    I’ve never understood this argument, most game engines are based on 20+ year old technology and have been updated throughout the years. Can the creation engine be improved upon? Definitely yes, but the engine’s age has almost nothing to do with it.

      Their point is that the engine doesn’t show signs of being improved upon during that time and is still stuck feeling like a 20 year old engine.

        If you mean just the Creation Engine, that was 2011.

        If you trace it back to Gamebryo, then Morrowind was 20 years ago, but I don’t think that one can say that even Skyrim looks much like Morrowind.

          Skyrim literally had some of the same exact problems that Morrowind had.

          Personally I want them to keep the creation engine, if only for the stellar mod support. But let’s not kid ourselves, it desperately needs an overhaul.
