Seems insane that we're likely looking at 10+ years before Fallout 5, too

The show is going to have 5 seasons and have been canceled for 5 years before Bethesda cranks out another proper Fallout. I can't believe they wasted so much development time on Starfield. Modern development cycles are borked

Has nothing to do with development cycles. Bethesda has one team they let work on Starfield, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls. If each game takes 5 year to produce from beginning to end, that means there is at least 15 years between each entry to a given franchise... it's insane.

There is no reason Bethesda can't have a dedicated team for each franchise.

Or they can ask other Microsoft owned studios to play in their sandbox. They could get lucky and end up with a game on par with New Vegas.

Bethesda is more than capable of doing it themselves. Fallout 3 and 4 are phenomenal.
