I don't even care about the graphics, so that's already off the table. The fact is, Bethesda has made buggy af games on their engine for years. I like them regardless, but I don't know how far that's going to extend into the future.

The point of the article is that the engine isn't automatically at fault and it's a pretty pointless, specific criticism.

Would a Bethesda game suddenly not be buggy or have awful animations if they used a new engine? Nope. That's not a guarantee at all. Is the engine itself dated because they have used it since Oblivion? No because that engine has been drastically changed and updated over the years. Plenty of games use tech that has foundations that go back decades.

Modders for Bethesda games have been finding the same buggy lines of code since Oblivion, so I would say that them starting fresh instead of repeatedly upgrading might very well result in a less buggy engine.
