Over the past twelve months there have been a number of suggestions orrumoursthat pointtowards the next Elder Scrollsbeing a direct sequel to 2011's Skyrim. Many believe that this would be a great idea, given its success, but is that really want we want?

In reality, this same point could've been raised following Oblivion or even Morrowind. Both were hugely popular during their time, but luckily Bethesda steered clear of taking that easy way out.

Fortunately, when asked about the speculation surrounding 'Skyrim 2', Pete Hines commented that a direct sequel was considered "too easy" and "not how we view" the continuation of such a powerhouse series.

So while the idea of returning to the snow-swept landscapes of the gorgeous Skyrim may be an attractive concept, remember you can dig out your old save file instead. The Elder Scrolls VI simply must take us somewhere new!
