There had been some rumors of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion using the Unreal Engine 3, and if you've seen the screenshots in Game Informer that certainly didn't seem unlikely. The GI article didn't mention the engine however, so we asked Bethesda if they're using in-house tech or licensed the Unreal engine and got this answer "We're not licensing the Unreal 3 engine".

The devs posted on the official forums ( http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/ ) the day the game was officially announced (may have even been earlier, cant remember) that both Elderscrolls IV and Fallout 3 will share the same engine. An engine that they have been working on "in-house" for quite some time (probably since Morrowind was finished).

I was hoping it was Unreal Engine 3.0... then it would be one less map editor to learn.
Oh well.. still looks damn nice.
