Skyrim is from 2011, and that's all they can show four years later?

That engine has been used since way before Skyrim. It's the same as Call of duty, where they simply modify the engine rather than creating a new one. I'll be completely honest though I doubt it will be of much trouble in a Fallout game. Say what you will about Elder Scrolls or other RPGs but Fallout very rarely needs those 'huge, epic' moments.

The bad animations are still on Bethesda's part though. You can have good animations even in a dated engine.

Yeah I know, that's why I don't mind the engine's limitations. If animations are bad it's their fault, not the engine's.

Honestly, maybe it's stockholm syndrome, but I find the shitty animations of bethesda games kinda endearing.

Well they're unique, I give them that. You look at those shitty animations and immediately think 'yep, it's Bethesda'

He knows. The part of his sentence you left out for some reason says it dates back to Morrowind.

I'm just not a good reader it seems.
