      All their problems started when they expanded to a multi-studio business. There's yet to be a single studio that doesn't start making terrible games once they get to a certain size and the priority changes from making good games to making money first and foremost.

There's a much easier approach in doing this and it is similar to Daggerfall unity where having to own the game because that's the data being utilized but that gets imported into another game engine.

      2) This isn't a playable game, you can make amazing things in unreal engine but to recreate the questing, scripting, physics and NPC actions (as broken as they can be) isn't that easy in UE5. Creation Engine was made for this not graphics and pretty much no one has matched it the creation engine for easy modding abilities yet and Skyrim is more than a decade old.

      Make auto generated quests based upon player actions taken from a curated list so there would only be 100ish quests that would then be automatically modified to fit the circumstances that generated the quest. Make the NPCs have varying behavior patterns based upon their location and its condition as well as their relationship level with the player and other nearby NPCs.
      Of course to do this they would need to hire highly experienced software engineers to design and implement them and pay them like they were. It would take a team of 6-10 people with 5-10 years design experience each and a compensation package of about $500,000 a year for each.
      What game would spend at least $25,000,000 on creating quests and NPC behavior for an untried product? None.

      It's a rendered scene. UE is also a VFX/cinematography software nowadays. Everything on screen is what's in the world. Behind the camera? Nothing. Behind those walls? Nothing. Behind the buildings in hidden alleyways? Also nothing. Camera paths are preplanned and everything is staged, just like it would be in a TV show or Movie, because that's all that's needed. There is no map, but instead a scene. The strain is on the GPU during production of the scene, then on the CPU during rendering.

      Most of the citizens have homes, daily routines, and all the homes can be entered. If it was lore accurate, say there was multiple thousand citizens, you can imagine the performance when they start pathfinding their way to work (remember skyrim came out 2011) not to mention rendering all the houses with all of their objects without loading screens, as people would so prefer. Ditching those details you would get Witcher: lots of population with 90% of the people standing still, rest walking in loops, nothing interactable, can't enter majority of buildings. Works for that game, but the cities in that game are more of a facade than anything else.

    So Unreal Engine 5 - Uses new technology called Nanite - Which takes high poly models {Millions of polys} and turns them into Nanite {In UE5.5 - they will also introduce Nanite for skeletons - which means massive armies all in real-time} - So before you used to have to have like 3 / 4 models of the same item from LOD {Level of Detail} 1 to like 3 / 4 - 3 /4 being basically the lowest form and used for distance - as you used to get closer - the LOD level changes from low to high - Nanite - totally eliminates the OLD LOD system completely. The lighting in UE5 - also uses Lumen - with is GI based real-time lighting - Before we had to set up the lighting and 'bake' the lighting - Lumen does this in Real-Time and so UE5.4 also added a new tool called PCG - which enables you to place 'biomes' {Small environments - Such as a patch of grass; rocks; plants and a trees} quickly and easily!
    BUT it is still a LOT of work to set this all up - And you need a GOOD PC to do it well. All of this together is on the heavy side!

Skyrim is much larger than Iliac Bay, if you compare on a map of Nirn. Of course, there's very good reason the game maps after are downsized a lot in comparison, Daggerfall made generous use of procedural generation, but it's fun to think about. Just about everything is shrunk to 1/10000th the size or something ridiculous like that. The Throat of the World would be quite the hike.

    "This should be the metaverse, not that Mii-U menu thing"
    Can confirm, running around in huge maps ripped from games in VRchat is great! Graphics don't have to be the best ever, even just revisiting Metroid prime or Zelda maps was fun. There's also a lot of original maps, so sometimes you meet other explorers and exchange portal informations, tell them about that one campfire hidden on the other side of the lake that's a good spot and they tell you about a hidden cave with fancy crystals on the walls you missed.
    It's fun to explore these kind of maps as a change of pace from the more social places.
    Bonus point is you can still use a "mii" looking avatar or the fanciest, most unoptimised ones if you want. There's no need to compromise, people make all kind of maps in many styles and same for avatars really. One day you encounter low poly questies, another someone is summoning spaceships or puppeting some monster-hunter creatures.
    It's funny how people always forget this platform exist or believes it's all just memes and E-girls. There is a lot going on, outside of the trending tab.
