Chris Avellone, the former chief creative officer and co-founder of Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment, has revealed that the company tried to make an Elder Scrolls game in a similar vein. In a thread (https://x.com/ChrisAvellone/status/1736609878133850431?s=20) confirming an old tweet uncovered by 80 Level (https://80.lv/articles/bethesda-declined-obsidian-s-proposals-to-develop-the-elder-scrolls-spin-offs/), Avellone discussed details about the proposal.

He also compared the idea (https://x.com/ChrisAvellone/status/1736610507573047637?s=20) to the way Infinity Ward and Treyarch handled alternate Call of Duty games during that generation, with Bethesda developing a main game and Obsidian working on something that would offer more Elder Scrolls adventures, like Fallout: New Vegas did for that series.
According to Avellone, the idea didn't gain traction with Bethesda, and he suggests that the Starfield studio wasn't happy with the reception that Fallout: New Vegas received, "good and bad."
Although Fallout: New Vegas has become highly regarded over the years since its release, there was initially some backlash toward the game due to bugs and game breaking issues (https://www.destructoid.com/the-first-fallout-new-vegas-patch-is-out-on-pc/).
After years of patches and updates, Fallout: New Vegas has gotten the recognition that it deserves. It's disappointing to think of what we could have had if this had ultimately panned out. It has been over a decade since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released, and it doesn't look like we'll get to play The Elder Scrolls VI anytime soon (https://www.destructoid.com/the-elder-scrolls-6-is-now-in-early-development-bethesda-confirms/).
If only we had an Obsidian-developed Elder Scrolls game to fill the decade plus gap between releases. It seems like Bethesda missed a trick with that one. Maybe Obsidian's (remarkably Elder Scrolls looking) fantasy RPG, Avowed (https://www.destructoid.com/avowed-is-a-new-fantasy-rpg-coming-from-obsidian-entertainment/), can fill that hole in my heart.
