I mean you’re right on both accounts, but it’s their determination to continue using that piece of shit engine that makes their games suck, especially on launch. If they would just scrap it entirely and build a new one from scratch, they’d be miles ahead of trying to keep that old yugo on the road by duct taping newer parts on and giving it a fresh layer of paint every now and then. People just keep giving Bethesda the benefit of the doubt.
