I was a little apprehensive when news sources were suggesting that development of the next one was being done by a different subsidiary of Zenimax, who owns Bethesda, rather than Bethesda themselves. But, I have not been disappointed with any of the Elder Scrolls or Fallout games, so I think they'll make sure it lives up to similar standards, as well as the expectations. Did you play New Vegas? I didn't like it quite as much as 3, but it is very good and has the same feel. I just ran into more disappointing bugs on my second play-through and kinda lost interest. Still want to try again, though.
