i think its a panic project that was fired up quickly because Starfield failed so miserably.

unless this was just a side project that a few devs were working on and it was latched on to as a product that could be focused on.

i suspect that while todd was failing to put out fires, a couple devs were like "should we tell them we've been messing around with Oblivion assets in our new engine?"

No, they contracted this game out to another developer, and it's in Unreal. It's been in the works for a long time. If they're smart, it's a testbed for getting future games off of their usual Creation engine.

I hope they made it impossible to mod. In my new but rapidly growing religion, "modding" (desacrating) games is a mortal sin. Elder Scrolls games have damned the souls of many hairy, soft-bodied men.
