What's stopping them from moving to a new engine?
>>343804131
they don't need to, they make enough money already
Effort
they are way too comfortable with what they have now
Modding support
They're doubling down on modders now, a new engine would be a massive pain to turn into something as moddable
They'd have to learn how to use a new one. Though they don't even seem to really know how to use the engine they're currently using but it would be even worse I imagine with a new one. Plus they're expected to release mod tools so they'd have to start from scratch with that with a new engine and depending on licensing they might not even be able to do some things at all.
>not getting id software to develop a new engine for them
>one of the best engine dev teams in the industry
I have no idea. They own id now. They've got the masters of engine programming in their fold. You'd think they'd take advantage of that.
effort
They don't have to since their fanbase will accept it no matter what.
>b-but it's a Bethesda game, what did you expect
etc

Who at id is even still there from the early days? Carmack was their lead programmer but is gone now. idtech6 does look pretty cool though and seems pretty well made judging by Doom.
I'm interested in the changes Arkane did to it for Dishonored 2. Apparently they rewrote 75% of the engine to fit their purposes.
>yfw Elder Scrolls VI is on the same engine and the combat system is unchangedI'll probably throw myself off a roof tbqh
>we don't have the technology for Elder Scrolls 6 yet
what did he mean by this

When you work with someone like Carmack you pick things up. Most likely id as a company is one of the best engine programming companies just by the early id devs having been there at all.
>>343804131
people keep buying their games, so they don't have to.

Top talent attracts other top talent.

The main reason is customization. The engine is actually really moddable and updatable. Early leaks for TES6 have already shown that they plan on adding full environmental destruction and such.
Without the engine mods would be nowhere near as numerous as they are. Would you really want a more stable engine and about 5000 less mods?

Basically it's gonna take awhile to develop the destruction and construction system. Todd is a big fan of minecraft and wants to turn TES6 into Minecraft 6.0 pun intended.
>>343804131
The one they have now does what they want.
If it aint broke don't fix it.

>Would you really want a more stable engine and about 5000 less mods?
Yes? It's the developers job to deliver a quality product, not the modders. I don't want a mod sandbox, I wan't a proper game.

No....

>If it aint broke
But that's just it. It is broken.
>>343807307
It's broke as fuck though
>>343804131
Why work?
Why not let the community work for you and then ca$h out on it?
>>343804131
>new engine
Cognative dissonance for the most part.
Learning a new tool set is a pain. Becoming effective with a new tool set takes time. Going with what you know is easy.
>>343806965
>Early leaks for TES6
nigger they haven't even started working on the fucking game yet, what leaks?
>>343808326
That has nothing to do with cognitive dissonance.

>creation engine
>not broken as fuck
So you've never played a Bethesda game before?
>>343804131
Isn't Creation a new engine?
>>343809793
built on terrible foundations
>>343809793
No. They just wanted to rename Gamebryo to Creation Engine so it wouldn't be as awkward.
>>343809085
Every one since Morrowind.
Not seeing the same issues as you I guess.

Why would you lie on the internet?
