You can't keep piling new features onto an engine that old, especially the sort of things required to make a Games as a Service title work, and not have things eventually start falling apart. |
Yep. Creation engine is a coding offshoot of Fallout 3's Gamebryo code. But it gets potentially worse. Some of the code from Fallout 3 may date all the way back to Morrowwind. A common practice in coding is to save working code, and then copy/paste it into a new project to save time. I'm willing to bet that Creation Engine is a frankenstein monster of old code duct taped onto new code, that multiple people working years apart threw together over the course of decades.
