then when it is released, it will be ten miles wide and an inch deep, with the same bugs and gameplay mechanic hangups that plagued oblivion, and the story on a par with fallout 3 (we took all previous games, mashed them together and threw in a generous dose of bland and anticlimactic; enjoy). All paid reviewers will sheepishly praise it while counting their advances, bethesda fanbois will cream, and people who still remember what an rpg should be will nerdrage on various forums and get banned.
In six months, bethesda will attempt something else, like the next installment of fallout. Obsidian will once again be the real force behind the project, and the same paid reviewers will sheepishly assure us that "this will be nothing like skyrim, and in fact isn't skyrim with guns." oddly enough, people will believe them because obsidian did a pretty decent job on new vegas. And all shall be well again.
