The creation engine is, that engine may have been built on even older software tho

It is based on Gamebryo which was initially released first in 03 with an earlier version under the name NetImmerse released in 97

Gamebryo is the core engine, because you can technically open 76 files with the Morrowind mod tools

And the source code for that is from 97 at the earliest

Assuming it reused NetImmeres's

Probably some spaghetti code from 1997 there

Bethesda needs to learn what CryEngine is

Or even Unreal

Either one would do Fallout wonders

OR, they could buck up and make a modern Gamebryo

Because while it is old, it's easier than a poor prozzie to mod and manage with minimal skill floor.

CryEngine would be good, but you have to be trained explicitly in how to use it, Unreal is a lot easier but definitely not as easy to modify as Gamebryo unless they go out of their way to expose as much code as possible.

I.E. - XCOM 2

Lmao

I know, but still

Isn't the newest Unreal engine pretty awesome and easy to work with?

Yes

It's retard friendly

Unreal has made it easier for devs to expose basically every variable

It's just down to devs to provide that transparency

The best games are the ones where literally everything can be modified at will, and nothing is hard coded

Also where you can use scripts to globally modify content even outside of vanilla assets.

So Mod A that changes something about say, vanilla weapons, also applies to Mod B weapons.

Without the need for a patch

So, what you're proposing

Is a game made entirely of XML

Or ini files

...
*looks at fallout*

Maybe.

Also that's literally Rimworld and it's great.

But unironically yes, because it gives the player complete freedom to add, remove, or alter gameplay elements at will

And you can run complex games off that system quite easily

Each object is an ini file referencing a texture and mesh, with complex behaviours being referenced scripts.

Which means you can add, remove, or alter anything about the item with ease

I had Rome total war in mind regarding ini files

Yeah that works

Their engine is gamebyro with additional features

It's like how lumberyard is cryengine
