First, Skyrim is a great game. I'd say it's one of the real classics of the HD era.
It would be a damn shame if Bethesda stuck out another generation with their jalopy of an engine for Starfield. I was really hoping they were going to do a major overhaul, maybe even standardizing around ID tech. After Obsidian basically transplanted the Bethesda formula to Unreal Engine with Outer Worlds, it's not cool for Bethesda to stick with their broken, outdated shit.
Also, somebody at Playstation should do a Bethesda-style RPG on the Decima engine.
