It Took Them 19 Years To Add Fishing To The Elder Scrolls

Morrowind even had fishing poles. No way to use them, though. Luckily, it appears we'll finally have actual fishing in Bethesda's RPG series with The Elder Scrolls Online (wading into the water and hitting the use key over fish in Skyrim doesn't count). Also, crafting and loot and stuff. TES Online is coming in 2013.
