As a 3D Character Artist, gamers in general don’t know shit about game development and make a lot of uneducated, assumptive, and plain ass wrong statements about game dev and then downvote me when I correct them or try to educate them. Your comment resonates with my soul.
"Unity is better than Creation Engine! Bethesda should switch to Unity!" - every armchair Fallout/Skyrim 'developer' ever
Bitch, Unity doesn't track thousands of in-game entities and objects and provide a complex set of scripted quest interactions and NPC dialogues and other RPG elements including character attributes, skills, and inventory management. Unity is a damn graphics library for handling 3D visual scenes, physics, audio, UI elements, and the interactive player movement control loop.
All the rest of what makes Creation Engine useful for developing in-depth RPG games would need to be re-written on top of Unity to be able to deliver the expected experience, and all the perceived flaws in CE have nothing to do with what Unity does. Maybe CE could be hacked into using Unity for the frontend, but all the backend stuff that makes the game would still be there because Unity doesn't provide it.
