    Bet they won’t dump their old shit engine and have all the old bugs still present.

        It’s an absolutely atrocious engine that is horribly outdated. I’m not saying going over to unreal is the right decision but it’s about time they dumped that sunken cost turd for a new engine.

          Start fresh, and quit taping it together between games. It’s like they started with a row boat, made out of legos and duct tape. I’m not saying they need an aircraft carrier of an engine, but even if Bethesda had one, it’d still be made out of legos and duct tape. How about a schooner made of wood? Let’s start there.

          And then use that engine to pump out ES6 and fallout 5 then MAYBE consider upgrading the schooner and do 2 more games. I don’t think anybody was mad when Rockstar put out GTA 3, vice city, and San Andreas without huge visual upgrades. And nobody minded when Fallout 3 and New Vegas came out quickly and looked mostly the same graphically. I mean starfield STILL doesn’t have believable facial movements. The engine is absolutely holding them back, and slowing them down. It’s so cobbled together that there can’t possibly be more than 3-5 people left at Bethesda that really know how it “works” anymore.
