An Obsidian Elder Scrolls Spin-Off Is Something We Deserve But Never Got

Screen Rant

It was revealed Bethesda turned down Obsidian's offer to make FNV style entries of the Elder Scrolls, prompting speculation of what could have been.

Bethesda rejected Obsidian's proposal for Elder Scrolls spin-offs that would have served as bridges between the main games, similar to Fallout: New Vegas.
The spin-off games would have allowed for further exploration of the Elder Scrolls universe, taking place in the same main universe or even divergent timelines.
Despite Bethesda's rejection, there's hope for the idea to be realized since both Obsidian and Bethesda are now owned by Microsoft, presenting new opportunities for the franchise.
