Guys comparing Gothic series to Elder Scrolls series is a sin. They are worlds apart.
Although I think the next Elder Scrolls will actually be good, not cuz of the graphics, but Bethesda knows what went wrong with Morrowind; the static world, boring NPCs, abysmal combat. They have stated numerous times in interviews that they are really trying to address these problems, hence the new "Radiant AI" which is very similar to Gothic's AI where each NPC has a 24 hour task schedule, the new dialogue system, and the new combat system.
