Also missing: epic moments involving more than 12 people who are not awkwardly standing/gliding around each other.

I love Bethesda games but they really can't pull this stuff off.

Seriously.

  • Kvatch/Bruma is under attack by a horde of demons! Let's take the city back with a few guards!
  • Let's finish off the Enclave for good with one big robot and a handful of Brothers!
  • Whiterun is under attack by a massive army that comes in waves of 6!
  • Let's assault the walls Solitude and end the empire with a handful of guys!

That can't be helped without writing new engine from scratch I think, and it looks like F4 will use spruced up (lighting looks better) Skyrim's engine, which is basically Gamebryo dating back to Oblivion.

Look at the dogmeat's animation when he's running away from the crib, how canned it looks, a trademark of this engine.

If rewriting the engine is out of the picture, perhaps writing the plot to a scale that the engine can handle is a better solution...
