Can they not negotiate an unreal engine license? Unreal engine 5 looks pretty good, and even smaller games can use unreal now and look great. Surely they have to realise that they don't have the current expertise to develop a new game engine for complex modern games if it's taking this long? Surely they have the money to hire some experts to help them build a new game engine?
I've heard, but don't know, that its hard to do Bethesda's trademark "items everywhere, items are physics objects" in other engines. That being said, Outer Worlds still felt like a Bethesda rpg without that so maybe they could take a bold new stance.
