With the next Elderscrolls still being 5-6 years away, what games can you recommend to scratch that itch

Enderal for a whole new world in the Skyrim engine. New map, new creatures, new spells, new items, pretty much nothing is unchanged and it's really well done.

Kingdom Come Deliverance for a more hardcore and true-life fantasy RPG

Oblivion if you haven't played it, just needs a texture mod for the most part.

Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen

Witcher 3

Cyberpunk 2077 if you don't mind non-fantasy.
- I can't believe I've never heard of Endral. This is so exciting.
  
  Be prepared. I love Enderal but it is unforgiving. Not to say it's bad, but it's following a different design ethos than Bethesda's Elder Scrolls.
  
  Also prepare for an emotional roller coaster
- Kingdom Come Deliverance is probably the best RPG I've played.
  
  Yeah, it's proper good.
Play skyrim with the ordinator mod, it's basically a different game with huge talent trees and vastly more options for how to play.
- I've used it. it's not that different.
  
  It's basically better talent trees, not all that different.
  
  For an actual different experience you need mods like Apocalypse (155 new spells) and most importantly the mod that instakills you if try to play a stealth archer.
Witcher 3
Skyrim lol
Morrowind is most obvious choice.

However if you want something new, eurojank games tend to scratch same itch to me if you can tolerate unpolished game mechanics until you get used to it. Two Worlds 2 and Elex 1 is great games to start with.
Outward is the singleplayer RPG of the last few years I enjoyed the most I think.

Some of the other open world RPG Series, like two worlds, Gothic or Elex, if you havent played those yet.

Reexperiencing Morrowind in Multiplayer is also quite fun.
Skyrim lol
I really enjoyed Tyranny, not exactly scrolls-like but the story felt ES like.
Skyrim lol
