I wonder if anyone will bother to pick up the engine and continue to work on it.

Bethesda has used it for YEARS - at least as far back as say Elder Scrolls 3.
I'd wonder if they'd be thinking about buying it.

Though, w/ Id Software under the same parent company (Zenimax), I'd wonder if BethSoft would rather use Id Tech 5.

I'm sure Bethesda is going to run with id Tech.

If they're smart, they will and they should.

I know in the past BethSoft has said they like GameByro b/c they find always found it very easy to make new content for.
