The issue isn't how the game looks, the issue is the problems it causes when you play the game

Just imagine. We wait all this time. And we get ES6 and it’s basically just fallout 76 in elder scrolls fashion ?

Just a hot mess

There's some very archaic coding methods they have to use with Gamebyro.. the engine overall is unstable, so much so, that they need to constnatly use little ricks to make it seem stable

I think you're being too pessimistic

yep

Everthing you're not looking at, things in their entirity are apparently unloaded and despawned

Because if everything was actually there, the game wouldn't run as well

Is it pessimism or just the expectations Bethesda have set up for themselves

Pessimistic is my middle name

No, that's Connah

That's a terrible middlename

Oof

Thats rude

you see if they were indie sure but they are big AAA there is no excuse for them using that stank ass engine

But fr tho.. usually I'd be for game deves using any engine they need and as needed, esp if it's inhouse or something @Novayon

But in this case, it's just..

Tom Howard doesn't want to invest in that

ive never liked that dude

or.. Todd, is it?

Todd

reminded me of peter molenu

WE GONNA HAVE BIG TREES AND HUGE WORLD SO HUGE ITS THE SIZE OF SPACE

like... I'd defend them, but.. the Skyrim remaster that was released a while ago..

It.. it was ltierally community mods

That graphically updated the game

They like Gamebryo because they are used to it, they know how the tools work and they allow them to get things done quickly...

thats no excuse

they are AAA not indie

I'm pretty sure Todd Howard likes Gamebyro..

Not sure what we can say for the devs themselves

it's a stressful, tedious engine

devs probably want to throw the engine out

For Fallout 76 we have changed a lot,” Todd Howard told Gamestar this year. “The game uses a new renderer, a new lighting system and a new system for the landscape generation. For Starfield even more of it changes. And for The Elder Scrolls 6, out there on the horizon even more. We like our editor. It allows us to create worlds really fast and the modders know it really well. There are some elementary ways we create our games and that will continue because that lets us be efficient and we think it works best.”

It sucks because I use to love Bethesda, and they actually aren’t far from me. I’ve visited Bethesda Maryland. But they have just been dropping the ball lately..
