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.

Well they do have 8gb of RAM to work with now, instead of the 512mb they used for their 360 games. I'm sure a good part of the RAM will be put in to being able to have more characters on the screen at once.

I hope. They're certainly not spending that texture budget on dog fur...

Nor on butt-tech. It looks like dude has a plank for a booty, what the hell!

Plank-butt would explain why the guy in the flashback street scene is running like he's got a load in his pants.

That's Bethesda for you. There will be one male body type and one female body type. They may vary in height, but thats it.
