i can't think of many other examples of a game being so incredibly popular and lucrative over so long a time period that didn't create a mass of copy-cats oversaturating the market. I think the fact that no one in the world has even attempted to make a competent skyrim ripoff to this day proves it's the engine that's the reason.
Gaming would truly not be the same with Bethesda and their quirky, flawed, yet incredibly fun and immersive games.
I'm looking forward to the next generation of Creation Engine games, for better and worse. The games don't usually "show" very well and take an incredible amount of time to fine tune and polish, but if I'm being honest they are still some of the funnest and deepest rpg's out there. So what do they do? They keep building more layers on top of this fundamentally flawed foundation. These games truly remember everything and give you choices which really set them apart, but on the other hand the engine is also fundamentally flawed, and the games are often loaded with bugs and jank. The interaction you have with the many NPC's running around their worlds really set their games apart and give off a living, breathing feeling (basically everything the comparatively dead and lifeless Cyberpunk is not, as most of the NPC's blank from existence the moment you turn the other way). They can't let go of the engine because as faulted as it is, it's still uniquely brilliant in other ways.
