zenimax media to manage ESO.
