Personally I think Bethesdas approach to their game design is EXTREMELY dated and frustrating. Also they made Fallout 76, one of the most dog shit games I ever played.

They need some new talent making decisions on their games to make them more modern. The problems they have in their games should be inexcusable from a "AAA" studio in 2023.

They're still using the same engine they've used since Morrowind. That's a big reason their games feel dated. As for Starfield itself it tries to do a lot of things but it doesn't do anything perfect. Everything it does there are other games that do better.

Fortnite uses the same engine as Unreal Tournament from 1999! How could they?!

Say what you want about fornite, personally I don't play it, but in its current state fornite is a beautiful looking game.

Yep. I don't play it either, but it looks great. UE5 can look amazing, but it's built up from the engine they made for UT in '99. People don't understand engines.
