Are they still using the same engine as Skyrim?

[Cornelius Edgerton]

Please tell me they are not... it's a ♥♥♥♥♥ engine that is buggy and outdated.

[Schlumpsha]

The very same with a different version number on it.

For £ck sake...

From what little I've read it's their engine and they continuously build on it.

Makes no sense they would be using a different engine.
And I heard it's designed especially for modders so it works out I guess.

This Engine is 25 Years old (1997), and has been showing its age for half of that, its why we have so many issues with it... sure.. its good for us modders and all.. but its so damn jank but we are used to beth doing the bare minimum and letting the community fix it at this point so why should they spend money doing the right thing.

Just enjoy the stories and sandboxes they make.. though they have a lot to contend with and if they fail again.. i recon tod will make a hasty exit.

It's the same engine since morrowind with a few more tricks to hide its age.

Right I get that but other developers are doing the same thing, developing their own engines and they plan to build on them as time goes on.

I have little experience with Ubisoft so I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just that others are doing the same thing. It seems to be the future.

Dude... UE 5 i pretty much UE 4 with some improvements. They did not build new engine from scratch. Old engine does not mean obsolete, outdated or useless.

[Humble]

Hopeful not too much bug, I mean, skyrim had ton of bug, some major break gameplay, but later, fallout 4 come out, but less bug, so hopeful this time way less bug than fallout 4, but I don't know, wait and see.

Yeah, but you can only fix a thing to a certain extent, after which you'll just have to build a completely new one.

TES VI is also going to be using this engine, which will be about 30 years old at that point.

Thats like saying Unreal Engine has been the same since 1998... Which is rather daft...

The engine has received one of its biggest upgrades ever - Think the jump from Morrowind to Oblivion but relative to Fallout 4 being 'Morrowind'...

... And many people will be playing it on Windows OS and CPUs from Intel... so?

Which means the same thing. If it works well, use it.

I still have my 1995 Toyota Truck I bought brand new. It still works well.
