Bethesta has the worst of both worlds.

Big budget of cash; small budget of time and talent.

They take like 10 years to release a game

They have plenty of time, just not the talent or vision to do anything good with it. Their stories are extremely bare bones, the bugs are prolific, and the power creep is more a power slide straight into godhood by level 15 because of the short main quests.

10 years not enough time for their level of skill. ;)

It doesn't. You can do so much more in an isometric world than a 3D one. Modern games are more about the game engine than the game itself.

Spruce up some old school MUDs, imo. Make the original Legend of Zelda, but massively upgraded for what you can do with today's tech. (Similar to Bastion, I suppose.) There's a lot of room for a triple A game similar to Albion Online.
