Bethesda, it's way past time to move on from Creation Engine. Waaaay past time.

But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

@vegtabill The entire time I've been playing, I've been thinking "Man, just imagine what this game could have been like if they'd moved to Unreal Engine."

Agreed! The game has a ton of potential, but it was poorly executed mainly because of the limitations of the dinosaur that is Creation Engine. FFS, it's 2023, and I'm spending a large portion of my time in loading screens! Very disappointing.

@vegtabill Indeed. The game has absolutely failed to live up to the hype. A bunch of walled gardens separated by loading screens ain't the exploration I was promised. I did expect something like what it is, just not this much. At least they worked with Id to get the gunplay feeling right. I didn't expect No Man's SkyXBethesda, but yeah, disappointing how much time is spent in the menu/loading screen. I'm still enjoying it, but this shouldn't have a chance at serious GOTY contention.

I just uninstalled the game. I've had enough. And honestly, I may be done with Bethesda. TES6 is also Creation Engine, and I imagine it's going to be just as bad if not even worse. Bummer.

@vegtabill I'm starting to think I might be doing the same soon. Game has developed a nasty bug on my Series X where every 15-20 mins, walking through a door freezes the game on the load screen. Tried all the usual things all the way up to a console reset and no dice "fixing" it. It's not unplayable.. quite.. but I might be mainlining the story just so I can say I saw "the end", instead of playing it like I have been.
