Shirley Curry, aka the wonderful Skyrim Grandma, doesn't mess about. When asked by a fan during her recent PAX East 2022 Q&A panel about what she'd like to say to Elder Scrolls head honcho Todd Howard if he were here in person, she had one answer: "Hurry up and finish The Elder Scrolls 6." All right, she technically would have said hello first, but the point still stands.
"How about 'Hi'? No, I'd ask him to give me a cool game, and I'd ask him to hurry up and finish The Elder Scrolls 6. I want to play it before I die," she told PAX East attendees during her Saturday afternoon panel.
She also said she wants "more creepy stuff" in the next Elder Scrolls game, as when she's not playing Skyrim, she's a big fan of horror games.

"No. I don't know if I'll play Starfield or not. I'll have to wait until it comes out and see what it's like."
A very sensible approach if you ask me.
