Some stuff about Havok, Fallout 4, and ESO.
So Elder Scrolls online ran on the Havok engine right? That would be why it says so after you start up the game. Havok is supposed to be some sort of realistic dynamic enginee or whatever so what if ESO was just to see what they could do with the Havok engine, and Fallout 4 will be on that engine? It would explain why ESO was nothing like Skyrim, and at E3 Todd Howard said that you would be able to build stuff and seetlements because of the engine and all so maybe ESO was just a test to see how well they could use the engine, so they knew whether Fallout 4 wouold work on it?

No. Fallout 4 runs on an enhanced version of the Creation Engine - Skyrims engine.

I knew the games were similar and some ways but they basically are gonna use the same engine as Skyrim? Where did you hear about this?

no gamebryo is a game engine that was in the oblivion paired with havock .. the creation engine its his own engine. that uses gamebryo phsysics and havocks mostly like skyrim did .. and the fallout 4 is a modefided creation engine with better ligthing

and havock has AI and animations to .

Havok is a *physics engine plugin* designed to work with a *game engine* - not a game engine itself.

Its a pre-made plugin form a third party developer that handles physics calculations. Similar to how Speedtree is a third party plugin that generates trees.

It saves each developer from having to code their own physiscs engine.

Lot's of games use Havok.

FO4 is on an updated version of the Creation Engine (used with Skyrim and which is an updated version of Gamebryo - which traces its lineage all the way back to Morrowind) designed to use more than 4 GB of memory (the limit of the older version as it was a 32 bit application).

Creation Engine uses the Speedtree, Havok, and RadiantAI plugins (among others).
