Everyone, breathe a collective sigh of relief.

At the end of an article about the Elder Scrolls Series at TVG, there's a quote from Pete Hines which seems to indicate that ZeniMax's MMOG might not be set in either of their current big-name franchises.

"I think there is a huge difference between what a single-player game can offer and what an MMO can offer," adds Hines, "they are very different types of games and experiences. As you can see with Oblivion and the upcoming Fallout 3, the folks making those games are still very interested in expanding what can be done in a single-player game."
