• I’m not sure why I should care whether the engine is outdated or not
• I keep hearing this but it runs fine on my mid tier rig
• Writing quality is subjective. It’s good enough for me so far
• These feel like a Bethesda calling card at this point, they have a quirky charm to me
• This is EASILY the least buggy Bethesda game I can recall
• Why should this bother me? It’s running fine for me without it.

None of those add up to “shit game”, in my mind.
