How sure are we the creation engine is at fault as opposed to them just requiring far more QA then any of the games you listed?
Not all open world games are equal, many still have relatively narrow progressions trees compared to Skyrim and have far fewer systems to QA. We shouldnt mistake graphics, literal scale or realism of weather simulations for how much QA a game has to go through.

But even if scope is comparable, maybe the Bethesda games just need more time in the kitchen. Maybe they need to change their approach. I havent played fallout but that was launched 6months after its announcement, maybe it should have been 12months. Point is the Engine seems to be a weird focus if were complaining about bugs which apparentlty the MOD community often fixes themselves.

My last experience with Bethesda was skyrim on Xbox360 and I really did not have any majors issues with the game. I poured 100s of hours into it and I cant recall bugs ruining my experience. I will wait to see their next gen project.
