The short version

  • That's according to Kurt Kuhlmann, a lead Skyrim developer and the fantasy series' former loremaster, who told the FRVR podcast that Bethesda is apparently too protective over its golden goose to let anyone else tackle a mainline-style game.
  • Kuhlmann said Fallout: New Vegas - often considered the best Fallout game in many circles - created lots of discussion around which company did it best.
